i would have to strongly consider a few of the first 8 games against the yankees. first one that comes to mind is the one where the yanks took a 6-0 lead and then burnett gave up a grand slam to varitek (his shining moment this year). then both teams slugged it out and the sox won… somehow. who remembers?

then the game where we down going into the ninth and rivera blew it on a bay home run.

also for consideration, the game wake started against the A’s like a week in. we were 2-6 and playing terrible. Then Wake almost threw a no-hitter, and i think he went all nine. turned the team around totally.

this made me laugh. any non-baseball person would be like, “they’re all about baseball”

Is awful, especially this year. There is no reason to have games played in November, EVER!!!! The worst part is we still have a 5 game ALDS instead of a 7 game series.

We play baseball the same for 162 games straight and then we change it for the playoffs? It isn’t that hard guys stop bending over for Fox.

It comes as no surprise that ESPN has suspended baseball analyst Steve Phillips for a week in the wake of his sexual escapades with a junior female employee. Steve finally admitted that he did have a brief fling with Brooke Hundley over the past summer.To go along with the fact that the man is a total sleaze, and an insult to the male gender, his wife slapped him in September with divorce papers, after his mistress stalked his family, although for the noble purpose of telling them how much of a sleaze he is. Apparently, the soon to be ex-Mrs. Phillips listened, and now Steve Phillips is going to need a new job, and a personal loan for a divorce attorney, and probably somewhere to stay.
