Bring the Crazy: May 2007
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Another night, another win. Josh Beckett returns from the DL and pitches a gem as the Sox beat the Smiling Racists. 4-2 on Tuesday night. After dropping two-of-three in the NYC last weekend against the comatose Yankees, the Sox have reeled off five straight wins againt Texas and Cleveland. They are already 21 games over .500. Let's crunch some numbers. Even crazier, the Royals, Rangers, Cardinals, and Reds have won less games. If you didn't sign Clemens to pitch in games like thi...

Bring the Crazy: The Useless Countdown Juego Uno Update: 12 Balls for Manny
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/useless-countdown-juego-uno-update-12.html
Saturday, October 13, 2007. The Useless Countdown Juego Uno Update: 12 Balls for Manny. Here's the current update on the quests of Kenny Lofton and Manny Ramirez to unseat Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams on the All-Time LCS records list. It was a big night for Manny - 2 hits, 3 walks, 2 runs, 3 RBIs. He moved into a tie with Jeter on the all-time walks list. 1st place all-time: Bernie Williams, 31. 2nd all-time: Derek Jeter, 25. Kenny Lofton, 22 (0). Manny Ramirez, 18 (2). Kenny Lofton, 41 (2). 4th place...

Bring the Crazy: The Useless Countdown Targets Bernie Williams & Derek Jeter
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/useless-countdown-targets-bernie.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. The Useless Countdown Targets Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter. As a Red Sox fan I've seen way too much of Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter over the years. I've got a lot of respect for the two guys, and looking through the all-time LCS records. It's not hard to see the impact they had on all those Yankees' titles and title-runs. The two prime assailants of Bernie and Jeter's rankings are Kenny Lofton and Manny Ramirez. Here are the categories and the relative rankings:. Twenty...

Bring the Crazy: Game 5: The Last Red Sox At-Bats for Manny, Lowell, Soggy, Lugo, & Drew?
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/game-5-last-red-sox-at-bats-for-manny.html
Thursday, October 18, 2007. Game 5: The Last Red Sox At-Bats for Manny, Lowell, Soggy, Lugo, and Drew? Let's play the bad analogy game. Having your team be down 3-1 in a series is a bit like hoping you hit the match on a pinball game so you can get a free credit to keep playing - it's not really likely to happen, but that doesn't mean you don't stand at the machine and wait expectantly for the set of numbers to roll on by. Every once in a while, you get a match and get to keep playing. They've got to pla...

Bring the Crazy: Cleveland Does Not Rock Tonight
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/cleveland-does-not-rock-tonight.html
Monday, October 22, 2007. Cleveland Does Not Rock Tonight. It all feels very unfair and unjust and wrong. From 2004 and now, in 2007, I can tell you it feels very much right when you're on the other side. An enjoyable series. Can't believe the Sox are back in the World Series. They'd only been once in my memory pre-2004 and now they've been there twice in four years. Here's the final Useless Countdown update for the all-time LCS records:. 1st place all-time: Bernie Williams, 31. Kenny Lofton, 24 (0).

Bring the Crazy: Ugly One Gets Away
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/ugly-one-gets-away.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. Ugly One Gets Away. What an awful game. Cleveland 13, Sox 6. Few losses are more aggravating for me than an extra-innings blowout. Especially an American League playoff game that's 34 hours long to begin with and ends with team fan whipping gnome Eric Gagne digging the hole that former fan favorite Trot Nixon fills in. Oh yeah, and it takes place after one in the frigging morning. I'm going to love watching Scott Boras try to sell teams on Eric Gagne this off-season. 2nd place a...

Bring the Crazy: Josh Beckett is Not Remotely Interested in Being Average
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/josh-beckett-is-not-remotely-interested.html
Saturday, October 13, 2007. Josh Beckett is Not Remotely Interested in Being Average. Sox 10, Smiling Racists 3. The game was the fun kind of boring once Mike Lowell doubled Youk and Papi in - not too much suspense but Beckett's big-time performance and the offensive attack (all starters managed a hit) kept my attention without keeping me riveted. I'll take that every night. Two big stories emerge from the game: Beckett and the Papi/Manny Show. The post-game didn't change things. Clemens always seeme...

Bring the Crazy: Have the Playoffs Started Yet?
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/have-playoffs-started-yet.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Have the Playoffs Started Yet? Well, that was a disappointing first round of the playoffs. What looked like four intriguing series turned into four routs, so while an individual game here or there had some drama there was none in any series. Because the DBacks are a pretty dull team. There's not a lot of storylines FOX can sell with Arizona:. Hey, did you know Tony Clark is STILL PLAYING? How long until the Yankees buy him? Come watch the Drew brother that doesn't suck! Becau...

Bring the Crazy: Orlando Cabrera Defies the Useless Countdown
http://bringthecrazy.blogspot.com/2007/10/orlando-cabrera-defies-useless.html
Monday, October 1, 2007. Orlando Cabrera Defies the Useless Countdown. Orlando Cabrera did not pass Tim McCarver on the all-time Home Run List. No, instead of breaking the record, Cabrera decides to hold us all hostage until next year. Good job, O. Maybe we won't even remember your silly little pursuit next year. Or maybe you'll rub it in everyone's face and hit a HR a game in the playoffs. Posted by Mark Bousquet. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And the Award for Most Racist Fans Goes to . Game 5: T...
