Bosox Injections: March 2008
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. The following is the transcript of Red Sox Manager Terry Francona's controversial remarks after the "Iceberg Classic" on November 20th, 2008.). You're asking me if it was "special? Yeah, it was special. The whole damn season was special. First, there was the trip to Japan. That was great. Papelbon. Where is MLB going to have us play next, a VOLCANO? Yeah, it's been a real special season. That's all I have to say.". Thursday, March 27, 2008. Glares, but does not speak). You were no...

Bosox Injections: The Return of the Schill
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008/07/return-of-schill.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2008. The Return of the Schill. The following was originally published in the Boston Globe, on October 25th, 2008.). Forget about the Bloody Sock. Curt Schilling has a new legacy. When Schilling had surgery on June 23, it appeared likely that his career was over. Even the most optimistic estimates had him at least a year away from a possible return to the MLB level.

Bosox Injections: December 2008
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 6, 2008. The diminutive former infielder pulled his bedraggled form onto the barstool. The bartender sidled over. "The usual, MVP? Dustin Pedroia winced, as the inquiry brought unwanted memories to the forefront of his thoughts. "I told you never to call me that", Pedroia snapped, sending the barkeep scampering for cover. Monday, December 1, 2008. He needed 180 different neckties, one for each regular-season game the Red Sox would play in 2029, and would receive at least that many toda...

Bosox Injections: November 2008
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2008. Luck is the residue of design. Last time I was here, they thanked me for wearing pants! Epstein's self-analysis was interrupted by the buzz of his cell phone. He smirked when he realized the identity of the caller. Theo, man, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. My grandmother died. Don't worry about it, Manny. I am sorry for your loss. I want to come back to Boston, boss. I love Boston. I want to retire a Red Sox. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Dustin Pedroia was select...

Bosox Injections: July 2008
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 6, 2008. The following was originally posted in the Boston Herald on October 4th, 2008.). In baseball, as in many sports, the difference between a playoff team and a non playoff team is often one player. In the case of the 2008 Red Sox, it was one mid-July acquisition who turned a weakness into a strength. Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein paid a heavy price on July 19th, but the AL East title would not have been won without that move. Projected setup man Hideki Okajima appeared to be suf...

Bosox Injections: The Return of The Curse
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008/04/return-of-curse.html
Thursday, April 24, 2008. The Return of The Curse. The following is an excerpt from the opening chapter of CHB's "The Return of The Curse." Published in December 2011, after the Boston Red Sox won their 5th consecutive World Championship, it examines how one week in April 2008 set the tone for a modern baseball dynasty.). I'm pretty surprised CHB's publisher sent me a review copy of the book. They must have looked at the blog label list, and not read any of the content in this space. Fire Brand of the AL.

Bosox Injections: This is not the Greatest Post in the World, it is just a Tribute
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008/11/this-is-not-greatest-post-in-world-it.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This is not the Greatest Post in the World, it is just a Tribute. Dustin Pedroia was selected by the Baseball Writers With Votes as the 2008 AL MVP. Not a bad selection. He had an excellent year. The correct selection was teammate Kevin Youkilis, however. (Or, maybe, it was Joe Mauer.) But, Pedroia was a reasonable choice. He was certainly one of the top three possible choices. Without a doubt, he was in the Top 10. Right? What say you, Evan? Mostest Home Runs (MHR). Nope Milt...

Bosox Injections: Enshrinement
http://bosoxinjections.blogspot.com/2008/12/enshrinement.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. Loved Christmas Day. He had lived through seventy-five Christmas Days, each one better than the one that preceded it. Mostly, he looked forward to the neckties. Oh, how he loved the neckties! Jim Rice switched off Virtual Bill James long before James reached the letter "R." Rice didn't need to watch the "Methodology Monologue" to know why he hadn't been selected. He had heard the reasons before. He hadn't been dominant for a long enough period. His greatest skill...Rice smiled, ...
