Just a quickie to keep you all up to date as to the progress of the website. Managed (after a heck of a lot of work) to get the image galleries sorted out (though not yet fully up and running). The knock on effect being I’ve had to invest in a little more hosting space […]

…slumped over his computer. It’s only the third inning and I’m prepping negative headings already. 4-0 down against Tampa Bay and yet again the offence just isn’t firing. A couple of defensive errors have made the score a little artificially high (which probably explains why it feels like we’re still in this one, unlike last […]

It strikes me that the problem the Sox have at the moment is hat they are a very reactive team rather than a proactive team. What do I mean by that? Well, the offence has been pretty consistent (and pretty impressive) for a number of seasons and the Sox have struggled to be really consistently […]

It’s been a while so I’ll throw up a quick update on the old town team having just finished watching highlights of a couple of difficult games against the Tribe.
Tied at one apiece in the series though the Sox looked awful in the second game loss and frankly could easily have lost the first as […]

God it’s been a while and for that I apologise. The website has become something of a behemoth and I’m struggling through eight hour days and don’t seem to be making any forward progress. So anyway, I figured I would give it my full attention for a while and it’s just grown and grown. Sorry, […]

I was sat at ‘puter number two this morning, watching the game on ‘puter 1 and typing up an old handwritten essay on Thoreau and Transcendentalism for the website. It’s strange looking back over what is more than ten years now, back to the person that I was then. But what was truly fascinating was […]

Just a quickie to keep up to date with the season so far.
Schilling won a close one in game 2 thanks to a first rate batting performance from Varitek and Wakefield beat the memory of his first outing into submission with a 4-1 win in the third of three.
Boston top the division 5-1. And the […]

There I was… finally got rid of the guys (only kidding) had a quick bite to eat and then settled myself down to watch the archive game from last night between the Red Sox and the Orioles.
Bloody internet starts playing up. Now, unfortunately I’m not technically minded enough to know whether the problem is at […]

It’s me, myself and I for a few days as Rach and Joe have headed down to Birmingham and Tom joins them tommorow. (His first solo trip on the train so we might never see him again!!)
I don’t quite understand why but when I am here on my own for any great length of time […]

After a days rest following taking 2 from 3 from the Rangers the Red Sox land in Baltimore and frankly things couldn’t be going any better.
Bottom of the fourth and we lead 10 to zip. Offence has been okay but the lead largely stems from one of the worst pitching peformances I’ve ever seen. The […]

Well, the winning streak ended at one as the Sox fall to the Rangers in the second game of three. Caught the score before I had the chance to watch the archived game and so decided in the end not to bother.
Today I’ve been a little more sly and managed to sit here watching the […]

I take it all back! I apologise! I was harsh, over sensitive and over critical. Opening Day has finally arrived after a cold winter (and even colder Spring Training) and the Red Sox decided to show up.
For the first time since 2000 the Sox won their opening day game 7 to 3 against the Texas […]

Junk mail is a perennial pain. Truth be told though, I don’t mind it. For several years now I’ve been religiously filling in those consumer research questionaires when they come through the door and you do find that after the third or fourth completed form your junk mail does become a lot more targeted and […]
