After a mysterious “illness” it was finally revealed that Heidi Watney (WikiPedia) was down for the count with a concussion but will return to her duties with the gang at NESN. Here’s an article at The Herald to explain. The article doesn’t give many details but does seem to suggest that the injury was sustained doing something “Stooge-like”. I can relate. She says she’s anxious to get back to work and who can blame her? When you “work” at live Red Sox games, it’s not hard to like what... Read Full Story

Normally anytime you can take 2 out of 3 games in a series would be considered a victory. Let’s face it – the lowly O’s, who had come into Sunday’s game winning only 2 of their first 18 games are ripe for picking. Anything less than a sweep of these cellar dwellers is a fail in my book. The Sox of late have been showing what they’re capable of but as I mentioned in a previous post, this doesn’t mean that they’re back on track. Apparently far from it. They’re still struggling with...

For two nights in a row the Red Sox have turned their lackluster play into nail-biting excitement. They seemed to come off their Wednesday night win with some momentum and were quick to show off their new found enthusiasm. With Mike Lowell homering in the bottom of the first to chip away at a (temporary) Ranger lead and J. D. Drew doing the same – only with the bases loaded in the bottom 3rd – the Sox looked to be back on the road to playing better baseball. They were enjoying a 7-4 lead by... Read Full Story

It started out ominously – much like many of the last few games the Sox have played… and then went downhill quickly. At least that’s the way the Rangers looked on the basepaths. Steals, double steals, not even an attempt to throw out the offending runner at times. In all the Rangers swiped 9 bases in total. It did look bad – so much so that I couldn’t watch. I went out back to get some work done and listened on the radio. Once they tied it in the bottom of the eighth on a two run blast... Read Full Story

Seems like everytime Garza takes the mound against the Sox, he wins. Just once I’d like to see them get to him early, gain a comfortable 4 or 5 run lead before he has a chance to settle into the game. The problem is, the way they’ve been playing, even a 5 run lead wouldn’t guarantee a win. Look at Fri/Sat’s suspended game. Bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom of the 11th. It should have been a foregone conclusion that somebody could have gotten a ball deep enough to score a run. What... Read Full Story

With winter coming, it really reminded me of how many animals are going to be suffering in the cold. It has always bothered me to see animals suffer, exspecailly when someone could be helping them.

If the first four games are any indication, the Red Sox are going to have a tough time of it early in the ‘10 campaign. With the lineup shuffled around, the bullpen tanking and Ortiz once again mired in an early slump the Sox are struggling to find their footing. The good news is it’s early and there are bright spots. The new aquisitions – Beltre and Scutaro seem to have the left side of the infield anchored down well enough and there’s even more speed in the outfield with the addition... Read Full Story

Lengend asked: I have a 12 year old son. He plans to play baseball for a league higher than he is supposed to be in. What are some exercises (push ups, sit ups, etc.) people do to train their body for baseball. He also wants to get muscles like Terrell Owens (NFL- Cowboys). Thanks for your help!!!
