Still Waiting…Sox Need to Add a Starter
I like the fact that GM Ben Cherington has put an emphasis on adding Triple-A depth with regards to starting pitchers, but at some point the real need needs to be addressed. This team needs at least — and I emphasis AT LEAST — one more dependable fourth or fifth starter at the major league level. Period. [...]
The Hot Stove is Still Burning in Boston
Even though the hot stove has turned luke warm around the rest of the league, it’s still piping hot in Boston. To keep you up to date on all of the latest news and information, I’ve put together another piece where I touch upon the most pertinent issues of the day. The Starting Pitching Watch: [...]
What was Cherington thinking in Scutaro trade?
The Red Sox made a baffling move over the weekend by trading starting shortstop Marco Scutaro to the Rockies, then compounded the issue by inking Cody Ross to join the outfield. In an offseason where the Miami Marlins have channeled the ghost of George Steinbrenner, the Red Sox have become the new misers of the [...]

What Move Do You Want For Christmas?
Fire Brand wants to know what you want the Sox to do for the holidays! Not that we can actually make any of this happen, mind you, but it’s a fun poll question anyway. How about Gio Gonzalez? The price would be high and one has to wonder if the Sox even have the high [...]
Loading ...Fire Brand of the Year
“The Fire Brand of the American League is a Red Sox player who exhibits character under pressure, an unassuming man who leaves the spotlight for other people but makes his indelible mark on the past season’s Boston Red Sox. A piece most people take for granted, but whom we would have missed dearly.”
