The Saturday Morning Megalinks

Ok, time for the megalinks. I’ve been procrastinating so these are very late, but better late than never. As usual the Weekend Viewing Picks are the Fang’s Bites at BSMW page. I have another edition of Follow Friday. There’s another anti-NBC post at Fang’s Bites. And if you didn’t read it yet, here’s my report on the [...]

Off Day Here, Too

I’m going to be taking a few days off around here, including today and Monday. Ken Fang (including tonight’s Viewing Picks) might be in and out with some things, but for the most part we’re going to guide you to the link dashboards to gather up your news. The Red Sox were off last night, and start [...]

Rasheed would be nice, but I'd rather have Ron Artest – hope the Cavs don't get him. He'd be a more talented version of James Posey. # Fascinating.

Improbable The New Probable in Sox Nation

If your team blows a big lead and you don’t see it, does it still sting? Not as much, says Cameron Martin, who slept soundly on Tuesday night while the Nation burned in Baltimore, going down after holding a nine-run lead. As for me, I woke repeatedly that night to our new cat scratching up [...]

Red Sox Have a Comeback of Their Own

Trailing 5-1 in the ninth inning, the Red Sox rallied for four runs in the frame, and then pushed across a run in the 11th inning to pull out a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles yesterday afternoon. That ends the nine game road trip with a 6-3 record. Amalie Benjamin has the Red Sox turning the [...]

Gammons, McDonough Lead in Columnists Poll

In a minor surprise, (at least to me) Peter Gammons and Will McDonough are currently the leaders in the All Time Boston Sports Columnists poll, which was posted on Monday. I had originally not planned on including either one, as they are mostly associated with a single sport, (Gammons on Baseball, McDonough on Football, though he [...]

Nightmare in Baltimore

Baltimore’s Edgar Allan Poe couldn’t have come up with a more fiendish nightmare than what the Red Sox bullpen went through last night. Entrusted with a 10-1 lead, the relief corps brought back memories of the early season 2003 Gasoline Alley Gang. All we needed was Bob Lobel sitting on the set of WBZ with [...]

Lester is Too Much For O’s

Jon Lester continued his career dominance of the Baltimore Orioles, pitching seven shutout innings last night to lead the Red Sox to a 4-0 win. Lester is now 8-0 lifetime against Baltimore. J.D. Drew keyed the offense from the leadoff spot with three hits, including a home run, and Jonathan Papelbon tied the Red Sox [...]
