I was sure that was going out. Our torture will be dragged out even longer.

Sometimes it is the right picture, but a bad decision.

I ahve had this monkey on my back for 40+ years. I can't shake it.

Yeah it was Boggs. Apparently, he is a big time tournament fisherman. The picture my friend had sent me did not have Boggs. He sent me the wrong picture.

It's just post mortem. I'm only watching because I have a morbid curiosity.

My friend went to a Bass Fishing tournament on Friday. While I was having some drinks after work, my friend called to tell me that Wade Boggs had been at the tournament and that he was drinking with Boggs. He asked Boggs to say hello to the biggest Sox fan he knew. Boggs took the phone and was very friendly, but it was noisy where I was and where he was, so I really could n't hear much of what he had said. My friend had told me that Boggs was in the picture he had sent me earlier in the day. He had sent me a picture of his prize winning fish. After speaking to Boggs, I checked the picture. Boggs was not in the picture. I sent a text to my friend telling him that Boggs was not in the picture. My friend insisted that he was. Now I am starting to think that someone is pulling my leg with a prank. I text my friend a question for Boggs to verify his identity. I told him to ask Boggs the significance of 7:17. My friend has no clue, so he can't answer it. My friend is cracking up and he tells Boggs that I suspect that he is a fraud. He read the text wrong and asks Boggs: "what is 7 for 17?" Boggs looked at him like he was nuts and says "is he talking about the time I went 7 for 7?" I text my friend: "not 7 for 7. Ask him about 7:17 pm." He shows Boggs the text, and Boggs says "Oh, I went to the batting cage at 5:17 and ran my wind sprints at 7:17." He asked my friend for his phone so he could call me and verify his identity. They fumbled the hand off and dropped the phone breaking it to smithereens. Boggs says tell me his number and I call him on my phone. My friend of course doesn't have my cell phone # memorized because it is programmed into his phone. We had a pretty good laugh the next day.

This game was lost when they failed to get a single run after loading the bases with no one out and the 3-4-5 batters due. Everything since then is just a post mortem.

That was a Manny-type baserunning blunder by Balentin.

Another K for Baldelli. Benching Ortiz has worked like a charm.

Here's Rocco with the Oh fer the weekend

If Lowell had just struck out, Drew would have had a shot and he is getting locked in.

You deserve to lose when you let an opportunity like that go. This guy Vargas is a piece of s***.

Another ridiculous road loss looms.

They need to crush this guy in this inning. Bases loaded no one out and 3-4-5 batting.

Ortiz could not have done worse than Baldelli in the DH spot this weekend. He doesn't have a single hit.

Drew crushed that.

This time it's his groin. He says that he'll be ready by Tuesday.

The Yankees are celebrating these walk-off wins against the Twins like they are playoff games. Have the Twins won a game at yankee stadium this decade? It's a foregone conclusion.

I am a bit baffled that Tito benched Ortiz for all 3 games of this series. Considering the garbage that Seattle has trotted to the mound in a ll three games and the fact that he would have been away from the glare of the Boston media and fans, he might have gotten a few hits.

Those who predicted his precipitous offensive decline were very wrong.

Hey, it's my own brand of mojo. Don't f*** with it.

Great play by Mauer and a stupid play by Gardner coming home with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th inning. What a douche!

The Sox are facing a terrible team with a minor leaguer on the mound, but because it's on the road the Sox will probably lose.

Gardenhire overmanages every game his team plays against the Yankees. The Twins would be better off if they tied him up and locked him in his office before the game.
