Worst. Wild Pitch. Ever.
April 20, 2008 by
Center Field
| Comments
Last night's game against the Hanshin Tigers in Tokyo was epic. The 11:00 pm start time. The dueling national anthems. The boom sticks. The constant chants and fight songs. The lack of helpful graphics and scoreboard on the screen. The two rows of bowling alley seats in the dugouts. The h...

You know it's time for the Sox-Yanks rivalry to ramp up when random (and hilarious) stories start popping up. Via the always reliable New York Post (cough, cough) - but too funny not to post...

Timlin's Not-So-Grand Homecoming
April 20, 2008 by

I'm fairly certain that Mike Timlin didn't want to make his re-entrance from the DL and leave this kind of stat line in his wake:
That is not a misprint: he has a 54.00 ERA. Whic...

Can Of Corn

A "can of corn" is a can't-miss high fly ball, an easy catch an outfielder can (and should) make without any trouble. Around here, a can of corn contains all the can't-miss posts I'...

Bombs & Plunks
April 18, 2008 by
Center Field
| Comments
What would a Red Sox-Yankees game be without hits? The kind of hits that send a ball over the outfield fence. Or the kind of hits that plunk a batter (or two). Or just plain ol' fisticuffs. Last night's game was no exception.
Mike Mussina started off the hit parade by plunking ...

The Intern

Center Field
| Comments
Brand spankin' new rookie call-up Jed Lowrie wasted no time, throwing up a hit and driving in the first 3 RBI of last night's victory over the Indians -- his first game in a big boy Red Sox uniform. That means Jed now has more RBI with the Red Sox in one game than he notched...

I have unlocked the secret to the Sox victories in Cleveland these past two days: video games.

His teammates love him. The fans love him. The baseball writers love him. The other ballplayers love him. His hometown loves. These days, just about the only people who don't love Dustin Pedroia are fans of the opposing teams.
