How could the thrill be gone when our first baseman looks like this?

What year was this photo taken?



Just for shits and giggles...try to guess what year this photo was taken at Fenway Park. There is a larger version here.

Birds sing, knuckleballs dance (or something)


Photo by Flickr user gocarrt

Hey! We won in Toronto. The Red Sox took Tomo "I don't care about Matsuzaka" Okha deep three times and Tim Wakefield pitched another gem. Take a look at the number of runs that the Sox have allowed in the first thirteen games of the season--starting with Game 1 in Kansas City: (7, 1, 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, 3, 1, 0, 2, 2, 1). Impressive.

Today! Tavarez (0-1, 9.00) vs Halladay (2-0, 2.35) 12:37 pm ET / 9:37 am PT

It will be scrambled eggs, bacon and baseball* for those of us on the West Coast. Let's hope that the "reverse lock" theory** is in full effect.

* Possibly a couple of slices of whole wheat toast and a little bit of work too.
**Games that appear to be a lock for one team (Blue Jays/Halladay) often go the other way (Red Sox/Tavarez).

Happy Home Opener!


Photo by tollerSCREAM. Check out more of her wonderful photos here.

We've waited all winter, withstood snow and cold
Thru free agent signings for millions in gold.
"Play ball", "Batter up", the umpire will yell,
Peanuts and crackerjacks the vendors will sell.
Like Bogey has said with panache and glitz,
"A hot dog at the ballpark beats roast beef at the Ritz!"

Let's Go Sox!

Tonight, There will be Baseball

City of Palms Park
(Photo by Beauty Playin 'Eh - Check out her baseball photos here.)

Granted, it is an exhibition game, but tonight the blue seats at City of Palms Park will be full. When you turn on your television at 7:00, Don Orsillo's big happy head will be there to great you. At 7:05, there will be live baseball on NESN. It's officially time to fire up the rally wings and switch your robotic beer launching fridge to the "on" position. Here-we-go...!


Hat tip to Trivia Guy for the link to the fridge.

Sunday Reading

Batting Practice Balls
("Batting Practice Balls" photo by Flickr user Boston Fan in Michigan)

Here are five links for Sunday afternoon while we all try to recover from seeing Britney Spears bald:

"From Pearl Lagoon to Back Bay" [ESPN]
"From Cessna airplane to motorized canoe to Pearl Lagoon, the journey isn't for the weak." Amy K Nelson visits Red Sox pitcher, Devern Hansack, in his hometown in Nicaragua.

"Rule Changes" [Baseball Musings]
David Pinto breaks down the recently announced MLB rule changes.

"It will be fun rolling out Dice-K" [NY Newsday]
Ken Davidoff looks at "the Rivalry's newest wrinkle" -- and he doesn't believe in the gyro ball.

"Crap Sandwich" [Dan Shaughnessy Watch]
Thank the stars that "the Watch" reads Shaughnessy's drivel so that we don't have to.

"59Fifty Surgery" [Bugs & Cranks]
Bugs & Cranks offers step by step instructions on how to perform "surgery" on a new hat. (I usually just send mine through the dishwasher with a rubber band around it, but these instructions are better.)

A thought to warm our frigid fam and friends in Boston: There are only eight days and counting until pitchers and catchers report for spring training!

Photo of the Week


"Ted Williams Memorial" by Flickr user tollerSCREAM

We can't quite contain ourselves when we see an exceptional photo of Fenway Park (eeep!), so we troll Flickr.com to locate our favorite Red Sox related image every week.

This gem from the Ted Williams Memorial Ceremony in 2002 was taken by Flickr user, tollerSCREAM, who also has a ton of fantastic photos on her website, jmurrayphotography.com.
