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

No, I can’t prove it … but it’s the only reasonable explanation for how the rookie manager just bodyslammed the Yankees in the ALDS by pulling off a string of flawless moves that, had they not panned out, would have made for the longest winter of his life.

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: Red Sox Opening Day, 2015

April 3, 2017 Leave a Comment

With just moments to go before the Red Sox kick off the 2017 season at Fenway Park, I thought I’d share with you an awesome Opening Day experience from a couple years back.

In 2015, we had tickets to see the Sox play their first game of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizen’s Bank Park. Our seats were about 20 rows behind the Sox dugout, and a short while into the game, my wife pointed to someone sitting on the aisle a few rows ahead of us.

[ 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.

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.

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.
