Why the Red Sox Have Beaten the Yankees

By Adam ⋅ June 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’d prefer to title this “How the Yankees have had bad timing against Boston.” Yes, it’s well documented that the Yankees have lost all eight meetings so far against the Red Sox. But, I think we need a further examination as to why the Red Sox have won all eight games to see if we [...]

By KC ⋅ June 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim Wakefield entered Wednesday’s game against the Yankees tied for the team lead in wins with a 7-3 record, but has not pitched well as of late. In his previous three outings, Wake was 2-1 with 14 ER allowed in 17.1 innings pitched. Luckily, he was lined up to face Chien-Ming Wang, who sported a [...]

Ortiz Homers, Beckett Dominates Yankees

By KC ⋅ June 10, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

David Ortiz, mired in an awful season-long slump entered Tuesday night’s game against the Yankees on a modest six-game hitting streak. He extended his streak to seven games, but more importantly he hit his third HR of the season to the deepest part of the ballpark (straightaway center field). His blast gave the Sox all [...]

A Yankees fan seeking revenge for the burial of David Ortiz’s jersey under the new Yankee Stadium may have planted his own “curse.” Ian Ferris, 30, brought a commemorative sack of grass seed from Yankee Stadium to the Phish concert last week at Fenway Park.

The New Yankee Stadium Experience

By Adam ⋅ May 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Recently I had a chance to check out the new Yankee Stadium as I went to see the Yankees play the Orioles. Unfortunately, I did not arrive before the game due to the limited amount of time I had to check out the stadium. However, I was able to get a decent impression of the stadium, and saw enough [...]

A-Rod’s First Full Week Since Return

By Adam ⋅ May 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Alex Rodriguez returned last week after missing a little over a month of the season due to hip surgery. He hit a home run in his first plate appearance on the very first pitch and made Suzyn Waldman wax poetic like she had just seen Roger Clemens in George Steinbrenner’s box. And, yes, every Yankees [...]

Red Sox Finally Take Series From Rays, Close in on East Lead

By Mike ⋅ May 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Lately, it seems that any series involving the Yankees is sure to get the Red Sox on track. Coming off the miserable trip to Tampa Bay, where they dropped three of four, the Red Sox visited the new Yankee Stadium for the first time and left unblemished, sweeping the brief two-game set.
They split another two-gamer [...]

Sox Win 7-3, Improve to 5-0 Against Yankees

By KC ⋅ May 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

If the Tampa Bay Rays own the Red Sox, then I think it’s safe to say the Red Sox own the New York Yankees, no matter where they play. The Red Sox improved to 5-0 against the Bronx Bombers this season, including to 2-0 at the new Yankee Stadium, after a 7-3 win. Josh Beckett [...]

Joba Chamberlain Mom Arrested for Selling Meth

By KC ⋅ May 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

First, Joba Chamberlain was arrested for DUI during the off-season. Now, his mother, was recently arrested for selling meth to an undercover officer (a much more severe crime in my book). Jacqueline Standley, 44, was arrested Saturday at her Nebraska apartment on felony charges of selling a gram of methamphetamine to an undercover cop, said police [...]

Sox Victorious in First Game at New Yankee Stadium

By Pete ⋅ May 5, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Not even mother nature could keep the Sox-Yankees rivalry from starting a new chapter. A rain delay of over two hours chased away most of the crowd at Yankee Stadium, but those who left missed out on a real nail-biter that came down to the very last pitch.
Jon Lester tied a career high with 10 [...]

After the Red Sox ended their undefeated homestand, the Red Sox extended the win streak to 11 with a win in the opener in Cleveland, but the Indians snapped the streak in the second game.

UPDATE: When asked today to comment on the allegations, A-Rod said, “I’m not going there.”
According to the N.Y. Daily News, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs a lot more that for just a three-year period with the Texas Rangers. In the new book about the slugger due to be released in May, Selena Roberts [...]

Red Sox Sizzling After Slow Start

By Mike ⋅ April 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox began the season by dropping their first three series, including the one in Oakland to close out their first road trip. However, Tim Wakefield threw a complete game, and near no-hitter, in the final game of that trip which appeared to recharge the team and put them on what is now a 10-game [...]

More Home Runs at the new Yankee Stadium: So What?

By Adam ⋅ April 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s amazing how limited the press can make their own vision to generate a point of larger noise. The new Yankee stadium has been home to a solid amount of home runs for April and immediately the press is jumping to conclusions that it’s now this massive hitter’s park that will make Coors Field look [...]
