Wow Red Sox Pitching

The first time the Boston Red Sox have given up 12 or more runs in three straight games in franchise history. That is a great record to break huh. Right now it looks like the Yankees just want it more than the Red Sox do. It is sad to watch these games. Could it be a Subway Series this year? Who knows both are playing really well. I think the AL is too deep for the NL this year, but the NL can pitch. What a run to the end these wild card positions are going to be. With how hot the Twins and White Sox have been. You know this is the Red Sox fault. They had a chance to put all these teams away and the didn't. Its just too bad.

Well anyway we found out TO will not play this Monday because Parcells says he needs more practice. Is this the trouble everyone is waiting for or is this Parcells taking over. I think Parcells is just putting him in line and I like it. Time will tell.

Preseason Football

I think it is funny to watch players like Jeremy Shockey argue call during the television break. Get over it. It is preseason. You are there to get ready for the season. The Giants looked pretty good. The Chiefs looked terrible. Hope that is not a sign of there season to come. No offense at all. well maybe thats just a Herman Edwards thing. No points with the Jets either. Can't wait for the regular seaon. It is quickly coming apon us. Bring it on.

On another note the Red Sox are getting blown out by the Yankee's in the first game of a day night doubleheader. Hinske has three doubles in his debut with the Sox so far though. That is a good sign to have another left handed batter who can play multiple position. Anyway hopefully the rest of the day will go better.

I am Back

After helping my brother with tryouts for a couple of days I am back. It was a lot of fun. I love soccer. Anyway TO was back on the field for the Cowboys. That is a good thing. The Red Sox won a game that was a good thing. My baseball team is killing everyone in fantasy sports that was a good thing. Now I just need my Celtics and Bruins to step it up in the coming seasons.

You know whats coming up soon though. My Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Can't wait for the college football season. Jam packed stadiums, the crowds going nuts. What a rush a lot of those games are. Can you go undefeated. Now we just need a playoff system and I will be happy. That won't happen thogh because these college's might lose a little bit of money. Its really too bad.

Soccer tryouts

Sorry I have been away helping my brother with soccer tryouts yesterday and today. I have been having a lot of fun. Like I said before watching the young kids give it all they have is awesome. Well some of the kids anyway. Will be back hopefully tomorrow with some better news on the Sox. They have dropped two straight to Detroit, They need to ge some momentum going into the New York series. Anyway gotta go. Thanks for looking.

Kevin Harvick Wins at the Glen

Kevin Harvick passes my driver Tony Stewart to win at Watkins Glen. What a turn around for Richard Childress Racing this year. With two drivers in the top 5 in standings they can not be happier. Both Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton are having great seasons. When it comes to the chase I think they will both have great chances. Now Kurt Busch who took a huge strategy chance is in loads of trouble. He is 12th in the points and is not looking good, which will make all the Kurt Busch haters happy. Tony Stewart moved up to 7th Thank God. He has been giving me a scare the last few weeks, but hopefully a strong second will get him going again. Wow is it going to get exciting the next few weeks as the top ten sorts out for the chase. I can't wait to watch.

Fantasy Sports

Who out there plays fantasy sports? I do. Not very well, but I play free fantasy sports against friends and family on yahoo. I am in first place in my baseball league, but I am sure that will not last. I have gone through life with people telling me how much I know about sports and I can't play fantasy sports to save my life. Maybe my luck is changing. Maybe I am just paying more attention. I personally think a lot of it is luck. Getting a high draft position. I will probably get the 8th out of 10 teams in my football league. Thats usually how it goes. Does anyone else have draft woes? Not everyone can get Larry Johnson if you know what I mean.

Manny Extends Hit Streak To 27 Games

It took him till the 10th inning, but Manny extended his hitting streak to 27 games. The Red Sox pulled another one and a good thing to keep pace with the Yankees. Just a short one for now because I just watched it happen. Will be back later with someting other than Red Sox.

Manny Being Manny Ramirez Extends Hit Streak to 26 Games

Manny Ramirez extends his hit streak to 26 games and more importantly the Red Sox get the 9-2 win. Everybody always wants to talk about the bad with Manny, but hitting streaks are also Manny being Manny. I will take all the good he gives over the bad any day. He also knocked in a couple of runs in the win bringing his total to 93 and counting. It will be another 40 homer 100 plus RBI season for Manny.

On another good note David Wells went seven strong innings for the win. Man did the Sox need that. He had the curve ball going tonight. Hopefully this will be the start of a winning streak. Well that all I have right now.

Soccer

This is my first post on soccer and it is my passion. Please do not tune out just because I am talking about soccer. It is a very fun sport to play and watch. If you get to know the game it is very exciting. The most popular sport in the world. The problem for Americans is they think there is not enough goals. Well I think hockey went in the wrong direction. Who wants to watch 8 to 1 and 7 to 2 games. That is boring. There is nothing better than playoff hockey with the hard fought 2 to 1 and 1 to 0 games. That is what soccer is all about. I can't wait for the high school season starts and I can go watch these young kids giving it everything they have to get that 1 goal. There is nothing better.

The Red Sox Are Sinking

Man I wanted to talk about something besides my Red Sox. What a horrible way to and a road trip losing five out of six to the Devil Rays and Royals. Can it get any worse than that. The hated Yankees are going to pull away at this rate. Between no clutch hitting and the bullpen I am not sure which is worse. How many times can you load the bases. I understand injuries, but the Yankees were much worse off in that department for a long time. Come on lets get it going. Thank god we are back in Fenway. Maybe that will jump start the offence. At this rate the Yankees will be out of site and the White Sox will have the wild card. Please give me some hope.

New York Yankees

Yes I hate them, but I guess I must give them some props. All the injuries this team went through, and they are in first place in the AL East. It is amazing. They lost there entire outfield. Of course they just bought another one, but they were already holding there own. Now they have Cano back and the offense is just going to get better. I still believe my Red Sox can catch them, but it will be tough. Joe Torre does not deserve the constant calls for him to be fired every year. With all that said I hope they fade in the end.

How Bout Them Cowboys

Are you ready for some football? I know I am! Its time for my Cowboys to rise back to the top. With TO on board lets get this engine started. I know I am from New England and I am supposed to like the Patriots. Give me a break. I could care less about the Patriots. Anyway I just can't wait to get started. A ton of guys changed teams this year. Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young joined the league. Should be a fun year. Can't wait for my fantasy draft. Where are all the Cowboys haters at. Let me know how you feel. Well that is my post for the day. Just waiting for some people to find my blog and let me know how they feel about sports today.

Big Papi for MVP

As I watch my Red Sox play today I want to make my claim for Big Papi for MVP. With one catch. He doesn't play first base anymore. Yes I think a DH can win the mvp award. Especially with all the big hits in the late innings. There are months at a time he can carry them on his back. Don't get me wrong Manny being behind him in the line up is a big reason for his success. Then he plays first and costs them four runs by keeping the inning going with the error. MVP MVP MVP! Just please don't play first base.

Steroids

What are everyone's thoughts on steroids these days. I know I am sick of hearing about it. Did Barry Bonds take performance enhancing drugs? Probably. Will we ever prove it? Probably not. So lets move on to more important things. Like the pennant races going on. The dreaded Yankees just passed my Red Sox for first place in the AL East. The Mets and Tigers are running away with there divisions. Who would have ever thought it. The Cubs as usual are falling apart. Baseball is a great sport. Lets think about the positive. Just so you all know though Barry Bonds is a hall of famer whether you like it or not.
