Will the Yankees Make the Playoffs?

What are you talking about? You must be kidding me. We know the team is going to go 24-2 in the last month of the season. Cano’s going to hit .700, Pavano’s going to start 20 games during the month and win 19 of them (and then explode in the 20th, we all know he’s [...]

View from the Monster 7-14

By Mike ⋅ July 14, 2008 ⋅ One comment

As the Red Sox hit the break, all is right with the Nation once again. The Sox had a great 5-1 week (3-0 versus Minnesota and 2-1 against Baltimore), which coupled with the Rays 0-7 week, turned the 5.5 game deficit into a half-game lead. As quickly as the Sox dropped back, they [...]

The Red Sox struggled to score seven runs in the first two games of the early-July series against the Minnesota Twins. They did win both games however.

View from the Monster 5-5

By Mike ⋅ May 5, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox got back on track this week by taking two-of-three from the Blue Jays in three great pitcher’s duels, all despite scoring a meager three runs. They also took care of business in sweeping the Rays pretty convincingly. I expected a tough stretch as the opposition was a pair of hungry young [...]
