First off two very important things to get out there.
Thank you to every man and woman serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. I thank God every day we live in a country founded on the principles and ethics that allow men and women like these people to live and WANT to serve here.
Second, [...]
Some of these questions are obviously from earlier posts. I’ll catch up if time permits this week.
Q-Who do you think is a better closer at this point, Papelbon or Rivera?
A-Not a question that can be answered with anything but opinion really. Mariano is, in my opinion the best closer of all time. His resume better be [...]

Before talking about the game I’d like to make people in Boston aware of an event that’s coming up next week to benefit ALS.
The annual 100 innings for ALS marathon game is being played on May 26th and 27th at Adams Field in Quincy, Mass. Check out www.100innings.com for details on how to get involved. [...]

A good ending to a real good day. Julian, Oki, and Paps were phenomenal in game 1 and with Erik Hinske in the field and at the plate, combined with yet another stellar performance by the pen, we do the improbable and sweep a double header. I still think it’s one of the hardest things [...]

Great day to pitch today. Great weather, sold out park and a 13 run outburst should always add up to great days at home. Problem is that as the starting pitcher you need to actually be IN The game when your team scores the runs to get credit for the win, or not crap away [...]

Everyone has days and events in life they’d love to push the rewind button on, yesterday was one of those days. Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I [...]

I am not sure how people can misconstrue things as badly as they do, but it’s being done. If you read any of the sports writers with integrity, the guys that printed the ENTIRE quote I gave last night, I thought it was clear. Roger Clemens coming to Boston was something none of us in [...]

Win some lose some. Tough loss and a rare one in the way we lost it. As much as you’d like to think that because things are lined up how you want them to be, it should all work out, sometimes it doesn’t.
Our bullpen was the key reason we ended April with the best record [...]

Busy morning at 38 Studios and Todd McFarlane’s in town visiting so I will post about tonights game at some point tomorrow. Needless to say the game was a bummer. I’ll take Paps in that situation 30 more times this year and like our chances.
