Red Sox
This is a list of posts tagged with Red Sox.
Three new
I posted three new photos from the Braves and Sox game. These were taken from the upper box, about 6-8 rows up, on the first base line. Please go check them out and look at the large versions (I even linked them in photo descriptions).
If you like them, please leave me a comment here or there. I feel like no one looks at the photos, even with the cool new flickr slide show in the house. I know I haven’t posted many lately, but it is not worth the time it takes to post to flickr (with titles and descriptions) if you aren’t checking them out.
Anyway, give me some feedback!!! Good or bad, it doesn’t matter, as long as it is constructive. Is it that I post too many in a set? Should I trim out some fat? Believe me, I try, but I like that some can help tell the story, so sometimes you get a string. 🙂
Sox flickr photos
I finally put up some photos from the first Sox game I went to this year. I had a major time waste in doing this due to issues with the flickr uploadr and my Canon editing software. I’m right p!ssed.
Anyway, calm me down by taking a few minutes to check them out. They really suck.
Seriously. They suck compared to the ones that I took last weekend at the Braves game. Convince me to waste more time and share them.
BTW – You’d do well to look at a lot of the *distant* ones in a larger size.
UPDATED: Check out flickr’s awesome improved slideshow with this set. Use your F11 key to switch your browser to full screen mode (and back) before you click the link. Oh, and click the “i” in the middle of the photo when you start so you get my titles and descriptions.
Rockets red glare
I wanted to add this aside to my previous post on Clemen$ because this is the kind of stuff I like to read.
Jim Caple has a funny write-up of the speech Roger must have given to his mates on Page 2. It includes this great outtake:
“You shall fight in Boston and you shall fight in Baltimore. You shall fight special education teachers in the bullpen, you shall fight in front of the dugout with that punk Pedro Martinez. You shall fight in Florida, you shall fight in Canada and other foreign countries like Cleveland.”
Then you have Sports Guy Bill Simmons weighing in, as you knew he would, with a good list of 10 reasons I’m happy the Rocket signed with the Yankees. Jason already added #7 as his comment on my post, which was a good one of course, but I like the reader e-mail in #10 by John F. in Kansas: “This is historic … who ever heard of a rat jumping ON a sinking ship?”
Ballcapgate
This is funny and weird. I happened to click on Boston.com at the right time today to be presented with a photo of Tom Brady strolling the streets of NYC with his horse-faced girlfriend. It would seem the slow news day (???) has the guys at the Globe/web site looking to generate some buzz because he’s sporting a Yankee cap
Checking up on the count now, it looks like they are getting it too. I actually felt the need to comment because there were only a few lame ones when I got there. Sorry, but Papi wearing the cap for a commercial should generate more fan outrage than this…
D’oh, I should have said that! Not that anyone is probably reading the comments now anyway… but, check mine out at the bottom of page 2.
Four jacks
Juice sent a link out via e-mail tonight and I figured I’d post it — you need to read the full post to get the link — for the two of you probably not on his e-mail list. It is the new SportsCenter clip of David Ortiz and Jorge Posada. If it isn’t the first video in the player/list, look for it. It is entitled “Betrayal.” Wally’s reaction is priceless.
I almost wish I didn’t see this, because while funny and clever, it is a little disturbing. I mean, the thought that Papi thought it was okay to ever put on a Yankee cap, whether for fun or not, isn’t sitting well with me. Good thing for us he’ll never wear one where it counts.
Anyone else see the irony of a DH giving hat advice to a catcher? He’s the only other guy not wearing a hat full-time since he never sees the field (outside an interleague game).
For a little payback, I’d like to see Jason Giambi trying to give Jason Varitek advice on hats…... Continue reading »
Sox tix raffle
Registration is open for the annual raffle process for the opportunity to purchase Monstah, Right Field Roof, Opening Day and Yankee tickets. There’s some question as to whether the registration closes on Monday or Tuesday depending on if the e-mail I got or the reg page is the correct information.
If you win, remember who told you…
Not-so-evil empire
This is a comment meant for The Mayor of Man Town is a Chick on the Ed Zone, but it is masquerading as a post here on OB1og.
Why?
Well, just because I haven’t been very active here this month, for much the same reasons as Ed, and the comment was long enough to consider as a post in its own right. Maybe…
Jason had the same thought, so now there are twin comment threads on the Zone and BBn. I won’t drop this over there though.
What I really owe my six dear readers are the photos I took at the Pats/Jets playoff game a few weeks ago. I haven’t gotten around to slamming them into Flickr yet. I’ll do my best to get that done this weekend.
Anyway, on to what I was going to drop as a comment:
As Bill Simmons aptly put it in When did hate tak... Continue reading »
Summer Shudder
Well, the title of this post should have been the title of the previous post, but I just wasn’t paying close enough attention. A lot of the time I try to come up with clever titles that play on words and stuff like that and I am sure I am not in the minority there. Look no further than Ed as he consistently comes up with great title posts. Then you have Jason, who usually has me running straight for dictionary.com.
However, when I’m not feeling clever, I try to find a song title that fits my posting topic in some way. Well, I got stuck on Consumed Summer because I was going to write about stuff... Continue reading »
Kennedy Costume Races
Over on ESPN’s Page 2, Jim Caple says we need more costume races in MLB and he has ideas for everyone.
For the hometown team:
Boston. Kennedy Races. “JFK, RFK and Jackie O are neck and neck, but oh, no — it looks like Teddy took another wrong turn at the bridge.”

Clemen$
RO-GER, RO-GER, RO-GER!
Can you hear it now?
I had been formulating a post in my brain since the minute I heard the news of Roger Clemens going back to the Yankees, but I didn’t have time to pump it out.
Then, Ed beat me to the punch last night, so I was content to simply post a comment there. But, as I started writing, I realized there was no way I could express this as a comment, so I had to bang out this. I had to add a post to the Clemens fire in the Blogosphere.
I was listening to the Sox game on Sunday afternoon when Castiglione, or that new clown — not Dave O’Brien, the other guy — announced the Rocket made an appearance on the Yankee Stadium jumbotron. Ed and I had just taken in Spider-Man 3 and were headed back to his house for some beer and burgers, so when we stopped at a packy to pick up the beer we had a quick chat as we peeped our choice of brew.
We were traveling separately, so when I got out, the... Continue reading »
