The lesson learned here, everyone, is never have a foot injury. Ever. It ruins everything, apparently.
- A few days ago, David Ortiz was running, and now…this. Disappointing? Sure. Season-derailing? Not really. He’ll be back soon enough. (Red Sox to shut down David Ortiz for 5-7 days)
- Of course, Ortiz can’t be happy. He needs a pick-me-up, which is exactly what he’ll get from a blast from the past: Dwight Evans. (Why Dwight Evans Offers David Ortiz A Beacon Of Hope)
- You’ve heard the analysts. “Xander Bogaerts is too big for shortstop! He should move to third base!” In response, I present Cal Ripken saying, “Nay, good sirs, nay.” (Ripken sizes it up)
- Do my eyes deceive me? John Lackey? Pitching well? Stop it, spring training, you’re just teasing me again… (Lackey coming along after solid outing vs. Rays)
- David Ross has been around the majors for quite a while, and has been the battery mate for many pitchers. He’s even got a “best pitches” list. (David Ross lists the best pitches he has ever caught)
- We all know Jeffrey Loria hates baseball teams, and Giancarlo Stanton could very well be traded. So what would it cost for the Red Sox to nab him? And no, John Lackey + Juan Carlos Linares is not an acceptable trade. (At What Price Stanton?)
- Hindsight’s 20/20, but aren’t you all glad the Red Sox didn’t trade for Alex Rodriguez? He and his hell-spawned agent, Scott Boras? (Vetoed Trades, Part Five)
- I’m not one to write adjectives that seem like they’re straight out of a 2nd grade classroom, but whatever floats your boat, I guess. (Red Sox clubhouse is “eleventy-billion times better”)
Also, ankle injuries – just no. Even videos of rolled ankles are just unsettling. And you thought you couldn’t walk before…
