SWEEP!

April 28, 2009

Three games, three wins. A blown Mariano Rivera save. A Varitek grandslam. A Jacoby Ellsbury steal of home. A 6-0 lead coughed up by the high-priced staff ace. Jeter striking out in the clutch. Could any Sox fan possibly ask for any more fun in a single weekend? Thanks Yankees. Please come again.

Sox win a classic for the Haters

April 25, 2009

Feels like old times. Back in 2004, Sox third baseman Bill Mueller capped off the infamous Varitek/A-Rod brawlgame by sending a Mariano Rivera pitch into the bullpen for the game winning HR. Friday night’s game game had a touch of that old Sox/Yanks edginess, as David Ortiz had criticized the inside pitching (head hunting?) of [...]

How we failed Curt Schilling

March 24, 2009

There are not many people who can quickly move a million dollars of product, just by wearing something in public. Curt Schilling can. Or, at least, he could have. But we failed him. Back in the spring of 2004, Schilling was Boston’s big man about town. Still smarting from the painful loss to the Yankees [...]

Here’s to a speedy recovery for Aaron %$&*@#$ Boone

March 19, 2009

No player, with the possible exception of Bucky Dent, caused as much pain for Red Sox fans as did Aaron Boone. Then a member of the Yankees, Boone hit a game-winning HR off Boston’s Tim Wakefield in the seventh game of the 2003 ALCS. Aaron $%#@!&* Boone is literally the reason that this website exists. [...]

Why MLB is the new World Wrestling Federation

February 23, 2009

I fondly remember the old days of the World Wrestling Federation. You knew everything was fake–including the physiques–but no one cared. The characters were charismatic, the story lines were laughable yet engaging, and the wrestlers were admired for their unrelenting drive to entertain. In short, the wrestlers would stop at nothing. And the crowd ate [...]

The Curse of the Sabathia Contract

November 23, 2008

A new stadium. A massive contract for CC Sabathia. The Bronx seems to have its own economy, one in which money grows on trees and extreme spending is a neighborhood pickup sport. But just wait until April. With Yankees’ tickets becoming as expensive as football tickets, fans will not tolerate very much in the way [...]

September 24, 2008

Yankees were cast from the playoff race on Tuesday, which was good news for travel site, Expedia. “Yeah, a few of them have logged in in order to book October trips,” said a website rep. “They want to go to far away places and be anonymous.

The Yankees’ deadly profit center

July 23, 2008

The Yankees confiscated suntan lotion at Yankee Stadium over the weekend, forcing fans to bake in 96-degree heat with no protection against dangerous UV rays. The reason for this decision: concern for the fans safety. The Yanks either missed or ignored this statistic: there are 1 million new cases of skin cancer reported each year. [...]

Yankee fans take the All-Star game for themselves

July 16, 2008

BRONX, NY — Hey, we understand the Sox/Yanks rivalry and the catcalls, boos and insults that go along with it. But the All-Star game didn’t belong to the Yankee fans just because it was played in Yankee Stadium. Simply put, they should have left the boos at home. But they didn’t. Papelbon was booed lustily.

June 17, 2008

Mike Mussina, who sees a villain and an excuse around every corner, now says that running bases is the newest form of evil in the big leagues. Mussina’s teammate, Chien-Ming Wang, partially tore a tendon in his right foot on Sunday in a 13-0 win over interleague rival Houston. The injury, sustained as Wang was [...]
