RedSox's Bio

Redsoxmaniac.com

My main site is RedSoxmaniac.Com and soon to be Gdwire.com . I currently write on the side as well. Most of my writing is based on the love of the game, and not always rooting for my beantown teams. If you need weekly picks for any sport, I can run you up some guarantees.

I like doing projects of all kinds. If you have anything you would like to interest me, from sports to business to roaming pandas, feel free to email me. If I critique you, its usually because you are too subjective in your understanding of sports, and fail to see the big picture.

This happens to me as well, and hope someone shoots me down if I offer to slanted an ideology on a specific topic. I probably won't concede to the current Manny-bashing. He's an ass, but there would be more suicides in Red Sox nation if he wasn't around the last few years. Very few fans remember how close they were to ending their lives after Game 3 in 2004. Remember where we have been, and how far we have gotten since. And remember who was our WS MVP in 2004. Remember. Don't forget. Or you suck.

Favorite Sports Teams

Four Sports Beantown Baby!
All Time Sports Moment

By far the entire Red Sox vs. Oakland Game 5 in 2003. If you ever get a chance to see it, watch it. The most underrated game in the history of sports.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Celtics vs. Denver I believe. Greg Minor hit a shot with .4 seconds left to win the game. Too poor to attend many games, so I cherish them all
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

61 homeruns by Roger Maris
Ruth or Mays?

Mays; its hard to play when you still don't earn enough respect to drink at the same fountain. Little tougher I guess.
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas. There was no Wide Receiver template before him.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan. Why ask?
Gretzky or Orr?

Crosby
Pele or Maradona?

Wish I watched enough Soccer, but Pele is sick
Federer or Sampras?

Same
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?

Biffleq
Schumacher or Senna?

Huh?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure I know enough/can find enough info on Guthrie, but that's a great idea.

I could do an article about the pitchers from Stanford in that period (1997-2005) and try to figure out why the guys who were most impressive in college weren't the ones who made it in the pros.

Guys like Kyle Peterson, Jeff Austin, Justin Wayne, Jason Young, Joe Borchard, Guthrie, etc.

your thoughts...where was the Comeback Player during that Miami/Baltimore games, Red Sox Maniac?
by jeff
10 months ago

my mistake about NE - i had thought they got a wild card. there's something wrong when an 11-5 team doesn't get into the playoffs.

i agree the Jets blew a great season, but that doesn't fall JUST on Favre. it's a team effort and the TEAM will agree with me that they ALL share in the blame. Mangini will get the ax today, i'm certain.

regarding Chad and Miami, i was 95% sure they'd beat the Jets, albeit a close game. however, to say make any references (not referring to you but just in general) that the Jets should've kept Chad isn't logical thinking. just because he performed well at Miami doesn't mean he wouild've had the same results at NY. he was there last year and they went 4-12. Brett, along with others, helped to double the Jets' wins. does that mean i'm satisfied with how the season turned out? no. but to pin ALL that on Brett is unfair. there were plenty of dropped balls in yesterday's game by Jets' receiver, as well as throws slightly off by Favre. AND Brett was under pressure - as usual - the entire game. Chad wasn't.

nice. why are you pushing your article down my throat? i already told you weeks ago i wasn't interested. i realize you're gloating but perhaps you're not hearing me. i wasn't interested in reading it before and i'm not interested in it now. has nothing to do with how the Jets' season turned out. they coulda went on to the playoffs and won the SB and i wouldn't have read it.

you're pushy. too pushy for my taste. good luck in the playoffs. if NE falls hard i'll make sure to check in with you to pour salt in your wound. boston-area teams...guess i'm assuming you're a NE fan. i could be wrong.

as riveting as the Magic 8 Ball you have tucked under your arm pit? i'll pass.
by jeff

you can't say that the Jets would've been better if Chad had stayed. you just can't. you have a magic 8 ball around or something? than give it to me. YOU CAN'T KNOW THAT. just like i can't say, as much as i would like to, that the Packers would've had a better record with Favre.

you can not predict the future with certainty, my wise friend. you can't. fine - who's gonna win the SB? tell me right now. i mean, you're so positive about other things, tell me who'll win the SB.

and i never read your article to which you are referring so, "no", i don't remember you saying that Brett hinders the Jets supremecy.
by jeff

the Jets were 4-12 last year. Favre has helped them - just like the other acquisitions the team made. you pinning the Seattle loss solely on Brett? interesting. so you feel that the Jets would've been "supreme" without Brett then? interesting. and you then believe that the other 10 players on offense and the players on defense don't matter? interesting.
