Everyone, I’ve made a deal with a devil. I promised a Yankees fan that I’d get a beer with her on Opening Day, when the rivalry renews. If I don’t survive, remember…I love you all.
- Stephen Drew‘s concussed, and Pedro Ciriaco isn’t a viable candidate for the starting job at shortstop. Now, it’s Jose Iglesias‘ time to shine. (Door open for Jose Iglesias)
- Sure, John Farrell doesn’t have noted bro Brett Lawrie anymore, but that doesn’t mean his plans on defending against lefty pull hitters are going to, ahem, shift any. (Can Dustin Pedroia be John Farrell’s new Brett Lawrie?)
- For the first time in what seems like a long time, David Ortiz does the one thing we always love seeing him do: swing away. (David Ortiz Resumes Swinging)

- Ryan Dempster wasn’t going to be amazing forever. Sometimes, you learn more from defeats than victories. (Dempster takes his first lumps)
- Jackie Bradley will not play in left field. “But Brett,” you cry, “why not? He’s an outfielder, right?” Well, it’s simple, really – Bradley’s actually never started in left since being drafted. (Farrell: No plans to play Bradley Jr. in left field)
- When’s the last time John Olerud‘s name popped up on your screen? Years? Then here’s something to break that streak. (Out-Of-Character Season: American League East)
- THROW ‘IM IN THE SLAMMAH! (Last Week Was The Time To Lock Up Dustin Pedroia)
Well, now that I think about it, getting that beer won’t be so bad. The presentation on The Ten Commandments that I have to do afterwards, however…
