Right now it looks like we could have “real” Major League Baseball games early in July. The proposal is for a roughly 80 game schedule. Followed by the playoffs. There would be fewer divisions with teams from both the American and National Leagues intermingled into “regional” divisions. So I have heard that could mean the […]
Spring training is finally upon us! The long drought from Super Bowl to pitchers and catchers reporting is finally over. Now, if we could just get the media to talk about actual spring training and not some petty “scandal” from two years ago. So the Astros and probably the Red Sox “cheated” by stealing signs. […]
Without exaggeration this is the worst Red Sox trade since Babe Ruth became a Yankee. This is curse inducingly bad! I didn’t realize how ticked off I was about this entire ordeal, until someone asked me about it in the office this week and it only took me about 27 seconds to start yelling. There […]
Curt Schilling, friend of the Sports Chowdah, came up roughly 5% shy of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year. Derek Jeter and Larry Walker were the only members of this year’s class. Jeter was a no-brainer (no qualm with him not being unanimous), Larry Walker is a nice player, numbers are better […]
You won’t find many Red Sox fans walking this planet that don’t love Jason Varitek. He’s deservedly one of the most popular Sox players in history. Without Tek theres no 2004 title. No mitt in A-Rods pompous face. No comeback. And really you have to love a catcher that jumps into the pitchers arms, instead […]
Sometimes the criminal gets away with the money and the beautiful woman. But sometimes they press their luck with the warden just a bit too far.
Alex Cora has three World Series rings. But how many of them did he cheat to get? Cora played in 83 games for the 2007 Red Sox. That ring is most likely legit. Let’s hope we can say the same for the 2018 ring he earned as the manager of the Sox. But that might […]
The Red Sox season is over. It was a long, disappointing, dull season with just not that many memorable moments for Sox fans. Did I mention loooooooong? The Red Sox play the longest games in all of Major league baseball at an average of almost 3 hours and 20 minutes. For comparison, that’s 5 minutes […]
What a bummer of a season for the Sox and us fans. Just 84 wins. They were left in the division race dust by the Yankees. The Sox were technically in the Wild Card hunt through August, but not really. They finished with a losing record at Fenway Park. They will watch the playoffs on […]
Curt Schilling belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Yes, I wrote that back in early July. But every good movie, and debate, deserves a sequel. So, here’s part two of my Schill to the HOF argument. Through some metrics I won’t attempt to explain or pretend to understand, eligible players are ranked on how […]
