Yeah John. We had that 5th Championship wrapped up by 1936!
What’s amazing, when you really look at it, is that in a 39 year span (1923 to 1962) the Yanks nailed down 20 World Series titles. (never going more than 3 years without a championship). That’s just flat out crazy!
Then a [...]

Thank you for posting the quote from Shaughnessy Mike.
I think that the Red Sox organization and their fans will find that breaking the curse was a simple task compared to the feat of consistent excellence.
The 27th World Series Championship is the most difficult to win.

The actual quote from Shaughnessy on June 26th was…
“It’s OK to say it. Don’t worry about jinxing them. The 2005 Red Sox are going to win the American League East. By a landslide. Come late September, this is going to look like Secretariat at the Belmont in 1973. After looking up at the Orioles for [...]

Soon Epstein will be playing Bush to Francona’s Rove. Not really, he’d not have that kind of loyalty. Maybe Terry manages by staying out of the way (knows his limitations?) , but the guy delivered their first rings in 86 years, they should give him some leeway. Boston is to sports media as [...]

I wonder if anybody remembers Dan Shaugnessy’s article a few weeks ago that basically said the Yankees were “done” and gave the Sox the division. I wonder if he still feels the same way…
One could say the Yankees won’t win the division but a team in first place on July 19 is hardly “done.” [...]

No matter what it was last night, I’ll take it. They threw away so many games early in the season, its nice to see them get one when they had no business winning the game.
For Sh*ts and giggles you should check out how Francona is being grilled in Boston over not pinch hitting Olerud [...]

Yes, Uncle Joe is right, there was quite a bit of wind out there. The Flags were blowing straight in at one point. And I understand the point about Bernie not being aggressive when calling for balls with other players.
But, to Russ’ point, this guy has been in CF for a long, long [...]

I understand Joe’s post and I agree Bernie is not agressive by nature. The thing that confuses me is that Bernie has been the everyday CF since 1993, he knows he’s in charge out there as the CF. If he can get to the ball, he makes the play. I didn’t notice [...]

Two reasons why Bernie missed that ball. 1. The wind. 2. Bernie is not an agressive fielder. Anytime their is another fielder in close proximity to Bernie, he doesn’t go agressively after the ball. He did it again last night, even though he called off Matsui. It was a dumb [...]

Bernie may have made some bad plays this year, buy they were because he was stupid, not because he is a bad fielder (if that makes sense). I’ve seen him track down some balls and make some tough plays. He still gets a great jump. He may not be what he was, [...]
