Sox, Yankees Tied. Indians Fall One Game Off The Pace
Friday, September 30th, 2005One down, two to go.
With tonight’s win, the Red Sox have pulled even with the NY Yankees atop the AL East… both teams have identical 94-66 records. Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 3-2, in 13 innings, as the Indians fell one game back of both Boston and NY [...]
All’s Wells That Ends Wells
Friday, September 30th, 2005You’ve heard it on talk radio for the last two or three days: David Wells has been complaining about his knee… and in so doing he has created a built-in excuse in case he were to falter against the NY Yankees this evening.
Oh well… so much for the typically-pessimistic, get-a-lifers who frequent sports talk [...]
M-V-P-api! Ortiz Leads Late-Inning Comeback… Sox Prevail
Thursday, September 29th, 2005With all due respect to Bob Nightengale, of Sports Weekly, and others of his ilk, the M. V. P. Award is not the “Best Hitter Award” or the “Best All-Around Player Award”… it is the Most VALUABLE Player Award. In terms of a game show — Jeopardy — the question is: which [...]
Arroyo A-Roasted by Blue Jays
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005Bronson Arroyo’s worst outing in more than a month came at the worst possible time for the Red Sox. Matching a season-worst effort by giving up seven earned runs in three-plus innings pitched, Arroyo and the Red Sox were beaten handily by Ted Lilly and the Toronto Blue Jays this evening by the score [...]
Schilling Comes Up Short – Sox/Jays Split Doubleheader
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005In perhaps the most important start of his season, Curt Schilling gave up 10 hits and yielded 5 runs in 6 1/3 IP as the Toronto Blue Jays overcame a pair of three-run deficits to beat the Red Sox 7-5 in the second game of today’s doubleheader – salvaging a split of today’s twin bill.
The [...]
Going for the Sweep
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005Behind the three-hit pitching on knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and two RBI from David Ortiz, the Red Sox won the first game of today’s day-night doubleheader… RSN now looks to Curt Schilling to lead them to a sweep of today’s twin bill.
This afternoon’s victory leaves the Red Sox in a dead heat with the NY Yankees [...]
AL MVP: Ortiz? Or A-Rod?
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005The race for the AL MVP Award has undeniably come down to two players – David Ortiz (DH – Bos) and Alex Rodriguez (3B – NYY). While there are other players who are important to their teams only Big Papi and A-Rod have put up the kind of numbers that warrant a “first place” [...]
Yaz In The Final Week and Post-Season
Monday, September 26th, 2005With the Red Sox and Yankees both winning yesterday, they are tied atop the AL East with identical 91-64 records (and currently reside 1/2 game behind the Cleveland Indians for the Wild Card slot).
On this date in 1967, the Red Sox lost to the Cleveland Indians, 6-3. The winning pitcher for Cleveland on that [...]
And DOWN The Stretch They Come
Sunday, September 25th, 2005As Red Sox Nation awakens this morning, we look ahead to a pennant race with eight games remaining in the 2005 regular season… and the fact that there are exactly eight games remaining causes me to recollect the stretch drive of the 1978 baseball season.
When reminiscing about 1978, most people remember the Red Sox [...]
On Curt Schilling
Saturday, September 24th, 2005Like many who number themselves among Red Sox Nation, I listen to WEEI daily… often for several hours at a time (as my job requires me to travel extensively across New Hampshire). I refuse to listen in the morning — as John Dennis and Gerry Callahan have turned their morning sports talk show [...]
