Boys Will Be Boys
Last night, there were two of us. Two grown men, both in our late 40's, hanging out to watch a game. We watched, and watched, and watched some more. Then more than 4 hours after we started watching the pre-game coverage, an eruption. Continue Reading...
A Month and the Sox
April 14, 2016 - My Dad was taken home by his Lord and Saviour. There are bunches of my words and stories that you can read if you so wish, regarding my Dad's death found in the following links. Dad. The Man is Gone. A Dad and This Boy. I miss him. May 14, 2016 - We took the twins and their older brothers to Fenway Park to see the Red Sox play.

Dos Gerentes
I don’t always place much blame on baseball managers, but when I do, it’s usually for a really good reason. 2013 – World Champions 2012 – Last place in the division Continue Reading...
The Red Sox have Boston singing in the streets
Unlike the at bats of a Red Sox hitter, I will keep this short and sweet. But then, I may just foul off a few pitches, lay off a tough pitch just outside the zone, and work the faithful into a frenzy with a timely hit.

This spurred some thoughts and my own written reaction. Which is also Continue Reading...
Dressed for the Sox
Who found who

Sox-Go-Round
I am not sure this piece needs to be any longer than the title. I just wanted to share a few thoughts as a life long Red Sox fan who knows a lot less about them than many of you. First, as the list of accomplishments were read, listed, or discussed as Terry Francona was shunned from the organization, it was apparent to me that this guy won in Boston despite the ownership group. Francona and Bill Continue Reading...
