And Now For Something Really Important

by: RealNRH

Wed May 27, 2009 at 22:48:40 PM EDT

Please consider this an open thread, if only so that my rambling far off-topic is more easily glossed over.

Has anyone else noticed an odd trend to Red Sox pitching this year - and particularly Jon Lester? Specifically, I'm referring to a tendency to breeze through most of the game with a fair degree of dominance, but have just that one bad inning where the other team gets a bunch of runs. I noticed it yesterday, when he'd been looking great, then all of the sudden gave up the ballgame. So I grabbed his game logs and stuck them in a spreadsheet. Sure enough, it's that fifth inning that's really been his killer...

A Pessimist's Red Sox Predictions

by: JimC

Mon Apr 06, 2009 at 11:49:51 AM EDT

(Dedicated to Laura Clawson.)

- A second place finish for the Sox in the AL East; call it 50-50 on the wild card.

- David Ortiz hits about .225 with few home runs is booed by August 1.

- Jason Varitek hits about .210 and is booed by June 1.

- Smoltz starts too soon, gets rocked a couple of times, and doesn't recover until late in the season.

- A cornerstone player -- Pedroia, Papelbon, maybe Ortiz or Beckett -- comes up hurt badly, within the first month.

BUT:

If they make the playoffs, they go all the way.

Am I wrong? Fine, I'd love to hear it. Somebody tell me.

Green Monster Tickets - Need a reason to help Jeanne - this could be it

by: newhampster

Thu Jul 10, 2008 at 13:26:46 PM EDT

(Good to see Jeanne Shaheen going strong with fundraising, and especially focusing on small donors - promoted by Laura Clawson)

If ever you needed a good reason to donate to the campaign, I think 2 seats on the Green Monster are a pretty good tickler.  Now I could hope that I'm the only one donating thus increasing my odds of winning but my real goal is to increase the odds of my being able to shake the hand of Senator Shaheen.

Green has long been a theme of this campaign. Our campaign color is green. Our logo is green. Governor Shaheen often speaks about the need for 21st Century green jobs and a new energy policy. Now, we have a new addition to Green for Shaheen: The Green Monster.

Next Saturday, July 19th, we're going to choose one lucky winner to receive two prime seats on the Green Monster to watch the Red Sox play the Yankees at Fenway Park on Friday, July 25th.

A contribution of $25 automatically enters you into a drawing for the tickets. Each additional $25 you contribute will earn one additional entry. For example, $75 is equivalent to three entries. The contest ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, July 18th.

Go here to donate and enter the raffle.  Enter early and often.

Pitchers, Catchers and Buses

by: Kathy Sullivan 2

Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 15:34:36 PM EST

Pitchers and catchers report this week, and, in other baseball news, a pitcher throws his wife under the bus - from the wires:

Pettitte said in the affidavit that he asked Clemens in 2005 what he would do if asked about performance-enhancing substances, given his admission years earlier. According to the account told to the AP, the affidavit said Clemens responded by saying Pettitte misunderstood the previous exchange in 1999 or 2000 and that, in fact, Clemens had been talking about HGH use by his wife in the original conversation.
