Anyone Interested In An Over The Monster Book ... Club?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:01:06 -0500

Books are fun! View full size photo » A lot of other blogs do this, so I'll throw it out, too: is anyone interested in participating in an Over The Monster book club? Essentially, we'd all agree on a Red Sox/baseball book and read it. That's the premise. There's a lot of different routes we can go: we can just say, 'hey, finish it in a month' and then I'll make a post and we can talk about it....

First Person To Call Darren Bent, “Balloon Boy” Is Banned From The Comments Section

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:25:31 -0500

EPL Talk figures Darren Bent’s freaky-fluke goal to defeat Liverpool is worthy of a Nena name-drop, proving, if nothing else, there’s a very small audience for classic French cinema in this country. Dustin Pedroia might have something to say about the lousy groundskeeping, though.

Red Sox Lost Because ~ Papelbon? Wagner? Pedroia? Nope...

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:43:00 -0500

It was Fenway's grounds crew. "It [Kendry Morales' grounder] took a bad hop," Dustin Pedroia said. "Our infield (stinks). It's the worst in the game." "I'm not lying about that. That is true. I...

Pedroia: It's the field's fault

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:00:00 -0500

In yesterday's Sox-Angels game there was a play in the eighth that bothered some of the Red Sox, specifically Dustin Pedroia. Boston was leading 5-2 and the Angels had runners on 1st and 2nd with one out and Kendry Morales was at the dish. Morales hit what looked like an easy double play ball, but it took a bad hop, and Pedroia had to dive for the ball. Instead of an inning-ending DP it ended up just being a force at first. The Angels would score two in the inning, and then three more in ...

Dustin Pedroia & Jonathan Papelbon – Players Of The Month For July!

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:08:36 -0500

Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia and Jonathan Papelbon! As they were both selected by YOU, the fans to be the BoSox Injection’s Boston Red Sox Players of the Month, for July 2009. They both easily ran away with this contest, the moment the voting started. After that they just put it into cruise control, for the [...]

Geist: "I'd have no problem putting an offspeed pitch in Pedroia's back"

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:17:00 -0500

I got this in my inbox yesterday from the folks over at The Villiage Voice. It's an interview with MSNBC's Williams Geist. Why is this relevant? Because he's a big time Yankees fan.You're a Yankees fan. If you ever got a pitching start for the Yanks and could bean one opposing player, who would it be? Does throwing at A-Rod during batting practice count? If not, I'd go with Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox. I've never been big on the baseball tradition of throwing a hard ...

Pedroia to miss ‘09 ASG

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:27:19 -0500

Dustin Pedroia is going to skip out on the All-Star Game this year but before you start fuming, it’s not for Manny Ramirez-esque reasons. Pedroia’s pregnant wife is currently hospitalized with “early labor complications” so he’s going to go spend some time with her. He’ll be replaced on the roster by TB first baseman Carlos [...]

Dustin Pedroia: MVP, Champion, Financial Advisor

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:00:43 -0500

Give Dustin Pedroia credit: he likes to have some fun with a camera on him. He’s not much of an actor (and was quite noticeably outclassed in that awesome MLB ‘09 commercial), but he’s, y’know, out there. (Alcohol, for one, is not a solid investment. Buy some anyway.) It naturally follows, then (no it doesn’t), that Pedroia [...]

Pedroia's Power Outage

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:00:14 -0500

Browse more photos » I wish I'd been able to think of a snappier title, but that one gets right to the heart of the matter. Less than a year after winning the MVP, Pedroia's Green-Monster-aided slugging stands at a paltry .392, more than .100 below the mark he put up during his 2008 campaign. Si...

Sullivan Tire has incriminating pictures of Dustin Pedroia

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:26:35 -0500

Today, we pay tribute to the Red Sox phenomenon know as Sullivan Tire commercials. A few years ago, Terry Francona was the star of these low-budget, terribly edited, thick Boston accent-filled, so bad they’re good commercials. Now, the primary victim seems to be Dustin Pedroia. Either Paul Sullivan has incriminating pictures of the MVP or he got Petey to sign a 10-year contract when he was batting .200 that first month of ‘07. “I don’t know, this could be the only endorsement deal I ever get… I’d better sign. I mean, $1500 is a lot of money!” To Sox fans, these commercials are nothing new, and in fact you may be incredibly sick of them. But if you’re not being assaulted...
