Today is opening day at Fenway Park: Corey Kluber (Cy Young twice) will be on the mound with McGuire catching, Verdugo in right field, Devers at third, Turner has come back after taking a pitch in the face and will be today’s designated hitter, Yoshida is out in left field, Duvall in center field, Casas …
All I can say is Thank you Red Sox! Not just for winning the World Series, but for being such decent, and frankly, adorable, guys. How easy was it to cheer for this team, and the equally-lovable Alex Cora? Those games were a daily balm on my frayed nerves. And as if we didn’t love …
When Dennis Eckersley is doing color for a Red Sox game, I always leave it on. When Jerry Remy is in the booth? I usually end up switching it off. Last year, as the Red Sox organization was covering itself with glory with one bone-headed decision after another, team chairman Tom Werner decided that the …
So there are several reasons for not wanting to watch the Red Sox this season, but one of them can be fixed. Having color analyst Jerry Remy, father of confessed murderer Jared Remy, in the booth is unsettling and unpleasant, and watching baseball is supposed to be fun. It may have been a little harder …
(3.31) The Boston Red Sox kick off the new season today against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Some stuff to know: 1) Shaaaaaane! According to the Boston Globe and the Red Sox Shane Victorino has pulled a hammie and, at the time of this writing, is still questionable for opening day. Jackie Bradley Jr. …
Update from Red Sox: “In light of the tragic events that befell our community yesterday, the Boston Red Sox will postpone tomorrow’s Open House at Fenway Park. It will be rescheduled for later this season.” Play hooky from work and head up to Boston for a Fenway walkabout. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., fans …
(4.8) Visitors to the recent RISD Faculty Biennial were greeted with an eclectic hodgepodge of work very unlike the typically curated exhibition. Exquisite Japanese joinery rubbed elbows with Skull-Bot. And there in the middle of one room was this weirdass pile of powdery, rubber hand molds. It looked pretty cool actually. And what better way …
If you fell asleep before the end of last night’s Red Sox game, Dustin Pedroia singled to right and drove in the winning run. The game ended at 1:54am, coming in at 5 hours and 44 minutes. By the time the madness had ended, Pedroia had even earned a new nickname within the confines of …
Okay, this looks like a promo for The Bachelor — age 30, enjoys deer hunting, meeting lingerie models, and being Texan — are you his San Antonio Rose? But let’s face it, he is kind of adowable. According to the ProJo Beckett, who had reaggravated a previous injury in May “on a wet mound”, is …
Due to the ridiculous tenacity of the Boston Red Sox there will actually be a game seven of the ALCS, so the previously scheduled Pub Quiz at the Wild Colonial has been postponed to October 26th. I hope TBS has worked out the bugs. It would be nice to see the whole game.
Sox take season opener with Oakland 6-5, with Manny driving in Lugo and Pedroia with a two-run double in the tenth. Papalbon not quite in the groove yet. You gotta love the Japanese… stadium music was Dropkick Murphys of course, and ‘If you’re happy and you know it’. Watch game two tomorrow morning on NESN …
