John Berman at ABC News offered up a great “out of office” notice for New England fans reeling from last night’s culmination of the Red Sox epic September collapse: What is a Red Sox fan to do today? I hope to provide some practical assistance. Accordingly, below you will see my e-mail “out of office” [...]

Capturing A Triple Play
A quick video of Boston Globe photographer Jim Davis describes how he anticipated and photographed each leg of the 5-4-3 triple play that the Red Sox pulled off vs the Tampa Bay Rays on August 16. Pretty awesome that he was thinking about and anticipating for such a rare play.
Red Sox vs The World
Earlier, I was over at Flip Flop Fly In, the awesome site by Craig Robinson that has all sorts of baseball infographics. I was intrigued by one that compared the all time records of the White Sox and the Red Sox (a vernable battle of the, er, Soxes), and it got me thinking about how [...]
Bruins Win Stanley Cup!
OK, I admit it. I am the epitome of a ‘front runner’/bandwagon/show up late to the party Bruins fan. I don’t think I watched a Bruins game all year until the playoffs. I’m the first to admit that I lost interest in the team and the sport of hockey. Growing up in New England, I [...]
Red Sox – Cubs
Super cool to see the Chicago Cubs playing the Red Sox at Fenway this weekend for the first time in 93 years. If the baseball Gods had not been so cruel back in 2003 – the year of Steve Bartman in Chicago and Aaron (F***ing) Boone in Boston – these two storied (and until this [...]
I Want My Apple TV
Actually, I already have it. And I love it. I’m bringing this up because Crunchgear reported that ATV has sold ~2 Million In about 7 months. Clearly I’m not alone. What I’m liking is the on demand element of the service. Whatever I want to watch is only a few clicks away. Its seamlessly integrated [...]
Sox vs Yanks
Fantastic New Era commercial with Alec Baldwin (Yanks) and John Krasinski (Red Sox) going at each other.
Thud
That’s the sound of the Red Sox after opening the 2011 season by getting slapped around and swept out of Texas by the Rangers. These games were not even close – the Sox got outplayed across the board. Here’s the overall line for the Rangers’ offense: 34 of 102 this weekend with 26 runs scored [...]
Bing Crosby and The Kid
Over the weekend, there were two great vintage baseball stories in the NY Times. The first was a profile of John Updike’s seminal baseball essay The Hub Bids Kid Adieu. The essay documented the famous last game that Ted Williams played for the Red Sox, when he hit a home run in his final at [...]
Red Sox Tease
The Red Sox are teasing their loyal fans again this year. They are going to win a few games and get “thisclose” to sniffing the Wild Card, and then they are going to get swept by the Oakland or Seattle on the West Coast.
More Baseball Panoramics
In early June I went down to Baltimore and Washington DC and took in two games at Camden Yards and Nationals Park respectively. Two weeks ago I was in Boston at Fenway watching the Sox come back in the 9th inning to beat the Tigers and in the process created an additional panoramic of Fenway [...]
A Tale of Four Pitchers
This weekend, the Red Sox were down in the Bronx taking on the Yankees in a typical late August four game series. The teams split the series, with each team winning two games. But here is the interesting thing. The two winning pitchers for the Red Sox were Clay Buchholtz and John Lester, who combined [...]
