Random Thoughts

I reallyREALLY hope the 2012 campaign isn’t a dance around .500, with one day they are there, and the next they are not….and about a 1/4 of the way through the season, I never in a million years would have thought that the Sox would be 22...

This. Is. So. Sad. It took the Sox until May 21st. MAY 21st. To climb back to .500. I can even remember the last time they were here…UGH And last night’s win was no thanks to That Clay Person, who had a 31 pitch meltdown in the 3rd inning...

My humblest apologies to the Ramones for the bastardization of their classic: “Beat on the Brat”, which, since the next lyric is “with a baseball bat” is completely appropriate in this instance… It’s bad enough whe...

Well, it’s nice to know that Josh Beckett still has SOMETHING in the tank…Although as far as I am concerned, all is not better between Joshua and Red Sox Nation. He needs to make about 10 more quality starts and stop acting like an entitled j...

Yes, today, Boston Red Thoughts turns 6, and if you had told me back in 2006 that I would still be blogging, and at nearly 1200 blog post, a Facebook page, a Twitter Account, and be President of the Boston Chapter of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance to...

Remember when the Sox had pitchers like Curt Schilling, and Pedro, and even Josh Beckett a couple of year ago? These were pitchers that, when they came up in the rotation, you always expected them to win, and when they didn’t, you were shocked.

So, apparently, the Red Sox didn’t feel that being swept by the Baltimore Orioles in 27 innings was enough torture for their fans. I guess they thought: “Hey! Let’s play THIRTY-NINE Innings, totally trash and decimate our bullpen, which...

How sad is it, that, despite a 6-game win streak ON THE ROAD, and then actually being AT HOME, where, I don’t know, the Sox are supposed to be BETTER, that they cannot seem to beat Oakland, who is batting .214 as a team? OK, who had May 2nd in...

Can’t really complain that the Sox lost a single game on this 7 game road trip, despite the fact that their .500 record lasted less than 24 hours. If they win more series than they lose (with a few sweeps thrown in for good measure), the Sox wi...

How sad is it that we get all sorts of grateful if our team with the $178 million payroll full of superstars, gets two wins in a row–Not sure my heart can stand it if they win 3 and actually sweep the reeling Twins….even more sad… J...

Holy…Buckets… I have NEVER been so happy to have a rainout as I was yesterday. After the indescribably AWFUL day on Saturday, the only reason I was even going to watch on Sunday night is I wanted to see Terry Francona call the game, and s...

Apparently, the Tampa Bay Rays are the only team the Boston Red Sox can beat–and 12 games into the season, the Sox are still 2 games under .500 (.333 to be exact)..Better than the .167 of last week, but not by much… At least last night...
