Beckett Horrible in Sox Extra-Inning Loss
The Red Sox offense exploded for four home runs in Game 2, and most of the time it’s good enough for a win. Well, that’s unless you have the 2008 version of Josh Beckett on the hill to start the game, and the 2008 version of Mike Timlin to close it out.
Josh Beckett absolutely laid [...]
Dice-K Nearly Unhittable in Game 1 Win
Daisuke Matsuzaka had many doubters coming into Game 1 of the ALCS. Many questioned his ability to go deep into the game due to his erratic control and usual high pitch counts. He answered those questions in a big way Friday night, taking a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in a 2-0 Red Sox [...]
Celtics Surviving Rough Economy Just Fine
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll discuss how the rough U.S. economy is affecting the Celtics, Tony Allen’s offseason saga, Ray Allen’s renewed focus, and I’ll take a look at how the Celtics fared against the 76ers on Wednesday night.
1. The 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 98-92 in the opening game of the [...]
Tim McCarver: Manny’s Actions in Boston Were “Despicable”
I know Tim McCarver isn’t the most reliable source. He once said during a FOX broadcast of the 2004 ALCS that Brandon Arroyo AND Pedro Martinez would start in Game 2 of that series. Yes, there are many things wrong with that statement…but moving on, McCarver said Wednesday that Manny Ramirez’s final months in Boston [...]
John Lackey Says Angels Are the Better Team
It’s understandable that John Lackey was disappointed after losing to the Red Sox again in the ALDS. It’s also understandable that Lackey is angry…but this angry and unreasonable? Are the Angels really better than the Red Sox? How could that be possible after losing the Division Series 3-1? Well…Lackey said it:
“We lost to a team [...]
Angels Force Game 4 After Extra-Inning Win
Mike Napoli launched two home runs off an ineffective Josh Beckett, and the Angels outlasted the Red Sox 5-4 in 12 innings. Napoli finished 3-5 with those two HRs, three RBI, and three runs scored, including the game-winning run in the 12th on an Erick Aybar single.
Beckett was hit hard and hit often, lasting only [...]
Manny Homers Again, Dodgers Take 2-0 Lead
It seems as if Manny Ramirez is trying to prove something in the 2008 NLDS, after hitting his second home run in as many games to help the Dodgers take a commanding 2-0 series lead. The Dodgers were helped by a home run from Ramirez, a three-run double from Russell Martin, and a shaky defense [...]
Celtics Hold Practice, Focus Set to 2008-09
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at the progress of Darius Miles, the Tim Donaghy referee scandal supposedly coming to a close, what the Celtics will do if Kendrick Perkins has to sit down with an injury, and Ray Allen’s battle against his son’s rare illness.
1. The Celtics officially have [...]
Jason Bay Powers Red Sox in Game 1 Win
The Red Sox were down 1-0 and Angels ace John Lackey was on the hill. Lackey hasn’t had tremendous success against the Red Sox, especially in the playoffs, but this season and game seemed different. With two outs in the sixth inning, everything changed on one swing of the bat.
Jason Bay provided the heroics for [...]
ALDS Game 1: J.D. Drew to Play
After a workout Tuesday, J.D. Drew declared himself 100% ready to play in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels Wednesday night. Drew has been suffering from a bulging disc in his back, and played only two games in all of September.
Mike Lowell, meanwhile, is still 50-50 to start at third base for the Red [...]
2008 Major League Baseball Awards
With the MLB regular season just about to end and the playoffs fast approaching, the “experts” at Sports of Boston submitted their picks for who should win the top individual honors for the season.
SoB’s Pete gives his case for Ryan Howard as the NL MVP: “He is the reason the Phillies are in the playoffs. [...]
Mike Lowell Hurt Yet Again
Mike Lowell, back for the first time since Sept. 16, re-aggravated his hip injury in Friday night’s ugly, rain-delayed 19-8 loss to the Yankees. Lowell will probably not play Saturday, and his availability for the ALDS against the Angels is now in question (Game 1 is on Wednesday).
Lowell checked his swing in his first at [...]
Rain Delays Johnny Pesky Ceremony
The Red Sox have announced that the threat of rain Friday and Saturday has delayed the plan to retire Johnny Pesky’s #6 until Sunday.
The Sox initially planned to hold the ceremony an hour before gametime on Saturday at around 3 p.m., which also happens to be Pesky’s 89th birthday. But, because of a coastal storm [...]
TGIF: The NFL Quarterback-up Club
No, I’m not referring to Acclaim’s classic NFL video game series, NFL Quarterback Club. I’m reffering to an elite club of NFL players that rarely see the field. They are the five best backup quarterbacks in the NFL: players you usually want to never see because your team’s starter is a better player and leader. [...]
The NBA 2K9 Blessing
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at whether being on the cover of NBA 2K9 (like Kevin Garnett is this year) is a blessing or a curse. I’ll run down four players who have appeared on the cover in the past.
Not the Madden Curse, But the NBA 2K9 Blessing
Don’t follow? [...]
