Die Hard Fans

Listen, I’m a huge Red Sox fan, but I think this might be taking it over the top…

Tom Brady and the Heartbreakers…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

All I will say (before I never speak of this game again) is that the Giants outplayed the Patriots. The Patriots seemed different tonight. There was a lot more talk about destiny, dynasty, and being in an elite class than winning a game. (I will concede that this is all the media asked the Pats about for 2 weeks) Tom Brady didn’t look right. He wasn’t as accurate as he normally is. I think he was more hurt than the team let on. Tom can thread the needle better than anyone (with the possible exception of Dan Marino) and tonight … Read More

Goodbye “Devil”

Bob FranquizUncategorized

This report was funny. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have decided to drop “Devil” from their name and just go with “Rays”. For a team that is always finishing in last place, taking the “devil” out of the equation has got to be a step in the right direction.

OOOOHHHHHH YYYEEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!

World Series Champs!!!!!! They scared me a few times, but the Sox proved what they were made of as they dominated the Rockies!!!! I waited all my life to see the Sox win in 2004. Another title 3 years later is unbelievable!!!!

Only Bostonians Pray Like this…

My sister sent me this today… A REDSOX PRAYER Our Father, who art at Fenway… Baseball be thy game. They Kingdom come, Playoffs need to be won, On Earth, then on to the Cask ‘n’ Flagon. Give us this day, a perfect Papi, And forgive us our losses, As we forgive those, Like Bill Buckner. And lead us not, into desperation, But deliver us from any losses. For thine is the Power, And the Glory, To beat the Indians, Forever and ever….the Yankees suck A-men

Have The Red Sox Lost Their Mojo?

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I don’t want to talk about the ALCS. I keep saying to myself, “This isn’t happening… this isn’t happening! Remember 2004… remember 2004…” I’m about ready to break into a full blown depression. The Red Sox had the best record in baseball and they falling apart to a team that they crushed in the regular season. Anyway, I don’t want to talk about it!

Absolute Domination!

Josh Beckett threw a 4-hitter tonight as the Red Sox beat the Angels 4-0! He just overpowered them tonight! The Angels hitters looked lost tonight. The Red Sox hitters didn’t. John Lackey wasn’t fooling anyone. Good times!

We’re gonna Party like it’s 1995!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

That’s what I’m talking about! The last time we won the AL East Division title was 1995! It feels nice. There’s no stopping this team! We’re facing the Angels in the ALDS (reminds me of 2004 – can you say “sweep”?). In the immortal words of Clubber Lang, “I pity the fool!”

Oh Yes! A No-No!!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

In the 2nd Major League Start of his career, Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz threw a no-hitter tonight against the Orioles!!! This is exactly the catalyst that the Red Sox needed to take them into the post-season! There was a specific event in 2004 that got the Red Sox firing on all 8 cylinders. It was July 24th when A-Rod got a beat down by Jason Varitek (the picture of Tek hitting A-Rod in the face was my desktop for a long after that) and then coming back and beating the Yankees in the 9th inning sent the Red Sox … Read More
