From There to Here

I’m doing some homework tonight, rewatching Game 4 of the World Series on my Tivo, and I log onto boston.com finally expecting to see the site revert to its news-slant after about a week of having the “sports” frame come up before “news.”
The news frame came up first, but with the following headline: Final Series […]

Had to share a couple Mannyisms this morning that were too good to pass up:
Manny asked by a WBZ4 TV reporter this morning, “Which World Series win is sweeter?”
Manny’s cunning, politician-esque response?
“They’re both sweeter, man.”
AND from the other night, after the Sox won Game 3, he came out with this gem. I meant to post […]

Three years and one day after we won the World Series, we did it again.
Two championships in four seasons.
For six games in a row, we went to the Baseball Tavern. We watched. We cheered. We got pissed. But we won. All of them. Since we started heading there down 3-2 in the ALCS, we won […]

Curt Schilling.
If that was your last start in a Red Sox uniform, thanks for the memories. If the Sox can finish this thing up, you can punch your ticket to Cooperstown.

So I get home from work today, open my e-mail box up, and I get a invite from stupid Travelocity for “special, last-minute fares.”
“Bill,” I hear you saying, “why the hate? Travelocity is great! It provides last-minute fares for cheap, and many times, you can save by booking your flight and hotel together!”
But here’s […]

Game One of the World Series is tonight in Boston, Massachusetts for the second time in four seasons. That’s incredible.
More incredible? Until I looked at the Globe tonight, I didn’t realize how big Youk, Ortiz and Manny — our 2, 3, 4 hitters — have been in the postseason.
Now, I just calculated most of these […]

So after the Sox won in Cleveland, they brought the series back to Boston.
Schilling won Game 6 as Chris, Jeff, others and I screamed our lungs out at Baseball Tavern on Boylston. Nikhil got back from being out of town and joined Chris, Jeff, Pags, me and a bunch of the other guys and girls […]

I’m on the couch, watching the Red Sox, wearing some sweatpants and just hoping we can bring this series back to Boston on Saturday night.
It’s 1-1 in the third. Beckett’s looked good. Sabathia’s looked good. Another run or two for either team will probably decide this thing. Let’s hope we’re the team that gets it.
I […]

Today at work, I actually used the phrase “He’s trying to blow up my spot.”
More ridiculous?
Yeah, I was talking about a kid at school.
Here’s to hoping the Sox can blow up the Indians’ spot a little later tonight…

Max Buck.
I was at work today when I came across the name. If he ever wants to do something else, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what kind of movies he could be in.
And for those of you wondering of where my new team name, Mike Rowe Katsaks, came from, check out the below […]
