Little-known fact: Alex Cora graduated magna cum laude from Hogwarts.

I bet David Price is a great guy. In fact, I bet if I was, say, sitting at the counter in a pizza joint having a slice, and he sat down nearby, and I asked him if he could please pass me the grated cheese, he’d be all, “Yeah, man, no problem. Here, have some grated cheese. And, hey, how ’bout some red-pepper flakes, too?” And I’d be like, “No, thanks,” because I’m a big sissy when it comes to hot, spicy foods … but, also, I’d be like, “Hey, aren’t you Red Sox starter David Price? Wow, you seem like a great guy!”

2018 ALDS: Red Sox vs. Yankees

It doesn’t get any better than Red Sox vs. Yankees in the postseason, am I right? No, it sure doesn’t … if the Sox win, that is. If they lose? Well, if they lose, it doesn’t get any worse.

I want to love David Price — really, I do — but he won’t let me.

Why, David Price? Why won’t you let me love you?

Flashback, Part 2: Red Sox Spring Training Camp 2015

[ CLICK HERE FOR PART 1 ]

In February 2015, we finally returned to Fenway South … and as much as our inaugural 2013 experience had surpassed our expectations, our sophomore visit blew them out of the water.

2016 ALDS Game 3: OMFG WTF just happened??

October 11, 2016 Leave a Comment

Me last night:

Not like this

No, really: That’s it? That’s how it ends? That’s how the 2016 Red Sox go down? That’s how Big Papi’s career comes to a close?

Ooof. I can’t even look at that picture without looking like that picture.

It’s the third fucking quarter and no one has scored a touchdown. I’m ready for the @Patriots to do something now, thank you.

Good to see civil-rights legend @repjohnlewis at the #SuperBowl⁠. (I have it on good authority that he’s rooting for the @Patriots. (Ok, not really.))

Excited for the #SuperBowl ... or, as my kids have come to know it, The Annual Early February @Patriots Game.

Haven’t enjoyed a championship win since October. Here’s hoping the 96-day drought finally comes to end.

"I have no idea when the #RedSox will again win the World Series, but whenever they do, my son no longer will be 15, and it's entirely possible that he won't have any interest in road-tripping to Boston with his dad ... so, yeah, I decided to go for it."

Celebrating like champions with the Boston Red Sox

Approximately 30 seconds after Game 5 ended, he began campaigning for a road trip to Boston to attend the parade.
