Still Kept at Bay

SawxFawx — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:41:42 EST

Thursday, outfielder Jason Bay rejected a 4 year-60 million dollar offer from the Red Sox, making him one in line with a few ball players, who have dismissed a stuck-in-the-recession deal. Angels owner Arte Moreno told the Los Angeles Times today, that their team is not interested in outfielder...

Forever Stuck with No. 24

Two years removed from trading Manny Ramirez, jersey number 24 is still being occupied in Boston. Manny Ramirez can’t sell his gorgeous $7.5 million dollar palace at the Ritz Residences. For a “reasonable” price, the 4,421 square foot...

Life: Interrupted

As if the world was waiting for a moment to emotionally self-destruct, today, Patriot Nation was finally allowed to release that pent up animosity. Group therapy is now in session. In a moment’s notice, New England was at “A Loss for Words,” watching its Patriots lose a...

The Daily Examiner: Friday November 6th

SawxFawx — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:33:00 EST

In Theo We Trust? Or in Theo's Eyes, We're a Bust? Today begins the "unofficial start" to the 2009 offseason, and the Red Sox have a LOT of slack to pick up. They could start by sweeping up the streets of NY after the Yankees victory parade. YUCKKKKK. Enjoy your weekend guys, just...

The San Diego Padres organization is getting ready to announce former Red Sox assistant GM Jed Hoyer as they’re new General Manager – replacing the long tenured Kevin Towers, who was let go late in the season. Hoyer – 35 – will soon be in charge of a Padres farm...

The Daily Examiner: Thursday October 22nd

SawxFawx — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:07:45 EDT

A little preview/my thoughts on Game 5 of the ALCS - and how about those Phillies? Sad to see the Sox go, but it's nice to still be watching baseball in October.

The Daily Examiner: Sox/Angels Mid Game Report

SawxFawx — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:16:33 EDT

Well.... looks like the bullpen WASN'T able to hold up on the feasible 3 run lead the Angels held on the Red Sox, after Saito just let in 2 more runs, making it 5-0 Angels. More CB Bucknor frustration rants to come...

The Daily Examiner: Thursday September 17th

SawxFawx — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:01:13 EDT

An epic come from behind win at the hands of an AL East playoff opponent? 7 in a row, and a chance to win 8 straight tonight? What could be better than placing Josh Beckett on the mound tonight against Ervin Santana - the last Sox game at Fenway until Sept 28th. Will Boston leave Yawkey Way...

The Daily Examiner: Wednesday September 16th

SawxFawx — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:06:56 EDT

Last night's start from Matsuzaka was ANYTHING but Dicey. What a way to come back - 38,000 Fenway faithful behind you, 6 innings of no run ball, Sox heading into the final 19 games of their season - cruisin to the Wild Card spot, while still potentially keeping the division in mind? Sox...

A Knee-Jerk Comeback

SawxFawx — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:50:24 EDT

They've done it before, overcoming an 11 point deficit in a matter of minutes. Facing incredible odds and playoff elimination in the final game of the 2002 regular season, the Patriots fell 24-13 against division rival Miami with 4:59 left to play in the fourth quarter. At the crucial...

The Daily Examiner: Tuesday September 8th

SawxFawx — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:40:31 EDT

This Daily Examiner has a slightly longer script, since the Sunday Shake was a 'rerun' due to the holiday weekend. Haha, Lester saved the weekend series with the lone win on Sunday - but Beckett was better today - albeit his fastballs got him through the majority of the contest. The...

The Daily Examiner: Thursday September 3rd

SawxFawx — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:09:00 EDT

A quick recap of last night's game, and a preview to tonight's match up - with Clay Buchholz on the mound vs. Rays left David Price. And it's Thursday, not Wednesday! My mistake :)

The Daily Examiner: Tuesday September 1st

SawxFawx — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:56:29 EDT

This team means business. Although it was not do-or-die in Tampa Bay tonight, the Boston came into tonight's action playing like they were in head-to-head competition for the wild card. It took 3 hours and 44 minutes for the Sox to dispose of the Rays, and they did so behind 12 hits, 3 home...

The Shameful Mr. Hobbs

SawxFawx — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:45:56 EDT

Save the date: August 30th, 2009, Tedy Bruschi's final goodbye, and a day many long time Patriots fans will never fail to recognize. As near and dear as a Sweet Caroline melody in the 8th, Bruschi’s burl and brawn carried the Patriots defense through more seasons in Foxborough...

SawxFawx — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:14:15 EDT

According to the AccuScore weekly report on Yahoo! Sports, the Red Sox 6-1 campaign last week boosted their chances of a wild card berth by almost 32%, which is great news going into a tough series with the Rays @ Tampa, and then meeting up with the ChiSox later this week. Jon Lester takes...

Before moving on to Chicago tonight, we'll briefly take a look at last night's loss that dropped the Sox back 7.5 games in the East. The head-to-head all-time series at Fenway Park is very close to being tied - this was the 902nd Boston game against the two rivals dating back to 1912 - and right...

There's Something About Brett

While Tom Brady's image was spreading across the silver screens of HBO’s Entourage, Brett Favre was sitting on his thumbs in a Mississippi mansion. We haven’t seen an on-screen performance from Favre since joining Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon in...

THE LATE EDITION of the Daily Examiner. Had to do it on TokBox this time, back to YouTube tomorrow.

Looking ahead to Texas - especially that minimal .5 game lead we have over the Rangers in the Wild Card! Enjoy your weekend RSN.

The Daily Examiner: Thursday August 13th

SawxFawx — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:12:06 EDT

It's unfortunate that the Sox couldn't steal the final game with the Tigers - but you have to give a hand to the young Justin Verlander - he outpitched Buchholz today with 8 strike outs to Clay's 3. Even still, the Sox are looking good going into this weekend's series at Texas - hopefully...

Quick wrap from Sunday's Yankee game - looking forward to tonight's match up.

As the Red Sox continue their struggles in New York tonight, potentially dropping 4 straight (falling 6.5 back in the AL East), we turn to our morning newspapers to assuage the pain and heartbreak. Hopefully, by tomorrow, Nick Cafardo will have more to report on the potential Cristian...

Inspired by SportsGal's rhythm and rhyme, I decided to write a poem that took me some time. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Shakespearean poetry - today's Daily Examiner is written in a rhythm called "iambic pentameter" - in which each line has either 10 or 11 syllables,...

Who's ready for the rivalry!?

The Daily Examiner: Wednesday August 5th

SawxFawx — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 21:25:06 EDT

Sorry for the delay! This one was a little ambitious on my part - but after a few takes I think I got it right. Too bad the Sox are already on their way to dropping 2 of 2 to the Devil Dogs.
