Slip and Fall
05 May 09 08:02 PM | SarahN
Not really what I want to be writing about but it's been a rough coupla days. This time last week the Sox were in first, now they're sitting in 4th. Ouch. It's only two and a half games out as I type this and they are playing first place KC...

It's May Day Not Mayday (whew)
02 May 09 06:21 AM | SarahN
Some days in April I felt like I didn't know what we had and others it seemed that things were starting to take shape (for good). I guess first place, even by a narrow margin, alleviates some of the worry. What I do like, beside the obvious, are the...

Back to Back 300 Jacks
13 April 09 06:27 PM | SarahN
For the first time in MLB history two teammates have hit century milestones in the same game. Not only that but Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko did it hitting back-to-back in the second. That's the cool thing about baseball, this game is played over...

Kicking and Screaming
10 April 09 09:19 PM | SarahN
With the exception of my stomach turning every time I saw the red and blue #24 I was feeling OK about this game until about the 7th inning but before I go there I'll begin with what I thought would be the main focus of my thoughts tonight. I was at...

Numah 2 & Numah 3

Wow, not the way I’d like to start things out. Floyd and Danks both deserved wins but got little to no support. I am really not ready to see this (again) all year. I am fighting to not let this wreck things for me, I’m so excited it’s baseball season...

1 Down, 161 to Go
07 April 09 08:20 PM | SarahN
The Fun Sox win! Baseball is here! Chris Getz had a good day as did Josh Fields (laid down a perfect bunt and had nice jumping throw to home to save a run). Welcome back to the AL Central Kyle Farnsworth, we’re glad you are here and although we don’t...

Bring It On

Obviously all the SoxFest chatter got me anxious for Spring Training and now that ST is here I'm wishing I could be in AZ! I'm ready to see what unfolds in centerfield, 2nd base, 3rd base and in the rotation. I'm antsy to watch Alexei at his...

So Long Swish. Dirty Thirty, We Hardly Knew Thee

I feel like commenting on next season is like commenting on a meal without having eaten it and without even seeing the menu. This time of year (between now and Spring Training and Spring Training and regular season) typically makes me nuts. Not because...

OUCH!

Man, what a bummer. Jose's first game back and he ruptures his achilles tendon on first base. Lots of moves tonight as a result: Sox have acquired Horacio Ramirez...and from what I can tell it's a good pickup. Josh Fields and Boone Logan sent...

Pieces of Eight

I wish I had more time but here are my thoughts on the last eight games. First, it's always great to come back from the West Coast (or anywhere) with a winning record, however, we were stranding WAY too many guys on base. I know you can't get...

...when Verlander is in town and the Gambler isn't dealing. Verlander's record vs the Sox is now 1-6 and today just wasn't Kenny Rogers' day. I wish I had more time but I really need to start packing for a business trip this week so here's...

Wow, is DET hurting. They are going to win a game some time but considering their next series is in BOS I will be surprised if it's anytime in their next series. It's kind of funny. Have you taken a look at the 1st week standings ? Yes, I KNOW...

Whew. It feels so good to win, never gets old! I know it's only the first series and who wants to ever get swept but in the very beginning of the year--I think it would have just hurt a little bit more if we didn't manage to pull out at least...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I've kind of been draggin my feet on this season starting, wasn't feeling like I was ready to give up all my time but it's all back: insomnia, chills, goosebumps, elation, anxiety, passion, clenched jaw, desk...
