Boston Triple Crown?

It's time for a little sports wrap-up of my favorite teams, which all hail from Beantown! Is it possible that Boston will have 3 championships? I think so, at least that's what the numbers say. I know the whole spy gate controversy was a total damper on my Pats, but just look at the results! Let me just give you some stats so you can be on the same page even if you're not a die hard sports fan like myself. Tom Brady sets a record 50 touchdown passes, the franchise sets a record of 75 touchdowns in a single season, and 589 points for the year, which is a NFL record. The end result is 16-0! Did I mention one of the main reasons for their success? Randy Moss has calmed down and matured so much as a player. He caught a record 23 touchdown passes from the Stetson model. It's the first time that a team has went undefeated in a 16 game season. The '72 Miami Dolphins were 14-0 and then won the Super Bowl! Basically, New England is the clear favorite to win the big one.

Now on to the big three in green. Garnett, Allen, and Pierce are averaging 59.5 points this season. We've just reached the 30 game mark and they're dominating the East and West. The team's record is 27-3! The question is, can the big three stay healthy enough to keep it going? I think what Boston has this season is remarkable, they have so many bench players that piece it all together. Eddie House is a journeyman in the league, but his outside shooting has brought him much success with the team. Boston has so many outside shooters: Ray Allen 38%, Pierce 40%, Rondo 33%, House 44%, Tony Allen 44%, Posey 40%, Pruitt 33%, Scalabrine 30%, need I say more!!! The Celtics are a well oiled machine and until the wheels fall off they're on their way to the promise land.

I can only hope that the Pats and Celts can follow in the footsteps of my beloved Red Sox and bring the triple crown to Beantown. There's still 50 games left in the NBA regular season and the Patriots have a bi-week before they start their run for the trophy. Only the strong survive and in the words of my boss man, Lets go Redtriotics!!!

The winter is looking pretty good for the MLB! The first blockbuster deal has been made and my favs Dontrell Willis and Miguel Cabrera are heading to the Detroit Tigers. In 2003, when Miguel was a youngster in the league, he won a World Series and now with the addition of the left-handed pitcher and slugger the Tigers are seeking the same success. The A-Rod deal, which I find preposterous is setting expectations very high for the MVP. The Yankees seem to think that with the new Yankee stadium revenues will make up for the big contract and that might be true, but will Alex fail in the post-season like he's done for the last two years. Until he can prove he's worthy of such a lucrative deal, I can't support the Yankees decision. Detroit Tigers will definitely be in the post-season next season and look for the Red Sox to be right with them. I can only hope that AT&T Uverse will offer the League pass. I put a call in to the company yesterday to demand the League passes be added and the rep was like, " ma'am we're working to make that happen, you aren't the only way that is frustrated with the lack of sports services!" I'm already excited about the '08 season! I'm just waiting on the Astros to make some kind of smart move, I can't be flying off to another city just to watch baseball.

Pedroia and Ellsbury are the Stars of the World Series!

Oh wow, it seems like forever since I've blogged. It has been a crazy and busy week, so I had to wait until things settled down. Anyway, lets get down to baseball shall we! Boston Red Sox as you all know is my favorite team, so I am very excited to see them beating up on the Rockies. You guys may or may not remember the butt whooping they gave to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004, well it looks like Colorado better start packing up and go on a long vacation. The rookies Pedroia and Ellsbury have been the stars of the World Series, with batting averages of .357 and .417 respectively. Ellsbury in game 3 last night had two doubles and the 3rd inning looked like a clinic by the away team. Ortiz even with a bum knee was able to come up with a huge RBI in the 3rd after striking out in the 1st inning. So it seems that my fav team is running on all cylinders and Terry Francona is pulling out all strategies to ensure a victory in Colorado. Game 4 tonight is do or die time for the Rockies!

The Red Sox are Heading to the Big Dance!

I couldn't even close my eyes tonight without hearing the cheers from the sell-out crowd at Fenway Park. The atmosphere was electric and I so wanted to be apart of it. I had to watch my Texans fall today to the Titans. The Texans were down 32-7 after 3 quarters and then Rosenfel orchestrated one of the greatest come-backs I've ever seen.

So I was very sad, but anxious for some renewed excitement. My Boston cap was on turned to the back and a Fanta soda was by my side. I was focused and ready, hands were clammy, face was turning red, stomach started hurting! This is the feeling of a dedicated Boston fan people, it's all a process! Anyway, so the Red Sox held on to a 1 pt lead going into the 7th.

