Obviously we've all neglected this precious place.  I'll admit life becomes so overwhelming that we don't have time to focus on the things we love to do or have enough time in the day to do them all.  Trying to maintain several blogs and now several fantasy baseball teams can be pretty damn tough...but hey I'm willing to continue giving it a try.  I've missed the Sistahs and this site so I'm

The season opening post comes to us from an anonymous Canadian guest blogger, who was somewhat surprised to learn that C.C. Sabathia is on my fantasy baseball team. Dear Theo, You may recall that I am your most loyal fan. You may also recall that I bleed Red Sox blood and have cheered the loudest of anyone, even in the Jimy years. You know that a) if you were taller, b) if you were Catholic,

Okay, so it's been a while...but there's good reason to bring back the blog: David Ortiz needs us!We haven't "had" to really do one of these in a while...but Sistah Kelly J (Triumphant Red Sox Fan) has decided (and we all agree) that now is definitely the time!Here's what you need to do:Get or make 10 postcards and write encouraging messages.

Eric Hinske, one of the offensive catalysts for the Rays this year, is batting .174 over the last ten games (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Frank Gunn)So we're into August of the 2008 season and the Sox are still in second place with the Tampa Bay Rays not looking to slow down any time soon, right?Well, no.

Okay, the season is better than a week old, but it's Opening Day at Fenway and that's what's important, right?The Sistahs are going to make a concerted effort to post more - the off-season is our time of rest, seemingly - so we hope you join us while the Sox make a run for back to back Championships!Every year on Opening Day, the fellas at Surviving Grady post the video of James Earl Jones' "

This is the face, I promise you, of a player we will absolutely adore all season long.I've always liked Sean Casey and I was thrilled when the Sox signed him. Here's a guy who could have signed somewhere else and been a starter. Instead, he chooses to sign with the Sox as a bench player. There hasn't been a photo taken of him yet where he isn't smiling. He hasn't given an interview yet where

Thanks for giving me another venue to express myself. Thank you for being you. I have great confidence in our boys for 2008.

Thanks for the great gift in 2004 too. I won't ask for all those dvd's, cd's, books, posters, and other things mlb, nesn, and the globe and others are selling....I'll just buy them myself.

Isn't this just the cutest holiday card? It was designed by two of my sisters (one of them is SoxCruiser who also blogs here). I think they did a fabulous job and we've only had to wait two years for this card to become a perfect Red Sox holiday card (it was designed in 2005). The inside message says "Miracles Do Happen".

October is a magical time in New England. The smell of the first wood fires, pumpkins, cornstalks, fresh apple crisp, and the ultimate thrill….the possibility of the Red Sox being in the post season. There is nothing like a Red Soxtober. Unless…you don’t have tickets.The people I work with and socialize with usually consider me to be the biggest Red Sox fan they know. I’m completely positive and

"Winning the World Series and shooting a big old buck are the same kind of feeling. They're such a huge rush. There's nothing else that's given me that kind of feeling in my life." That's a quote from Beckett back in 2005 from a Field and Stream magazine. According to Josh, he's a huge fanatic of hunting....he even won the Muy Grande in 2002. Tonight Josh was the Muy Grande of Fenway Park. He

It isn't as if my sistahs are EVER at a loss for words, and it isn't as if there's been nothing going on, so why the dearth of posting here in the last (counting on all fingers and toes) 36 days?Somebody get in here and write something brilliant, before I have to round you all up and smack you all upside the head.

That pic of Joshua Patrick was taken by myself in San Diego. If you know anything about Joshua Patrick, you know that Roger Clemens has been someone he's role modeled after. After all, Roger played for the University of Texas and helped them win a College World Series. Josh used to play as a kid pretending to be Roger...well trying to pitch like him.

The A's are coming!It isn't just that the Sox are home, where they enjoy a slightly better record than they do on the road; or that they have their number one and two starters going for them in Curt Schilling tonight and Josh Beckett tomorrow; or even that they have a chance to improve their already major league best record against a team that is currently a game under .500

Sunday night I finally had a chance to actually watch an entire Red Sox game without falling asleep and I find myself yelling at the TV in the eighth inning as I watch the bull pen let Schilling's great outing start slip sliding away. Then Jonathan Papelbon runs to the mound and seeing his display of confidence makes it impossible not to believe that he will deliver us from evil. Fifteen pitches

Yesterday started out for me like many other days. I went out for my morning walk at 8 a.m. When I got home I didn't change out of my walking clothes, didn't shower, didn't fix my hair, didn't put on any make-up and didn't brush my teeth. Aren't you glad you weren't with me yesterday? I didn't realize until my sister (affectionately known as SoxCruiser around here) called me at 5 p.m. and asked

Pete Rose doesn't have a new book to sell, so why - all of a sudden - does he go on the Dan Patrick Show today and admit that, not only did he bet on baseball, he bet on the Reds - "every night".Is he so thoroughly stupid that he thinks admitting this now will bring MLB and the fans who don't want to see his face on a plaque at the Baseball Hall of Fame around?I've maintained all along that if

Dear Johnny Damon (or can I just call you Johnny?):You and me, we have a lot in common. We both have World Series rings. We both are misunderstood by the media and the fans. And we both love wrestling!We're soul brothers. Made for each other. So I was thinking about a way to bring the two of us together. Not in a gay way (although I hear some ladies dig that.

