Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 21

By Pete ⋅ August 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re heading into the final stretch of the fantasy regular season. Where do you stand? Ouch, those crickets I hear can’t be a good sign. I may have just finished my first fantasy football draft of the year just yesterday, but I am still fully focused on baseball. I am just on the cusp of [...]

UFC Makes Lackluster Debut in Boston

By Pete ⋅ August 29, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With the rising popularity of MMA, it is great to see states that once dismissed mixed martial arts as nothing more than barbaric bloodshed are now opening their doors to one of this country’s biggest draws in the world of sports.
The city of Boston had never held a UFC event due to a lack of regulation in Massachusetts. Earlier [...]

By Pete ⋅ August 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There will be no “Welcome Back” ceremony for our beloved centerfielder in 2010 as Detroit outfielder Johnny Damon has decided not to return to Boston.

In the final weeks of the season, I feel like mixing things up around here. So, for the one kajillionth time (yeah, it’s a number, trust me), I am adopting a new format to my wrap-up. Some live by the motto of “if it aint broke, don’t fix it”. Yeah, I think Shakespeare said it best [...]

By Pete ⋅ August 20, 2010 ⋅ One comment

As I write this, I can hear the collective groan of Red Sox Nation. Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia is going back on the 15-day disabled list with the same foot injury that sidelined him for all of July. Pedroia has played in only two games since his return, going just 1 for 7.
Pedroia was [...]

Kevin Youkilis Placed on Disabled List

By Pete ⋅ August 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the baseball gods throw us another curveball.
Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday afternoon with a muscle tear in his right thumb. Initially, the injury was thought to be just a sprain, but after Youkilis visited a specialist on Tuesday [...]

As the second half of the season begins, it is time to look back at the first half and see what has happened. Stephen Strasburg’s debut was everything it was hyped up to be and more as he fanned 14 Pirates, young guns like Ubaldo Jimenez and David Price came into their own, and Albert [...]

By Pete ⋅ July 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After a blowout victory on Friday night, the Sox offense couldn’t put on the same offensive showcase for Saturday’s game as they dropped the second game of the series to Toronto by a score of 9-5.
Toronto slugger Jose Bautista continued his career year by blasting his league-leading 24th home run and teammate Adam Lind added his 12th [...]
