Another first for Tim Wakefield
By adamg - 9/9/10 - 10:16 amFarewell, Tim
By adamg - 10/1/09 - 7:45 amDenton wishes Tim Wakefield well, after what may have been his last start for the Red Sox:
... In his 15 seasons with the Sox, Wake has compiled 175 wins, 1,867 strikeouts and 22 saves. He has done whatever was asked of him: starting on short rest, coming out of the bullpen and even closing. Off the field, Wake has been even better. He has been a tireless contributor to the Jimmy Fund, stayed completely scandal-free and just been an all-around nice guy. ...
Tim Wakefield done for the season?
By adamg - 9/5/09 - 5:40 pmWatching him try to hobble to first at one point and then, even worse, trying to walk from one end of the dugout to the other to get to the clubhouse was just really painful. I can only imagine what it felt like for him!
The Ballad of Tim Wakefield
By adamg - 5/20/09 - 2:24 pmAfter watching last night's 2-1 win, Bill Janovitz of Buffalo Tom wrote and sang an ode to Wake:
Dylan has written all about Catfish
I may never write like Bobby, WAKE like Pedro won't pitch
But true Red Sox fans will always know what they wish
To have nine players just like Timmy Wakefield
Nine players just like Timmy Wakefield
Give me nine players just like Timmy Wakefield

Wakefield turns into stopper as Sox finally give him runs

Red: Screw the JFK conspiracy:
... Tim Wakefield's the real riddle wrapped inside an enigma wrapped inside a damn fine French pastry. One day he's Cy Young, the next he's Matt Young. One minute I'm cursing his name to the heavens, the next I'm calling him up, asking if he'd like me to put a fresh coast of wax on his fancy sports cars. ...
When will Wake get his 2,000th career strikeout?

A win's a win, but, uh, oh
By adamg - 7/18/06 - 8:03 amKristen is forced to admit that Mirabelli is a stud, but she is worried this morning:
... In fact, I would rather be packed into a crowded T in 98 degree weather with eight thousand drunk Yankee fans on "Don't Shower For Luck Day" then deal with so much uncertainty in the Wakefield-occupied part of our pitching rotation. ...
Jennifer Garrett, however, is loving the thought of Big Papi stealing second.
Returning to the Doug-as-studmuffin theme, Beth writes that a city beset with Big-Dig and heat woes needed Mirabelli last night:
... I personally believe that Dougie's Stud Bomb saved possibly as many as two workplaces from shootings tomorrow, and at least a half dozen road rage deaths. ...
