| Top 10 Sox Moments in The Bronx | | 2008-08-26 09:46:00 | | As the whole world knows by now, this three-game series the Red Sox are playing against the Yankees in the Bronx starting tonight will mark the final time they will play in the second Yankee Stadium. That is, unless they meet in a one-game playoff or the ALCS, both of which seem rather unlikely. (And always remember, the original stadium, the one that Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle played in, is long gone, having had a date with the wrecker's ball in 1973.)Of course, every writer has to put their "top 10 moments" list together, especially when it concerns the Red Sox. I'm no different, so here's my Top 10:Screw it, all 10 occurred at the same time, shortly after midnight, October 21, 2004. The Red Sox get even for 1949, 1978, 1999 and 2003, all at the same time, and humiliate their longtime rivals before a houseful of obnoxious Yankee supporters, and for all the world to see.I like keeping it nice and simple.UPDATE: I just posted a column over at Bornintoit.com called "My Favorite S | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |

| Heading to the Bronx | | 2008-07-07 00:45:00 | | Lou Piniella will have plenty of familiar faces making the journey with him next week from Chicago to New York for the 79th Annual All-Star Game....and in case you forgot, this one counts. The Cubs will have seven representatives in the Midsummer Classic, along with their manager. Clint Hurdle replaced Willie Randolph with Lou Piniella a short time back and the Cubs will have more players on the National League roster than any team in the league. The Red Sox will have seven players on the American League roster as well.
The Chicago National League Ball Club will send seven players to the game for the first time in the organization's history. The Cubs sent six players in 1988 and in 1936. Geovany Soto will make a little history of his own. Soto will be the first rookie catcher to start for the NL and only the second in the long history of the game for either league. The fans also voted in Kosuke Fukudome and Alfonso Soriano, while Clint Hurdle selected Carlos Zambrano to join the staff | | By: Chicago Cubs Online | | |

Say what you will about Josh Lewin’s occasional detours down the path of annoyance in the Texas Rangers’ television booth, but the man knows how to call a great finish. Wow.

| | More About That Team from the Bronx | | 2007-10-16 00:19:25 | | IGN Sports' Dan Phillips has come up with a list of recommendations for the Yankees as they try to "right" the 94-win ship, with the premise that "The Yanks should wave goodbye to sentimentality." I can't argue with two of them, ("Let Joe Torre Walk" and "Sign A-Rod") but the other two represent the opposite of good advice:2) Let Jorge Posada WalkPosada is coming off the best season by an aging catcher in baseball history, which is precisely why the Yankees should let some other team get suckered into paying him the big bucks. Aging catchers inevitably break down into mere shells of their former selves, and what's worse, they do it suddenly and without warning. Do you really want to fork over a three-year, 45 million-dollar contract to Posada on the assumption that he'll defy one of the few universal truths in baseball and produce offensively well into his late thirties? Just ask Red Sox fans how that worked out with Jason Varitek. Just one year after signing their oft-injured star | | By: Between the Lines | | |
| | How big real estate firms, often from abroad, are buying up apartment buildings in the Bronx | | 2007-07-19 23:55:00 | | WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez has a piece today on how big real estate firms, often from abroad, are buying up apartment buildings in the Bronx and Northern Manhattan. Fueled by the weak dollar, foreign firms are purchasing properties "this cheap stock of housing that’s far from luxurious." But at the current rents these buildings are barely profitable (if at all), so they still can't be considered bargains even for someone buying with euros or pounds. The deals only work for the investor when they can raise the rents.

I wish I could post the "I didn't have the ball, bitch!" photo, as it brought us luck in the last series. However, with Mikey's transference to greener pastures this week, I fear it might have the opposite effect. Instead, I give you the craziest Venezuelan this side of Huge Chavez:
While we can't look forward to an AJ/Mikey rematch any longer (and frankly, that ALONE might have been cause to keep Barrett around), we can hope for yet another lecture on diversity and tolerance in America from their fearless leader. In the past, Ozzie has given us such pearls of wisdom as:
"I've got two people here that drive me crazy. They are all over me, and I'm like 'Shut up, you drunk.' It's easy to make moves when you're drunk.”

| | | Gearing Up For The Bronx Bombers, Part II | | 2007-05-08 22:04:20 | | The Rangers open up a big three game series against the New York Yankees tonight in the Bronx, as they begin playing a string of sixteen consecutive games. With Texas headed back to Arlington to face Anaheim for four games starting Friday, this is really a make-it-or-break-it stretch for the Rangers. That being said, here’s a few Rangers notes floating around before tonight’s first pitch:
Mike Wood will make the start tonight against Andy Pettitte. Robinson Tejeda was originally scheduled to make the start, but he’ll go on Wednesday instead to give his sore left hamstring and right elbow an extra day of rest. Pitching coach Mark Connor compares Wood to the 2007 version of John Wasdin - a versatile guy who can pitch in relief or make emergency starts.
Eric Gagne has been activated from the disabled list, and will be available for tonight’s game. Wes Littleton has been optioned back to Oklahoma City. I’d rather see Willie Eyre sent packing, but Eyre seems t | | By: Baseball Time in Arlington | | |
| | The Texas Con Man Returns...To The Bronx | | 2007-05-07 18:40:00 | | The following is an article I wrote today at Bornintoit.com about The Carpetbagger's return to the Yankees.As the whole baseball world knows by now, Roger Clemens has made his decision for 2007, and will play the final four months of the season with the New York Yankees.Count me in the crowd that wanted no part of any kind of return from him to a Red Sox uniform.Let’s get one thing straight folks. Roger Clemens is about one thing and one thing only: Roger Clemens. He is only about the money and perks, and who’ll pony up the most for him. Clearly the Yankees are in a very desperate situation in regards to their disasterous pitching staff, and caved in and gave The Carpetbagger exactly what he wanted: a pro-rated contract of $28 million dollars, which, oh what a coincidence, will be $1 million more than Alex Rodriguez, the highest paid player in baseball, will be making in 2007.I like the rotation the Red Sox have put together, and the addition of Jon Lester (possibly by the end of | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |
| | Back for the Bronx Boys | | 2007-04-22 09:06:00 | | So once again I'm forced to plead forgiveness for my lack of posting. Last week I was on spring break in Cancun, without a computer in sight, and only a little blurb in the Miami Herald to update me on the Sox. From what I read, though, my boys are doing really well! They are 8-2 over their last ten games, with only the LA Angels having a better record by one win. We are on the verge of sweeping the Yankees, in a game that my father and sister are attending but I am not, thanks to my bad luck drawing cards from a deck. I told them to bring brooms.In Cancun I met some Yankee fans. Several Yankee bashes into our conversation, they told me I was a little pisser. I explained that once ARod cools down, which he inevitably will, the Yankees will have nothing. Their starters belong in Little League, Mariano Rivera's washed up, and Jeter has how many errors again? Six, was it? I'd be pretty embarrassed. And finally, Coco Crisp is finally heating up, hitting a critical triple two days ago in an amazing blown save by Mariano Rivera, and going 2-4 yesterday with a stolen base. I was absolutely thrilled when I found out. It had been so long that I had forgotten what it looked like for him to make solid contact.EDITED TO ADD: Jacoby Ellsbury went 4-for-5 with two triples, a double and three RBI Friday for Double-A Portland.Ellsbury is 18-for-36 with seven doubles and three steals in three attempts. He also had plenty of success after moving up to Double-A last year, so he should be in Triple-A right now. However, the Red Sox already have David Murphy there and they're not eager to move either player to a corner. (stolen from bostondirtdogs.com) | | By: Scarlet Fever | | |
