59-ZERO: Is This Win Worth Talking About?

Hell no.
The Titans are a winless team who really didn’t show up for last Sunday’s game.  If anything the next two weeks of pounding the Pats will do on these hapless teams is no-news in my book.
On a fantasy level, you must be drooling if you have Brady or Moss on your team. Maroney has [...]

Tom Brady: The Fallen Messiah

Tom Brady is getting shelled with negativity more in Beantown than Barack Obama.
The radio is A-Buzz with people calling saying that ” Tom Brady has lost it, Tom Brady isn’t the same as he was in 2007.”
This is probably the same Nation constituency that lauded Matt Cassell ( the now Winless Matt Cassell ) so [...]

Red Sox 2009 Season: Short-Term Failure, Long-Term Success

I criticize Theo Epstein, not due to my insane upbringing as a Boston sports fan or my paternal demeanor towards the teams, but due to the misaligned perception our GM has been receiving since he has been running the Red Sox.
When we win, he could do no wrong. When we lose, he still could do [...]

Red Sox, 2009, Jason Bay/Manny Saga On The Brink

I’m sorry, but the argument last year was that neither the Red Sox nor Manny Ramirez made it to the World Series. And in the 2009 campaign for the trophy, much of Red Sox Nation felt that we could win it without the dreads in the outfield.
Now, in the time when the Sox most needed [...]

How Would I Grade David Ortiz for 2009?

He goes nearly a month trying to smash just one ball over the opposing outfielders’ heads, he was whistle-blown for having his name on the PED list, he never has gotten his average above the league median, and throughout most of the year, many have questioned on how legit this guy can be for the [...]

Are The Indians Really Done?

Say it isn’t so!
This team is so much better than they are playing. So much better. But you have to question their ability to mold dominant pitchers for this frail staff.
Think about it: Under John Hart or Mark Shapiro, when have major league baseball teams ever been scared of this team’s rotation?
Although very dominant in [...]

Why Do People Love Manny Ramirez?

I guess I talked about this a little in my other post, butI answer this question a little bit:
Here is the post

Wallace Matthews: Another Manny Whiner

I am going to start posting up “Manny Whiners”. These are people ( or groups of people, Hello WEEI ) who cannot stop bitching about Manny Ramirez. These people fail to realize that this guy got caught, he admitted he used shit, disappeared, came back, and even made fun of himself:
“He came into the (Mets) [...]
