I am not sure there are really any words to explain this from the end of the TBS postgame coverage after Game 2 of the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays.

At least they all agree they were brutal.

Just a real quick video look back at the Red Sox and Rays in the 2008 regular season courtesy of the fine musical montage makers at NESN.

It seems just like yesterday when we were waking up at 5 AM here on the east coast to catch the Boston Red Sox take on the Oakland A’s in the Tokyo Dome to open up the 2008 regular season. Now, a 162 games later, we are getting ready for what we hope will be a memorable 2008 postseason and a 3rd ring in 5 years.

Don’t forget, the Red Sox rally at Fenway Park kicks off at 4 PM today. If you can’t make it to Fenway, NESN has you covered with live coverage of the event with highlights of the event to be posted later here at SOX & Dawgs.

As you might expect, the fine musical montage makers at NESN have put together a final montage for the Boston Red Sox regular season. Enjoy it folks.

Wednesday night in the 9th inning of the Boston Red Sox 5-4 win over the Cleveland Indians with Tribe outfielder Shin-Soo Choo facing Manny Delcarmen, Choo was called out on a pitch that was really outside.  But the best part of the whole call was the analysis from NESN color commentator, Jerry Remy who said “all Choo could do was bend over and touch his knees”.

So in essence I guess Choo just took it RemDawggie style.

Before the game tonight, the fine musical montage makers at NESN graced us with not 1 but 2 Josh Beckett musical montages. Enjoy them folks.

During their summer concert at LeLacheur Field, home of the Lowell Spinners, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones paid tribute to Carl Yastrzemski and 1967 Boston Red Sox, known around these parts as the “Impossible Dream Team”.
