Remembering Tony Conigliaro the Sportscaster
This is a guest post from Michael Passanisi. Forty-five years ago this spring, a 19-year old kid from Swampscott made it fun to be a Sox fan again, at least for a few years. Most fans remember that Tony C has passed away, but how many remember his up-and-down broadcast career and the terrible effects of … Continue reading Remembering Tony Conigliaro the Sportscaster

Will The A.L. East Soon Be Out Of Reach?
The Rays are in Wait 'Til Last Year mode, the Jays have come back to earth, and the O's as usual are six feet under the earth. Looks like another Red Sox vs. Yanks dogfight for the East, as both are in a virtual tie going into action this afternoon. Not so bad for a … Continue reading Will The A.L. East Soon Be Out Of Reach?
Sox Out In The Wild
The Red Sox uncorked a modern record tying six wild pitches last night, but ultimately it wasn't the reason for their 4-2 loss to the Twins, giving up 13 hits and five walks was probably more responsible. Amalie Benjamin has a look at the wild night behind the plate for George Kottaras, who at times had … Continue reading Sox Out In The Wild

Lester Falters Again in Loss to Twins
So maybe Jon Lester should be the one moved to the bullpen when John Smoltz or Clay Buchholz are deemed ready to move into the rotation. OK, that's probably not going to happen, but Lester, who had been the ace of the Red Sox staff last year, has struggled mightily in 2009. His woes continues … Continue reading Lester Falters Again in Loss to Twins
