    Well, they ain't on the other side of the fence, either, so it kinda works.

    How Much Do You Hate the Shift Ban?

    I imagine enforcement will not generate much in the way of controversy or emotional response. Similar to a 3-second call in the paint, or contact inside the restricted arc resulting in mostly blocking calls rather than charges (both rules >>favoring offense), 99% of fans (the non-SoSH) will...

    Red Sox Greatest Hits

    How about the most recent hit we saw in Fenway? Rafi's 3-bouncer seeing-eye single into short right last fall. Followed by.... Mookie's Mad Dash I loved it 'cuz we were there. *Barnes squanders ERod's 20th win in the 8th. *And I saw THIS the inning before Mookie did his thing in the 9th...

    Fenway Tour: Worth It?

    Did it once, will do it again. Guides vary in knowledge level & presentation panache (to be expected). Available as one of the attractions on "Go Boston" trip cards if you're a Touron wanting multiple options in a package deal...

    Hanigan fractures knuckle; Swihart to be called up

    The Canon of Cannons - OF arms past

    Dewey probably had more throws than anyone resulting in "no assist" because runners/coaches were too intimidated to test him on 1st-3rd or 2nd-home.  Fans went nuts for his 'holds'.

    Your Red Sox Blind Spot

      OK, this was a greenlight for a blind spot I've taken a lot of shit for over the years.    Larry Andersen: Did what he was supposed to do (shored up a shaky middle pen), had great numbers in a limited time, and maybe the Sox don't get to the post-season without him.   Bagwell was not then a...
