Heidi, Say It Aint So!

Posted on November 15, 2011 by jtulz07

My heart sank when I came across this news, but the Boston Globe reported earlier today that Tito, Theo, and Papelbon may not be the only ones on their way out of Boston. Red Sox in-game reporter, Heidi Watney, is coming up on the end of her contract later this month and inside sources have hinted that she may be calling it quits with the Sox after four years of loyal service. Now, there are no reports to the truth of this, but the mere thought is enough to completely demoralize the already depression struck Red Sox Nation. Thank God the Bruins are back on track and the Pats are in good shape for the rest of the season because I don’t think I can take much more bad news from the other two teams without slipping into a world of misery. Heidi, say it aint so!

Papel-Bon Voyage

So just like that Papelbon’s off to the Phillies. Personally, I don’t like this move at all. Sure he hasn’t been as dominant as he has been in previous years, but come on! He wasn’t involved in the infamous chicken and beer scandal of the century; he was just posted up in the bullpen waiting to do his thing. It just so happened that come September we didn’t enter the 9th with a lead so he couldn’t get out there. I think it’s a mistake to get rid of him. And to the Phillies nonetheless? I mean they’ve been alright the past few years but we don’t need to help them get any better. Questionable move at best. Sox have to come up with something big before April…we’re going to need it.

Sox Bring Home the Gold

Posted on November 2, 2011 by jtulz07

With all the negativity surrounding the Red Sox in the past few weeks, or months for that matter, some good news has shown through. For the first time since 1979, three Red Sox players earned the right to boast Gold Gloves. Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, and Adrian Gonzalez won the coveted prizes earlier this evening. Granted these awards come across almost as frequently as my truck breaks down (AAA on speed dial) and by no means shadow the events that occurred throughout ~~September~~, it gives us a little something to hold on to during the off-season.