In my previous blog about my first Trot Nixon sighting, I mention being at Fenway Park on September, 1, 1993 for batting practice. I was also still at Fenway Park at 1:30 a.m.! There was a long rain delay that night and the game went into extra innings but the Rangers beat the Red Sox 5-3 in 12 innings. There weren't many people left in the park when the game ended. It also happened to be Nolan

Many of my sistahs have heard my story about the first time I saw Trot Nixon. Today is a good day to blog about it. I am very sad that Trot will no longer be wearing a Red Sox uniform. The longer the J.D. Drew announcement didn't happen, I had a glimmer of hope that the Sox would find a place for Trot. He's found a place in my heart. Here's my story:Back in 1993 one of my sisters (that's a real

Free-agent outfielder Trot Nixon has agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cleveland Indians, ESPN.com's Peter Gammons reports.There are a thousand reasons not to want Trot back, not the least of which is the unfulfilled potential of Trot as a top farm prospect, right alongside Nomar Garciaparra. In so many ways, he never really panned out. But that doesn't make me feel any

While enjoying a few cocktails with a some of my Sox Sistahs at the Cask, I ventured onto the topic of what they thought of the 2006 Red Sox season. People have a tendency to seek me out to discuss everything Sox and I have been amazed at how negative people have been about the 2006 season. It surprises me, because I don't really judge a season by the standings at the end of the year. I look at

I haven't met many players in person, but I had the chance to meet Gabe in December of 2005 (the picture above is from that meeting). He was well-(and soft) spoken and so obviously happy to be there. That season ended poorly for him. He ruptured his Achilles' tendon and some of us were sure he wouldn't play in 2006.I asked him that day how he felt and he told me he felt great. He also told me

Today is the day set aside for us Americans to give thanks to whomever or whatever we feel thankful to for our bounty. For those of us with a special interest in baseball and the Red Sox, it is also an appropriate time to ignore the negativity that manages to infuse itself into our game and our team and instead focus on the good stuff.In that spirit, here are a few of the many things I am

Over on my own Red Sox blog, I finally wrapped up the postseason stats of ex-Red Sox players and even did a drive-by posting about what little hot stove news there has been.

There are those dates in history where people will ask you where you were when it happened and you instantly know the answer without hesitation. Today is a day that all Red Sox fans know where they were and how they reacted.This is a day that actually changed my existence as a baseball fan forever. I thought maybe it was temporary, but after two years I can honestly say that having the Red Sox

But do I really want him in the bullpen for another season?That is the question on many Red Sox fans' lips following the announcement that the Red Sox have signed Mike Timlin to a one-year contract for 2007. To understand the reluctance, consider that Timlin's 2006 ERA was 4.36, significantly higher than his 3.55 career ERA; his strikeouts-to-walks ratio was down to 1.88 compared to 3.75 for his

Forgive me if I have to get away for a few days. I know you'll understand.It's been a trying season for us loyal Red Sox fans. Even when the team was doing well and firmly planted in first place—which was most of the season—there were worries. When will Jason Varitek come out of his hitting slump that began last September? Is Coco Crisp's throwing arm really that bad? Where did Trot Nixon's

On September 1st, Red Sox Nation received terrible news. Our rookie pitcher, Jon Lester, was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of blood cancer, and will have to begin treatment almost immediately.Along with being one of the best young arms the Red Sox have in their system, Jon is a good guy and only 22 years old.

His name is Rudy Caballero Seañez. The middle name means "cowboy" (an anonymous reader gives the meaning as "knight"; Google translator gives "horseman") and the last name is pronounced "Say-AHN-yez" even though most people pronounce it "SEE-uh-nez." I pronounce it "the bane of my existence." In 40 games this season, he has allowed at least a hit or a walk in all but eight. His ERA is 4.17,

Granted, yesterday's 9-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners was a menagerie of "how not to play baseball" moments, but most troubling for me were the implosions of relievers Manny Delcarmen and Mike Timlin. In my efforts to make sense of what happened, I could reach only one logical conclusion.These men desperately need some Beazer lovin'.It was way back in January that Little Manny got the thrill of

When I’m driving, I have a tendency to listen to sports radio. That is until the men just start shouting and talking over each other and it becomes too much noise to bear. Recently, I have heard them talking very disparagingly about the fans in the pink hats. It seems that the guys on WEEI believe that the people that wear pink hats are all new bandwagon fans.Over the past couple weeks I have

I love David Ortiz!I’m happy he wears a Red Sox uniform.I’m overjoyed that the Red Sox signed him to a new, long contract.He deserved to win the 2005 MVP trophy.He deserved to play on the 2005 All-Star team as the DH.He does NOT deserve to be elected to the 2006 All-Star team as a first baseman.Ortiz played first base Friday night and he did a fine job at that position and hit a home run. It was

