I know a lot of you all are worried yet again cause the Red Sox have dropped a game or two, or three. But not to fear!

The boys of summer are just going through a little spring fever and pretty soon those bats will be roaring and the pitching will be humming, and....is that a car I hear..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Where was I? Oh yeah, the Red Sox.

You know what, so we dropped a couple to a team named the Angels! So what do you expect?
 With a name like that they obviously have a big guy behind them and I don't mean Tony Reagins, neither, you know what I mean?

Then they were so close tonight with Tim Wakefield getting a no-decision in the 11-inning, 5-4 loss to the Rays. Weren't they called the Devil Rays before?
There see another heavy hitter in their midst! And you wonder why we couldn't produce on all the scoring chances we had!

No Worries Red Sox nation, I Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of mystery, have all the confidence in our boys!
Pretty soon the only thing to worry about is where we gonna put that other piece of hardware!

Anyway Big Papi is looking better everyday, Manny is being Manny, and hopefully Beckett and Lowell will be all healed up pretty soon!
Honestly Bean-town the only thing missing now is me, Buddie the Dog, side by side commentating like with Mr. Prez Rem Dawg.
Ah, I can see it now. Mr. Prez  sharing his witty satire and commentary and me enjoy peanuts and crackerjacks! What could be better? A Fenway frank, maybe?

What? What do you mean they call them hot dogs? What kind of sick, twisted person would eat a hot dog? What? Oh, he, he, I knew that! Do not be ridiculous of course I knew they were made from beef!
What beef comes from where? Seriously Dude you are wickedly grossing me out here!

So today for the true blue doggie effort shown by Mr. Tim Wakefield, I Buddie the dog name him the K-9 of the game!
Mr. Wakefield for all you do, this bone is for you!
Yeah I know, I am working on it! Give me a break for Pete's sakes I am a dog. A smart dog at that, but none the less a dog. I am working on a slogan of my own!

Anyway this is Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of Red Sox nation signing out from an undisclosed location. Peace, flea free-zones and bow-wow to you!

PS
Go Suffolk University Rams!!!

Finally I have been proven right! I, Buddie, Buddie the dog of mystery, has argued for dog years that the leaner, faster more versatile baseball player was the way to go for the Red Sox. The way Pedroia has been performing is a huge testament to the power and ability of the player who is more compactly built!

I can attest that due to my light physique and streamline stature that I can run the bases in record time! I can catch a pop up in lightning speed! Unfortunately the pop in my bat needs a little work and the blatant discrimination against canines in the majors has kept me from making it to the big show! Mr. Prez Rem Dawg, can you help a canine out?

Of course because of this, everyone assumed that because of this, to say the least, I was just being bias.

But the reality is, look at past examples!

Who can forget the "dinobot" antics of Jose Canseco in the outfield? True, once in a great while you would see the explosive bat hit one over the wall, but did that make up for the errors in the outfield?
Even I, as a canine, was embarrassed for Canseco when the ball dinged him in the nugget before going over the wall!
 Honestly, dude, my cousin the pekingese could have caught that one!
 
With the whole steroid and juicing controversy as well, it seems that the day of "real" ball players is long over due.
Players like Pedroia, Ellsbury, and Lugo, to name a few, bring a new excitement to Major league baseball that I felt had been lacking for a while.

With their explosive speed, amazing aerobatic catches and just plain athletic ability it makes for some awesome baseball highlight moments!

I am glad to see that maybe Major league baseball might finally realize that this is not the NBA, you do not need players that are all over six feet plus or 200 plus pounds to win world series!

Granted there are players that have the height and the mass while still being agile. But judging a player by their height before even seeing their playing ability is just plain bad business sense.

Red Sox's hot shot Theo Epstein definitely has the right business savvy by developing players in our own farm system instead of paying big bucks to another organization for the finished product.
In reality is it not better to groom players to our organization's specifications and philosophy instead of trying to re-mold them after someone else has tried to train them their way?

I know that J.D. Drew is a great player, but in all honesty has he really been worth the money the Red Sox paid for him?

I know I know, everyone struggles when they first get to Fenway. I myself find it a tough park to run around in!
I have heard it all, about the wall, the crowd, the configuration of the park. But I would rather have a rookie who is making less that 250K struggle at Fenway, than someone with the endless zeros attached to their paycheck!

Yes I know I am just a dog, what do I know? Well, I know enough to say that Mr. Epstein is a baseball marketing and rookie grooming genius!

So today Mr. Epstein and Mr. Pedroia, I Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of mystery, name you two, the K-9's  of the game!
For all you do, this bone is for you!
I better get my own slogan, before those equestrian  types start trying to sue me!
Anyway once again signing out from a top secret undisclosed location, this is Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of mystery and baseball. Peace, flea-free zones and Bow-wow to you!
   

Although I am new to blogging here, I have a long history as a professional blogger.
 I agree dog years move quicker than human ones, none the less, because of this, I feel that my month as a blogging sensation on the world wide web are equivalent to several years of human experience.

With that said even though I feel that I,Buddie the dog, should have been president of Red Sox nation, I am graciously conceding my defeat to Mr. Rem Dawg.
I also promise to offer him my full support from one fellow canine to another. I do not mean any "cattiness" when I point out that even though his canine status is only honorary, we in the canine world have the utmost respect for him. We know him to have some of the most respected  canine values.  He is loyal, amusing, fun to play with and loves to have his belly rubbed.
Do not worry Mr. President Rem Dawg, there is no shame in admitting that you are a proud member of the belly rubbing club.
Just remember if you ever have an opening in your administration for a top notch security specialist, I Buddie..Buddie the dog, Dog of mystery am your..dog!

Now onto the business of Red Sox nation.

Honestly humans back off poor David Ortiz! I know he is only batting .111 right now, so what?  He might be getting off to a slow start this season but as you can see by his performance in tonight's game, he still got the batting magic.
Big Papi has always pulled through in a pinch and I see no reason to believe he  won't do that again!
The Red Sox are in first place in our division and it is okay for big name players like Papi to have  a slow start once in a while. 
From what I can see, he is literally just getting started and I have no doubt that he will continue to be a solid player and a major contributor in the line up.

As a matter of fact I am so sure of Big Papi's continued success that I am going to name him-
Buddie the dog's honorary K-9 of the game!
Yes, I know, it is a big honor! I am sure that Mr. Ortiz will be so honored that he will have his people contact my canines to make sure that he will be present at the awards ceremony.

So for doing what you do best and shutting up your critics, Big Papi this bone is for you!
Signing out from an undisclosed location this is Buddie...Buddie the dog, dog of mystery and literature, signing out until next time!  Peace, flea-free zones and Bow-Wow to you!
