Sean Casey

The Red Sox have the best offense of any AL playoff team

The Hardball Times (Free subscription) | 10/01/2008

Okay, no surprise there. Pursuant to yesterday's post, I did the AL teams as well: likely roster, likely lineups, and current Marcel projections. Red Sox: 5.67 runs per game (Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay, Mark Kotsay, Sean Casey, Jason Varitek, Jed Lowrie). LA Angels: 5.48 runs per game (Chone Figgins, Garret Anderson, Mark Teixeira, Vladimir Guerrero, Torii...

Ortiz out, Casey in

Extra Bases (Free subscription) | 09/27/2008

Sean Casey is now listed as tonight's (hypothetical) first baseman, and David Ortiz will get the night off. But then again, there's a man with a long beard in centefield rounding up two of every beast he can find. They could pencil in Carlos Quintana for first base and it would carry about as much relavence. The new (hypothetical) Sox lineup: 1. Ellsbury, CF 2. Lowrie, SS 3. Lowell, DH 4. Youkilis,...

Good and Bad: Yankees out, Red Sox in

Camden Chat (Free subscription) | 09/24/2008

Sean Casey, key member of the 2008 Boston Red Sox, celebrates heartily (pictured). To be fair, Casey is super clutch (.432 career postseason hitter)! With the playoff clinching of the Red Sox , though, comes the joyful and official elimination of the New York Yankees (note: nothin' doin' at Pinstripe Alley as of this writing). You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have...

An explanation from Francona

Extra Bases (Free subscription) | 09/21/2008

If you watched the game today, you may have been asking yourself the same question as commenter CatsDuck while you (angrily, presumably) switched off your TV. Sayeth CatsDuck: Why not have Sean Casey come in to pinch hit for [Alex] Cora with men at 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs in the 8th? Then you move Lowrie to SS, Youkilis to 3rd and Casey stays in at first. That, actually, was not a consideration, Francona....

The little things

Extra Bases (Free subscription) | 09/13/2008

MVP-type numbers notwithstanding, Paul Byrd (and possibly every other Sox pitcher) loves Dustin Pedroia for the little things. For instance, the play Pedroia made on a dribbler by Joe Inglett. It was the kind of tweener that got the attention of Sean Casey at first and also drew Byrd off the mound, but Pedroia came from second, scooped it and shoveled it to Casey without even bothering to use his...

PIttsburgh Beer Lovers: Volunteer this weekend!

I got the following from Sean Casey, owner of Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh. Sean has been a leader in the fight against the inflationary and unfair 10% "poured drink" tax in Allegheny County. You must know my position on booze taxes by now: We pay enough now . If a government service is of benefit to the entire public, then the entire public should pay for it. This tax has been misrepresented by...
