In a trade that certainly shocked everyone in the NFL, the Patriots announced they traded defensive lineman Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for a 1st round draft pick in 2011. Mike Reiss in one of his last duties for the Boston Globe writes that Seymour's salary now comes off the Pats' cap. Ian R. … Continue reading Seymour Traded to Oakland
A Friday Night Megalink Thing
Ok, after a two week layoff, we bring back the megalinks. Of course, we give you the Weekend Viewing Picks first. The Red Sox hope to get closer to the Wild Card and try to shake off Friday's disastrous 12-2 loss to the White Sox. Saturday's game is on Fox 25 and Fox 64 at … Continue reading A Friday Night Megalink Thing
Good Riddance to the Trop
Back again to wrap up the week as Bruce continues his R&R weekend. Heading into last night, there were only two certainties in life - the Sox can't beat the Yankees in August (3-15 since winning their first World Series in 86 years), and the Sox can't win at Tropicana Field (3-15 since late 2007). … Continue reading Good Riddance to the Trop

Beach and I had been in contact about this project for about … Continue reading Book Review – Fighting Words
Wild Card Tightens

Red Sox On to the diamond, where a Josh Beckett outing can be like a box of … Continue reading Wild Card Tightens
Michael Gee on Handling Criticism
I'm pleased to present a second guest post from Michael Gee, former Boston Herald sports columnist. The only thing writers knows about their work before they start is that when it’s finished, someone won’t like it. There has never been and never will be fiction or nonfiction created by human beings that won’t be intensely … Continue reading Michael Gee on Handling Criticism
Sox Nail It Down Against Rays
The Red Sox recent struggles at the Tropicana Dome are well documented. With the Rays right at the outside edge of the wild card race, the Red Sox needed to strike early last night and put the heat on. Jonathan Papelbon was called upon to get six outs last night as Hideki Okajima struggled to … Continue reading Sox Nail It Down Against Rays

Congratulations, Tedy
It was a retirement ceremony quite unlike any we've seen before. In a twist of irony, it was was the head coach who was choked up and seemed to be having trouble finding the right words, while the retiring player was upbeat and positive, and asking all to consider yesterday a celebration, and gladly accepting … Continue reading Congratulations, Tedy
