It’s time once again for that annual ritual: the parade of the sometimes weird, sometimes fugly, always slightly crazy All-Star Game batting practice jerseys! Except this time, there’s a twist: the BP unis are actually… nice-looking. No, seriously.

Last night was a glorious night to be at Fenway. Didn’t matter that the skies were dumping down a continuous sheet of rain, didn’t matter that the temperatures were April-ish numbers, didn’t matter that there were way too many fans in pinstripes slithering around...

A dude from Connecticut who thinks that throwing some Kentucky blue grass seeds on the dirt at Fenway will somehow magically lead to Yankee grass sprouting there. Hey, genius: seeds need to be sown before they can grow– and we already use Kentucky blue grass anyway.

Best Laid Plans (Video Overload)

So I had this fabulous idea to treat everyone to a handful of posts throughout the off-day yesterday in which I’d post random funny/interesting videos from the last few weeks of games. And then work tidal waved over my day, and all my carefully crafted plans fell by the wayside...

Major league baseball players are a fiercely competitive bunch — they have to be, to rise from the ranks of lowly A-ball, all the way up through the minors and successfully make it onto a big league roster. So it should come as no surprise that when making important career-related...

Instead of focusing on this:
How about we all focus on this:
Did that work? Did everyone manage to be distracted by Dice-K with his cute children, and and forget that we lost 2 of 3 to the Rangers? No? Well, it was worth a try.

Anything you can do, I can do better…
I’m beginning to think John Farrell must have a giant “JOSH VS. JON” poster hung up on the wall in the clubhouse. You know, like the ones elementary school teachers use to track students’ progress, by awarding gold...

It’s Friday. A full weekend of baseball here at home at Fenway Park stretches ahead of us, a fantastic (but thoroughly exhausting) series sweep just finished behind us. Everyone’s either scrambling to get things done before heading out to the ballpark/bar/couch of their...

No No-No, But Beckett Dominates
June 04, 2009 by
Center Field
| Comments
There are a few unwritten rules of baseball you never break. Don’t mess with a ballplayer’s lucky bat or glove. Don’t date your teammate’s ex-girlfriend. And if a pitcher is deep into a no-hitter bid, you don’t try and break it up with a horseshit bunt...

So you’re the Atlanta Braves. You decide that the best way to operate is to let one of your all-time greatest pitchers walk away in the offseason (farewell, John Smoltz!), are bound and determined to make Jeff Francoeur some kind of folk hero despite the fact he’s not actually...

It was not a good day for Detroit. The city board voted today to tear down old Tiger Stadium. The Red Wings lost to the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals. General Motors just filed bankruptcy, and Comerica Park still has the big sponsored “GENERAL MOTORS” sign hanging...

The Bill Simmons Fanatic: if you’re in New England, everyone knows at least one. There used to be a lot more of these BSFs - back in the day when his writing style was a breath of fresh air in the stale landscape of sports journalism, back when every column wasn’t peppered...
