Toeing the Rubber

But baby that's a lie

Red Sox baseball on television today! Unless, of course, you actually live in the Boston area. If what they’ve done historically still holds true, the MLB Network will be airing today’s 1:05pm Sox/Mets game as long as you aren’t in the Boston area market (not sure about NY – do they get blacked out too?). I [...]

The evening comes and we're hanging out

One of the shows not related to baseball that I watch regularly is “Tosh.0″ on Comedy Central. I usually watch it late-night since it’s on opposite another show I watch, “Psych”. So while I’m watching “Psych” tonight and reading my Twitter feed, someone mentions Clay Buchholz being on “Tosh.0″. Now I have no idea what the [...]

And nowhere isn’t there

Watching “The Red Sox Report” on NESN tonight makes me think they might be doing something new on the scoreboard this season at Fenway. They showed outtakes from “Picture Day” and some of the outtakes included the players and coaches having to give answers on camera by saying things like “My favorite food is…” and “My [...]

I wanna be like Nomar G

You all know this by now, but since I’m sitting here with tears streaming down my face I have to write it down to make it real for me. This post will be rambling and incoherent with many uses of unnecessary punctuation. I apologize in advance. At 10:30 this morning the Red Sox will have a press [...]

Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot

You know what makes me weary? People taking credit, even if it’s in a passive way (that is to say they don’t directly take the credit but they don’t ever GIVE the credit to the person deserving of it) for something that isn’t theirs. In the blogging world this happens a lot. Not as much [...]

His pop was met at the ballpark franks

And now for the entry you all new would be coming (Cyn’s Edit: Yes, it actually came earlier but I pulled the entry for various reasons. Problem is, I liked the piece, LOVE the photo and now have official verification that Kyle has, indeed, signed with the Mets, so here it is again – edited [...]

Here I'm, standing such a fool

So yesterday, Mark Wagner, once again, brings the Sox back from the dead and helps propel them to a come from behind win. Initially I was disappointed that I couldn’t watch Remy and Orsillo call the game but it was worth sitting through the cockiness coming from Gary Thorne and his partner throughout the game [...]

But I'm not letting go of this hope

Yesterday’s split squad games were split score-wise too. A win (against Minnesota, putting the Sox ahead again in the Mayor’s Cup race) and a loss. I missed both games but definitely plan to check out Clay Buchholz today at 1:05pm. I’m still not sure if MLBN will be showing the game in the Boston area [...]

Did I throw this out of focus?

Cyn — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:30:48 +0000

Well that wasn’t much fun. You know, we can say or write a thousand times that it doesn’t matter if they win or lose because the games don’t count but it’s never fun to watch them lose (unless Nick Green eventually takes the mound). No Sox fan wants to watch Jon Lester (not as crabby in his [...]

I staggered back to the underground

One of my pet peeves with sports writers (and bloggers and people who claim to be sports fans and comment on sports blogs and articles) is not getting a player’s name right. Drives me crazy. If it’s your job to cover the sport, you should know how to spell the names of the [...]
