    Carl Mays and the "Rape" of the Red Sox

    We all know about the Ruth trade—perhaps too much has been written about it. But lost in the Bambino talk is that the trade was part of a series of Red Sox-Yankees transactions so notorious that it had a name—“The Rape of the Red Sox.” The term came from Ed Barrow, the Sox manager from...

    Week 16: Broncos Is Caleb Spelled Like Joe Judge Scrawled It On A White Board

    We got all good news last week, as all the right teams won and/or lost. Pour one out for the hapless Panthers, whose ugly, self-defeating, unlikely win against the Falcons (28-3!) undid the damage of the Pats defeat of the Steelers in Week 14. We’re on to Denver. We’ve figured out what we’ve...

    Maye I Start Another? Pats! Steelers! Thursday!

    SoSH protocol demands that if you started the previous game thread and our team won, you get to start the next game thread. This was codified as “game thread mojo” back in ‘04. Since the Pats did all they could to improve their draft position last week, they “won.” So stick with me, your hot...

    Game 5: Sixers at Boston: Lobster Rolls > Cheese Steaks

    One time I was in the City of Brotherly Love for work and had to stay in a fancy downtown hotel. Looking for a quick lunch, I asked at the desk for directions to a sandwich shop. The clerk spits out some garbled phrases in that atrocious Philly accent, pointing down the street. I find the...

    Ferriss in the 6th, Hughson in the 7th! Or the Other Way Around! But Not Harris in the 6th!

    Consider the Sox starting rotation in the 1946 Series: Game 1, October 6, in St. Louis: Red Sox's Tex Hughson vs. Cardinals’ Howie Pollet. Hughson went 8 innings, gave up 2 runs, and relief pitcher Earl Johnson got the win got the win when the Sox scored in the 10th. Game 2, October 7, in...

    1/11/2023 Celts host Bobcats

    Guys, I know the Boston squad is firing on all cylinders, what with Rob Williams back and the treys falling. But….but….BUT….. We do not have an answer for Bismark Boyombo. We are the HMS Hood to his, well, you get it. And if we double Bismark (say, with the Prince of Wales), Gerald...

    1/9/23 Celts Host Bulls -- Let Us Have The Ritual

    Back in Ye Olden Days the Celts used to sacrifice bulls, mix the bull blood with mistletoe, and thus cure infertility. Let's go to Pliny the Elder for some pregame anlysis: "....Hailing the moon in a native word that means 'healing all things,' [the Celts] prepare a ritual sacrifice and...

    1/5/2023 Celts at Mavs --PROTOCOL VIOLATION

    I started the last game thread, and the boys lost big, like "gave up 150 beans" big. So why am I starting another game thread? Shouldn't Bernie C take a seat on the deep bench like Vonleh (RIP) and let another poster start this here game thread? Yes. But it is two hours before tipoff and...

    The First Fenway Park?

    Most of us know that prior to the 1912 opening of Fenway Park, the Red Sox played at the Huntington Avenue Grounds, long since demolished. In the nineteenth century, the Fenway area was, literally, a back water. Famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead designed a park for the area...
