Fashion Police: All-Star BP Jerseys
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.
The typography! The bat incorporated into the logo! The callback of the [...]© Center Field

I’m Still Calling It A No-Hitter
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. None of that mattered even the slightest, because of [...]© Center Field

Things That Are Lame
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. FAILHAT.
Instead, I will [...]© Center Field

Look! Over Here! Cute Things!
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.

Pair Of Aces
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 stars for accomplishing tasks? Except Farrell’s chart lists [...]© Center Field

Hangin’ With Torii and Big Papi
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 choice — or is too worn out to do much [...]© Center Field

No No-No, But Beckett Dominates
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 attempt. Gerald Laird of the [...]© Center Field

Glavine + Smoltz - Make It Happen
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 very good at baseball, and [...]© Center Field

Something Went Squirrelly In Detroit
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 over the outfield.* [...]© Center Field

Kudos, Bill Simmons
The Bill Simmons Fanatic: if you’re in New England, everyone knows at least one.

Here Smoltz Comes To Save The Day
In a season that’s seen the young studs in the Sox rotation look shaky while the old workhorse Tim Wakefield has stepped up to fill the ace role more often than not, spotting uber-veteran hurler John Smoltz riding in on the Sox horizon is cause for some major celebration.
Smoltz made his longest rehab start yet [...]© Center Field

Not your typical Red Sox site- an irreverant look at the team and the game from a girl who is devoted to baseball. And yes, sometimes there are posts about things other than the Red Sox- sometimes I even talk about football! Commentary, videos, analysis, humor and lots more.
