Good lord, how could you overlook the trading of Nomar the Malcontent in 2004?

No matter what money you have, you can't buy success, you have to earn it. And so far this century, the Yankees haven't earned it.

At least the bathrooms were nearby -- and I didn't have to squeeze past people to leave my seat! It's always fun with the Sox, Howard and my girls.

You are absolutely right, the pitchers need to stay in longer and I think Derrick Loop should have finished the game. Although, Derrick is a left handed pitcher, not right handed.

looks like the Sox have given up on Rocco as well. Even against lefties he's not starting.

I admit I'm not a baseball fan (and living in Boston of all places). I read your archives last week though and enjoyed them. The same today. You do a nice job. I'm familiar enough with the game but you boil it down nicely so that I don't really need to, conveying what makes it enjoyable for the fan and the non-fan. Thanks.

The great thing is, 50 years later, this memory still makes you happy. Love those Sox!

Wow. Thank you for sharing that story! I don't think I had ever heard it. Definitely one for the Corday family history book! By the way, how old is Tito??? That can't be the same one can it?

Well done! I would say though Oki has exceeded my expectations. He seemed on a downward path last year but has been more reliable this year.

Well said Howard-
Missing Remdog more & more! Hope he takes all the time he needs and doesn't rush back this time, BUT, it seems like he's been away forever! It will be so great when he gets back and we have "our" voice back.

Just wanted to add an important name to your list of 1950's Senators - Roy Sievers. He was a huge fan favorite, and a mighty impressive power hitter. When they traded him away, lots of public support went with him.

Another outstanding analysis of baseball. It's too bad people who don't think the game is enough just don't go minigolfing or something.

Go Ellsbury!!!! He's awesome, but then again, the Sox in general are awesome. When Jason Bay and Youk hit those home runs on Friday, that set the tone for the season.

About the Yankees' vaunted new stadium, I believe the Tribe has spoken. When are these guys going to learn, you can't buy success, you have to earn it?

Happy Opening Day! :)

Ya Viera is a made up town its quite strange there are a few of those down here, i miss seeing games at fenway but i usually catch them in tampa for half the price, unfortunately that place is a dump, maybe the worst venue to watch a game.

It's interesting to think someday we'll be looking back and remembering that we knew Lester "when." He'll be a legend in the sweet by and by, if he keeps this up!
