Last Sunday's Sox-Pats double-implosion has put everyone in a tizzy all week, and the media looking for clever ways to introduce 'Black Sunday' into Hub lexicon. Bleacher Report attributes the phrase to Gary Tanguay even as they insist all hope is not lost. Now, after several days of reflection, Tanguay appears to have found a … Continue reading Week Log: Silver Lining To Black Sunday

Week Log: A Heavy Dose of Reality
Not that it ever crept too close to shore anyway, but the 2009 A.L.

Better Red Than Dead counts Kansas City among the cities in which Boston … Continue reading Week Log: A Heavy Dose of Reality
Week Log: One Good Turn Deserves Another
It's been a week of comebacks, as the Patriots turned an 11-point deficit into a one-point victory in the final 2:06 on Monday and the Red Sox followed with three hits, two walks, and two runs - all with two outs in the ninth - to win last night.

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

However, there's been too much damage to mend in one brief homestand and Texas looms. Fire Brand of the American League sees a … Continue reading Week Log and Brady Are Back, Sox Jury Still Out
The China Syndrome, Boston Edition
Lately, the Nation goes to bed each night another game worse in the division. Each morning, we rise to a lineup that can't hit good pitchers or bad; starters who can't bring it to another level to carry the anemic bats; opponents who run wild on the bases; and the expectation of dropping another game … Continue reading The China Syndrome, Boston Edition
