Get the weekend wrap from a fan that isn't afraid to tell it how it is!
"I'm so happy. I'm happy for the fans in Boston, I'm happy for Johnny Pesky, for Bill Buckner, for (Bob) Stanley and (Calvin) Schiraldi and all the great Red Sox players who can now be remembered for the great players that they were."-2004 Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling
I think if you're Red Sox, well, it's something you're born with, and affection you have." - Johnny Pesky

Thursday 5/25 Beckett achieves "Stud" status
It's official Josh Beckett has been declared a "Stud". This has nothing to do with his boyish good looks folks. When a man calls another man a "stud" in the sports world it usually means he has achieved some sort of greatness. Last night Josh Beckett became a stud in our book. His fourth straight win included 7K's, 0ER's, 1BB, & 4 Hits. It was a studly performance no doubt.
Sox roll over D'Rays 4-1
(For those of you that have inquired about the stud status of Papelpon he has also been anointed as a official stud after picking up his 16th save of the season with a ridiculous 0.36 ERA)

From Traitor, to "Johnny Demon", to a patronizing "Johnny..Johnny"
and other harsh criticism that is not suitable for this website, he heard
it all.
Some did applaud Johnny but they were overshadowed by the
boo birds.
Fenway Was Very Chilly
(45 Degrees, Felt Like 35 With Wind Chill)
But still about 85% full into the 9th.
Mirabelli Gives Wakefield Much Needed Confidence
Newly acquired
Doug Mirabelli arrived at the ballpark about 15 minutes before game time.
He received a police escort to the park and had to change in the car on
the way over. Doug received a huge standing ovation to start the game.
Doug was 0-4 but made a great throw to second to catch a stealing Yankee.
His presence was felt behind the plate where he didn't let up any passed
balls. Welcome back Doug!
