How do you spell “ugh”?
Well, at least Mikey hit a home run!Not much positive to write about last night’s suckfest. I’m getting tired of writing "well at least the Yankees and the Orioles lost". (Well, not really…:-D)
Roy Halladay was Roy Halladay and Julian Tavarez was…not.
Two in Baltimore, three in New York. Let’s get back on track boys.
ARod’s streak…she is over. What’s the over/under on the first time he gets booed again in Yankee Stadium?
Interesting note courtesy of the Boston Herald. The Baseball Hall of Fame asked Jason Varitek for the bat he used to hit that fourth home run Sunday night and he agreed. Very, very cool.
Well, it could have been more, but at least there is some space between the Sox and the Yanks right now. I’m hoping by Friday it is a bit more! That would be a nice way to go into the weekend series.
Excellent editing skills, folks(Editorial note. For what isn’t the first time – going by a Google search – in the byline of the article I referenced, the Boston Herald spelled Jeff Horrigan’s name "Horrgan". Is it that difficult to spell the name of a regular contributor to your paper?)
Jon Lester pitches for Pawtucket tonight and then again next Tuesday. I just can’t wait for him to be back at Fenway! Whether it is with a ticket I already have, or one I have to buy on one of ‘those’ web sites…I WILL be there when he makes his Fenway starting debut of the year!
One note not related to baseball…today the Red Sox Hen and my dad have been married 42 years. Pretty damned impressive if you ask me. Happy Anniversary mom and dad, I love you! Here’s hoping Schilling wins one for you both!

Great blog! I’m taking one series at a time myself – considering the Sawx haven’t looked great recently against Baltimore and (god only knows how this happened) the Orioles are actually playing decent ball right now, I’m just hoping they win this series. I’ll worry about what’s happening at the Stadium this weekend.BTW – can’t wait for Lester to get back myself. Particularly in light of the way Tavarez has been pitching.
It’s weird. The Sox played the Yankees this weekend like it was the playoffs. Then the next two games they looked like absolute clowns. I wouldn’t have said this a week ago, but, I hope Coco is in the line-up today.
Perhaps the misspelling of the reporter’s name is because there used to be another sportswriter, quite a while back, named Tim Horgan. Not that the misspelling matches that exactly, either, but perhaps the typesetter is just splitting the difference
Happy Anniversary to RedSoxHen and MrRedSoxHen!!Cyn, I keep checking the Lester Watch page for an update on his minor league starts. I thought he was starting yesterday for the PawSox. I WANT HIM BACK IN BOSTON !!!
Happy Anniversary Red Sox Hen and Hubby!!! My parents are over their 60th mark!
My parents just celebrated their 50th on 4/7 !!
Happy anniversary to RedSoxHen and RedSoxRooster:)It really would be great to be at Fenway for Lester’s hopefully triumphant homecoming.
Happy Belated Anniversary Mama and Papa Red Sox Chick. That is quite an accomplishment to be married for 42 years!
