Comment on: Red Sox blow 9th inning lead to Orioles - Red Sox - Boston.com
Mitch Williams on MLB Channel said that the fault on that pitch to McLouth that wasn't called a strike was the catcher's for not turning his glove the right way and framing it for the umpire. Regardle more »

Comment on: Is Running the Boston Marathon Good for You? - Boston Medical Mysteries - Boston.com
So the chances of a heart attack are low, but the hospitals along the route consider this a "mass casualty event?" I'd be interested in hearing what a more experienced (objective) cardiologist would s more »

Comment on: Roger Ebert, a movie critic who spoke to both heart and mind - Boston.com
What's that maxim that if you have nothing good to say about people when they die, you should keep your mouth shut? I didn't always agree with Roger, but Ty is absolutely right about his importance to more »

Comment on: Old-school, new-school: Which fitness trends are worth your time? - Get Moving - Boston.com
So let me see if I have this straight--this guy (the author) is not only a bad writer, but he's a bad trainer, too? Really, the credo at any age has to be "exercise smart." This goes for professional more »

Comment on: Red Sox: David Ortiz wonât come back before his time - Red Sox - Boston.com
What's startling is that Ortiz doesn't even have to play a position. He's a DH. He just has to run the bases a couple of times (maybe) a game. And he can't even do that? Anyone who has ever had foot p more »

Comment on: Why was there so much more snow than predicted - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
This blog provides a tremendous service in terms of deconstructing weather forecasting, which is an inexact science at best. There's nothing else quite like it in the northeastern cities and I apprec more »

Comment on: Tom Brady: 'They earned it' - Extra Points - Boston.com
The Patriots were really beaten to a pulp in this game by the Ravens. Baltimore took over in the second half and that's what good teams do. Should have known that any team that could beat Denver in D more »

Comment on: Francona: Red Sox owners don't love baseball - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Hmm...think Steinbrenner LOVED baseball. He loved WINNING. And he loved MONEY. The two are usually not mutally exclusive...the problem is how tone deaf the owners have become to the marketplace precis more »

Comment on: Even after Newtown, no law can abolish human evil - Opinion - The Boston Globe
What a cop out. Yes, everyone is reacting, as they did after 9-11. But significant changes came out of that massacre, and significant changes should come from this as well. I don't know if it's the t more »

Philly papers are pitching Ellsbury for Vance Worley deal. 1-year tryout for Ellsbury in Philly vs. cheap, young backend starter for the Sox. Ought to work for both sides. As a Philly fan, I love Vict more »

Comment on: Wilbur Wood savors R.A. Dickeyâs Cy Young award from the sidelines - Baseball - Boston.com
I remember Wilbur Wood--I think in one of those seasons, he had a record of 24-20. I think he was the last one (perhaps the only one) to both win and lose 20 games in the same season...

Comment on: Enablers are at the heart of the problems with the Red Sox - Boston Sports Blog - Boston.com
In their dying gasp to defend the Red Sox, some people are starting to compare them to the Phillies and their disappointing season this year. As a longtime (suffering) Phils fan, I must respond. Altho more »

Comment on: 'Valentine quickly making the rounds'
Please...EVERY other team seeking a manager had a shot at Bobby Valentine over the last 10 YEARS, and only the Red Sox are "brilliant" enough to hire him?? This "Smartest Guy in the Room" thing should more »

And so St. Valentine boards the good ship Red Sox. Of course, St. Valentine is best known for a massacre, aka the 2002 Mets. Probably the only player happy about this move is Dice K. That is, assuming more »

Comment on: Nearly 40,000 in Massachusetts still without power - Metro Desk - Local news updates from The Boston Globe
I just got my power back after 6 days. I didn't see a single repair truck in my area for 5 days. There was no specific word from National Grid on when power would be restored (right up until it happen more »

Comment on: 'Lester’
Despite what some fans think, this is a HUGE deal, because it affects the BRAND, not just the team. The BRAND is what drives the bus these days--it's where all the money comes from. If you think the f more »

Comment on: Jon%20Lester%20speaks%20out%20about%20beer%20in%20the%20clubouse%2C%20Francona%20and%20other%20issues
So is Lester is saying that the pitchers gained weight during the season because they were in the weight room? Look at Texas; St Louis; the Phillies. I don't see anybody's pitchers gaining substantial more »

Comment on: 'Theo Epstein's departure latest sign on chaos with Red Sox'
Many Boston fans here seem to be in a state of denial about this team, which is typical...Yes, the team won 90 games, but with a $161 million payroll and a finish out of the playoffs, that is a major more »

Comment on: Red Sox did this to themselves - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
A couple of points to consider: For some reason, even in this day and age, African-American starting players do not thrive in Boston. The last African-American starter to have great numbers was Mo Vau more »

Comment on: Red%20Sox%20could%20use%20a%20little%20urgency
As a long suffering Phillies fan, I offer: the Phillies are the new Red Sox. And the Red Sox are the new Phillies (of the historic 10,000 loss variety). Consider: They both have had the same manager. more »

Comment on: 'Down cycle'
Has anyone thought about the fact that the Sox are 2-1 against the Yankees and 0-8 against the rest of the league so far? That's just...whacked. more »

Comment on: 'Predators movie review -- Predators showtimes'
I'm with the first poster--it's "Walton Goggins," not "Walter." Considering that the guy won an Oscar a few years back for a short film, Wesley ought to know this. But it may not be his fault. Someone more »

I am simply flabbedrgasted.What a pile of horse puckey this show turned out to be. "Lost" was always about plot (ALWAYS), and they decided to go with character (i.e. give the fans what they want)in th more »
Boy, the Kool-Aid is out in full force this morning! The fact is, the Red Sox played a lot of bad teams early and got some easy wins. Several of those teams have picked it up of late (including Toront more »
