More reasons to love the Red Sox

A great group of humble guys putting in stellar performances for Mike Lowell’s “Dancing with the All Stars.” 
This is a charity event for the Mike Lowell Foundation.  The boys of summer raised $190,000 for the Foundation through live and silent auctions, including a $32,000 bid on an authentic 2007 World Series ring.
Lowell won the competition, which Papelbon called [...]

Roger Clemens didn’t help himself

Yesterday was pretty sad.
As a long time Red Sox fan and Yankee hater, I have a a deep admiration for Roger Clemens and his mastery of the sport.  No one likes this steroid investigation, no one is clean, not the players, not the owners, not the commissioner.  Everyone had turned a blind eye, and now [...]

Unfortunately, this can all be summed up by “Brady is a nice guy” and “the Giants will win.”
It seems that, outside of Las Vegas, many television and print media pundits are predicting the Giants to win [...]

Giant killers

Well, we didn’t hit our scoring estimates yesterday with the Patriots and Chargers game. Brady had an off day and Tomlinson didn’t play much so we’re attributing the lower-than-expected scoring to that.  That being said, a win is a win.
The Superbowl will be a different story. The media is already calling for a Giant upset, so they can [...]

Pats 31, Chargers 17

In what looks to be a continuation of a perfect season, we think the SD hype is overextended and this game will not be as close as the score indicates.  Go Pats!