(a bit cranky) What? Bronson, brother! I have Johnny on conference call, hold on! Why did I answer the phone? Duude! We heard you were pitching against the Pirates tonight, so we called to celebrate our wins! We rock, dude! John Henry and those guys are bumming now!I got two hits and two rbi INCLUDING a homerun off of Wake, man! We kicked ass! I went 0 for 5...but we still WON! Yankees, man,

In the Boston Globe story linked in the subject line, Nomar talks about being comfortable playing in L.A. and playing for his former manager, Grady Little. It's a nice piece, bound to make any of Nomar's Boston fans feel happy that the former All Star finally seems to have some peace.It's no secret that the Boston media hounded Nomar relentlessly while he was in Boston. And when he wouldn't give

One of my good friends was born outside New York City and is a Yankee fan. My husband and I are well known for our fanaticism over the Red Sox so when they see my husband in his Red Sox hat and then spot the guy next to him in the Yankee hat they are astounded they are friends.My take is if you are from NY than you should be rooting for a NY team. Being born into Red Sox Nation I can’t imagine

It's fun to do this every so often, and last night's game provides the perfect opportunity.0-for-3. Two fielding errors. A .259 batting average. One "fan" on the Yankees MLB message board called him "so freaking unclutch it isnt funny." A column headline in the New York Post calls him "E-Rod" and even the team's owner is p*ssed.Such are the life and times of Alex Rodriguez against the Red Sox

(Author's note: I had to beat the evil Beazer to the punch...)Hello?Bronson, what's up, man? I didn't expect you to pick up—don't you guys have a game or something?Yeah, I just ran into the clubhouse to take a leak.

After that unfortunate loss on Wednesday night against Toronto, closer-for-now Jonathan Papelbon got back into form in game 2 of the series, earning his 11th save in as many chances. (Contrary to what one co-worker believes, the loss was not a blown save, since he came into a tie game.) There are so many reasons to love this guy, so let's start with the baseball reasons.Games: 16Innings: 17Hits:

Doug Mirabelli is back! And with his return comes the end of the Josh Bard Era, ever to be known by Red Sox fans as the "Please, not another passed ball!" era. This is clearly good news, especially since the Yankees are in town tonight and Tim "Yankee Killer" Wakefield really doesn't need all that sloppiness behind the plate to distract him from the task at hand.Besides, Mirabelli is so much

Every new baseball season there are always a new crop of ads on NESN that I usually find mildly amusing. It always tickles me to see the players doing ads the first few times you see it. Oh, by about the 1,000th time I heard Curt practicing his Boston accent or hitching a ride to "break a curse" it wasn't so amusing any longer.I find myself chuckling this year over Wake ripping his shirt open to

This is something else that really irks me. Any of us who have played any sort of organized/coached ball know you should always use two hands when fielding the ball if you can.As Ty Weddington (or whatever the Hell his name is) showed us the other night, when you're a showboat/lazyass/too cool studly outfielder who camps under a ball and then tries a nifty little one-handed snag, sometimes things

You can't blame him. He did his job, allowing only two earned runs in eight innings. That ought to be enough to get your team a win, but in the surreal world of Tim Wakefield, it doesn't work that way.In four starts so far this season, Wakefield has only one win to three losses. We all remember that first loss, the 7-run shellacking in four innings against Texas on that opening road trip. But his

Today, J.J. Putz gave up a single to Jason Varitek in the 8th inning of the Sox/Mariners game that scored Trot Nixon and tied the game. NESN showed the replay of Putz's reaction about three times. He watched the ball not get caught and he clearly yelled "fuck"!Let me repeat that. NESN showed the replay of this more than once.In the ninth, Keith Foulke got himself into a heap of trouble and was

At the beginning of each game, the Fenway Park announcer and the electronic scoreboard announce a special security hotline that fans can call from their cell phones to report someone who is interfering with their enjoyment of the game. That's what they say, "If someone is interfering with your enjoyment of the game, call the Fenway Park security hotline," or something very close to that.So

Here's the line score from last night's game:123456789RTOR0600110008BOS1000000236Now suppose each team's highest and lowest scoring innings are thrown out. That would give us:123456789RTORXX00110002BOS1X000002X3That would be one way around Matt Clement's tendency to choose one inning per game in which to implode.

Let's say you have some money burning a hole in your pocket. Then let's say you spend that money on a baseball ticket. If you go that far, you're probably going to want to actually go to the game.But then what? What to do once you're actually sitting in a major league baseball stadium?There really are only three options:Watch the gameDrink heavily (usually accompanied by eating heavily)Heckle.

Apologies to those of you who've heard me lament about this before but this seriously bothers me! Especially in the case of certain long-time red socks wearers like my boy Trot. All the sudden this year he's NOT wearing them? WHY NOT? So we've got 'Tek and Timlin and J.T. Snow on our current roster who sport the red socks. Anyone else? In years past we had Millar and Bellhorn and even Manny
