Living vicariously until spring

My emotions are going in several directions at this point in the 2025 season. I'm still sad over the Red Sox early exit from the playoffs; I really believed that we'd at least take the Yankees down. I don't feel the intense bitterness of, say, 2003-I'm just sad. Saturday's Toronto/New York ALDS game gave me a major case of the side-eyes too; why couldn't we get it together to score a bunch of runs against Yankee pitching?! Dammit, offense, where were you?

Has everyone forgotten about Triston Casas?

And speaking of injuries...we're talking about needing a big bat...why isn't anyone talking about Triston Casas? A lefty power hitter with a great eye? Is it because the Red Sox didn't actually need him to make the playoffs? But how much better would we have been with him on the roster, though, right? I'm not saying we shouldn't get add more to the lineup; we'd always benefit from that.

4 plays in a pivotal 4th inning doomed the Red Sox in a 4-0 Yankees Game 3 triumph

It started with a bloop double from Cody Bellinger that hit off Ceddanne Rafaela's glove and fell to the ground. It wasn't as egregious as Jarren Duran's misplay the night prior, but it was also a catchable ball if he had taken a more strategic route. Unlike Giancarlo Stanton earlier in the game, Bellinger was running from the start and managed to hustle to second.

Red Sox News & Links: Sox have Wild Card history on their side against Yanks

For however much I hate the Yankees, I always have to give them this: their fans are great losers. I don't mean this in the traditional sense of a gracious loser, someone who says "aww shucks, we'll get 'em next time" and offers to shake your hand - no, that's milquetoast and boring and I have no time for it. I mean that - generally speaking - they don't make excuses and, instead, go all in on eviscerating their own team with a fervor even we struggle to match (see, e.g., Mike Francesa's famous post-mortem after the 2004 ALCS).

New York loaded the bases with nobody out in the ninth inning, but All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman worked out of the jam against his former team.

How did the Red Sox 'B' become a symbol of Boston's identity?

Wickedpedia The Red Sox didn't always wear it, but the "B" is now Boston's most recognizable emblem. The Red Sox "B" is Boston. It's stitched on caps, printed on bumper stickers, and even tattooed on die-hard fans. For many, it's more than a team logo-it's a symbol for the city's grit and pride. But how did a single letter come to define Boston around the world?

OTM Open Thread 9/20: The Zombie Guardians just won't die

The Guardians have transformed into some kind of unkillable movie monster. They just cannot be stopped. The good thing for the Red Sox, though, is that they don't need to worry about the Guards if they keep winning. With the non-Crochet portion of the rotation looking shaky, last night felt like a must-win and the Sox got it done, even if Crochet didn't quite look like his best and the bullpen made it hairy at the end.