At times during the inning I felt like I was watching a little league game, the errors and base-running was horrible! The Sox still stayed focused and tore it up in the 8th inning against Betancourt. Pedroia and Yooouki were on fire! The made-men weren't so fortunate this game, but Manny deserved a break. He has been the fuel that has ran the ship. Big Papi's knees have really messed up his swing and he's not the confident slugger that everyone is use to. Bean-town was wide awake after CoCo Crisp caught the ball in the outfield to end the game. He banged his knee into the green wall, but was able to hobble his way to meet the team.

So there it is ladies and gents, my take on the game and the emotions that come with it. So the same process will occur on Wed when the World Series kicks off. The Rockies beat the Red Sox 2 out of 3 games in the regular season. What the hell does that mean to me, NOTHING!

Boston is Having the Best Week Ever!

Patriots made a believer out of everybody, they routed the Cowboys on Sunday 48-27 and the Red Sox and Indians are tied in the ALCS. Manny was definitely being Manny in the first two games and it seemed like the Indians had almost given up, but in Game 2 Trot Nixon started a rally and the other players followed. The Indians put up 7 runs in the 11th to top the BoSox. Manny has been batting .500 and that's mainly on 0-2 counts. Big Papi has been hustling even on a bum knee, he's been laying it all out on the field. They shall meet again on Monday in Cleveland. I hope those damn bugs aren't flying around like they did in the Yankees series! I mean that was funny, seeing A-Rod slap bugs off his pretty face, but this is my team, so no distractions please! Boston is on it's way to having the best year ever, if the Sox can stay focused and put the Indians away. Patriots have the chance to clinch a playoff spot by Thanksgiving, how crazy is that! Lets go Red Sox and keep it moving Pats!

Video of the Day- Manny's Walk-Off HR

Come on, were you expecting anything else!! Yanks not so much, their down 2-0 against the Indians!

Lets Go Red Sox!!

My dreams of another ALCS showdown between the Yanks and BoSox may come true, but they will both have to get through some really hard nose ball clubs if they want to get there! The Yanks will take on the Indians in what most critics are calling the most important series for A-Rod who is the home-run king, but in the playoffs he's never been able to step-up for the big plays. Actually, he's done nothing in the last couple of playoffs, his batting average has been .333! Sabathia will be pitching the first game against the Yanks and Beckett will be pitching for the Red Sox in Game 1. So may the best pitcher win and A-rod goes 1 for 16. I'm so glad it's October, Big Papi and Manny time!

Boston Finally Snaps Losing Streak!

You guys know I love my Red Sox and they are back on track! Boston (57-39) played the White Sox, to whom they lost against on the previous night came back with a vengeance. Crisp had a triple the fifth with a line-drive. Lugo had a Grand Slam while Drew had two doubles. The Red Sox were on a three game losing streak until last night and trying to keep at least trying to keep nine games ahead of the Yankees, in my opinion they need to be 15 or more ahead. You can never underestimate the Yanks, A-Rod anyone?

MLB Updates

Yankees 2
Giants 7

Poor Rocket, you know the Yanks are desperate when he's coming out of the bullpen!
The marquee matchup went to Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox. Beckett became baseball's first 11-game winner and the Red Sox worked over Jake Peavy victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday in a matchup of two of the game's top pitchers.

Padres 2
Red Sox 4

Yes, give it up for the grinders! My BoSox are back on a roll and the Yanks are slipping once again.

Baseball Sunday

It's Beckett time! I've been a fan since Beckett played for the Florida Marlins, he has the most nastiest slider and change-up. I encourage all fans to check out the Padres game at 4:05 ET. Boston is still leading in the Al, so that' always a plus. I'll update all the games from Sunday a little later. Until then baseball fans, have an awesome Sunday!!

AL Updates!

I think it's quite clear who my favorite team is! Yes, I want these two to meet in the ALCS! The BoSox and Yankees have new rosters and I'm always up for a good dogfight. What could be a better matchup, than an old schooler and new kid from around the globe? It would just be the ultimate, bars all over the world would rake in plenty of dough and spend a lot on cab service! Ahh yes, October is awesome! The BoSox took on the Giants at Fenway Park. Unfortunately, the line-up was a hot mess until my boy Manny stepped to the plate and hit one right over the Green Monster! Dice-K had 8 strikeouts and 7 scoreless innings. Final Score 1-0

The "Subway" series continued and this time the Mets were off the tracks. I just hope the Yanks can keep the wins up, so they can make my dream come true! Final Score 11-8

Give It Up Yankees!!

I think the Yankees need to hang their hats and realize they're not the bomb anymore. The pitching line-up sucks! Roger Clemens who? He's side-lined with a groin injury. The organization couldn't have really thought that bringing in Roger Clemens was going to do the job, did they? I like Joe Torre, he's had a tremendous career! I just think it's time for new blood. The Yankees arch nemesis is the Red Sox and Beckett just got his 9th win!
