    5/5 Cinco de Mayo por las Medias Rojas

    It's going to be extra infuriating this year when the Yankees sweep the Twins out of the playoffs. I think Minnesota is my fourth least favorite franchise, behind 1: MFY and a tie for 2: TB/BAL...

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Rafaela has 22 hits and 17 RBI. I wonder if he has the best RBI/H ratio in the majors among regular players.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    If we had any of those guys, their arms would come flying off - and not only injure the pitcher, but also strike Wong and McGuire in the trachea. Or the larynx. Not sure which. Somewhere in the throat.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    I had the same reaction to Houck in the 7th there as I did with Pedro in the 8th of Game 7. With a lot lower stakes, obviously. Same "what the fuck is he doing?" thought process though.

    This confused the shit out of me for a second.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    Can we give the L to Cora instead of Houck?

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    This game is kinda there for the taking. So let’s fucking score a couple of runs and take it?

    Beat the Giants today Avril 30

    If you had told me in March that the Red Sox would finish April 17-13 and be in a wild card spot, and then asked me what I thought the biggest factor was, I would have said "probably luck". If you had told me they would do it with significant injuries to: Casas (60 day DL) Grissom (misses all...

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    This Voodoo Bobby stuff is nonsense. The real explanation is that Chris Sale was some sort of Passively Active Green Mile Bad Juju Lightning Rod. Imagine you're Chris Sale. You're riding a bicycle. All of a sudden, you experience an intense flash and are whisked away from reality. In your...

    I guess the malignant demon that was terrorizing Chris Sale wasn’t included in the trade.

    The Amazing Criswell?

    It may be the only way to save him from injury.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    If I had to guess, Cora is protecting Yoshida a bit. He’s been a bit better the past couple of games, and maybe doesn’t want the lefty to throw him off whatever mojo he has.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    I remember about twenty years ago, someone made the argument for batting pitchers eighth, and that the number nine hitter should basically be a second leadoff hitter. Was that a LaRussa thing?

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    Wouldn’t be the first time a SOSH member wasn’t sure about the ‘g’ spot.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    I’m not sure if it says more about me, or the state of this team that I saw “Reyes, P” in the lineup, and my first thought was “wow, they’re using the pitcher to bat… seventh no less…”

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I had a window of about four years where I was a pretty decent player. I also sucked defensively. If I kept playing baseball, I probably could have been an okay right fielder in high school, with a really pesky bat. A typical game for me was something like 0 for 0, 3 BB, 2 SB. One season I had...
