People Are Reaching a Bit


Last night their just so happened to be a Lunar Eclipse in Massachusetts, so of course someone in Massachusetts had to remember that there was a Lunar Eclipse the last time the Red Sox won the World Series and therefore it's a good omen.

"The last time there was a mix of a lunar eclipse and a baseball game it worked out really well for the Red Sox," Binzel said. "We'll see if the magic can repeat itself."

How about the omen that is good is the fact that the Yanks have lost 5 of their last 7 games and are coming off a pummeling at the hands of the Tigers.

As a Red Sox fan, I hate this whole Red Sox Nation movement where if you are from upper New England or lived in Massachusetts for atleast a day in your life that you have to be this rabid Red Sox fan (ex. Conidi & friends). The worst part is that these "die hard" fans (ex. Conidi & friends)dont even know a thing about baseball or the Red Sox and most of them dont even watch games on a regular basis. I bet half of them don't even know what a box score is, nevermind know how to read one.

They went to college and all of a sudden it was cool to wear a Red Sox hat so they ran out to get one. Then the Red Sox started making these plastic cards to put in your wallet and sell them for $19.95 a piece so you can wip out this card and prove how loyal of a fan you are. "Hey look at me I am the most fantic Red Sox fan in the world. Look here is my card proving it." No you're not. Your just a dumb douchebag that wasted $20 on a card. These cards should say World's Biggest Douche on them instead.

Yankees don't suck, Red Sox Nation sucks.

Can you actually use the cards for anything?

Yea. 10% off at the Red Sox online store and a bumper sticker. Plus something I guess that not even the Red Sox Marketing Team can put a price on, getting laid by Red Sox Nation groupies.

No card, no sex.

I guess you can call me the World's Biggest Douche. Last year I bought it becuase it was $10 and ended up allowing me to buy Green Monster SRO tickets which ended up being a Ortiz walkoff game vs Texas. This year I payed the $100 for it that came with 2 free tickets which i ended up selling or $115. You also get a free tour of the park which i havent used. The most important thing for me is you get the RSN message board which I go to every once in a while because people post when the ticket office releases more tickets to a game. I have gone to 3 Sox/Yankee games this year because I have seen someone say they have dropped tickets and immediately called or checked online to get them.

on another note this "president" of red sox nation is a load of horseshit.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
