So, for the second straight Tuesday, the Red Sox do not play a game. At all. Why must you toy with us, MLB schedule makers? We Sox fans love baseball too, in case you forgot about that…
- The perennial warms-your-heart journey of Daniel Nava continues. In this chapter, he starts his season off with a bang once again. (It’s Time To Stop Underestimating Daniel Nava)
- In his second go-around on the mound, Clay Buchholz was very solid. The thing is, Clay Buchholz doesn’t think so. You’re your own worst critic, I guess… (Buchholz wasn’t all that impressed)
- And the Legend of Jackie Bradley may have lost steam after just a week of doing legendary things. Don’t worry, though – he’ll be back soon enough. (Boston’s Bradley Decision Getting Easier)
- We’re truly sorry, Jose Iglesias. You did everything right, but the Red Sox want to play that other guy who needs to start earning that $9.5 million he got this year. (Bad news for Jose Iglesias)
- Don’t tell me that you weren’t surprised when John Lackey had eight punch-outs in his first start. That was well beyond expectations. And he didn’t even tear an elbow ligament this time. (Lackey’s ‘prognosis is good’ after second opinion)
- Should we care about the sellout streak? I don’t know, sure. Why not. But is it all that important? In the grand scheme of things…no, not really. (Fenway sellout streak likely to end Wednesday)
- “Rick Ankiel makes me believe that there’s always a way back from the abyss.” Y’know, I didn’t need my eyes to get watery at any point today, but this article happened. (The surprisingly non-tragic career of Rick Ankiel)
Now that we can get these terrible Tuesdays out of the way, BRING ME MORE BASEBALL.
