Hello again everyone! Roughly six weeks until pitchers & catchers report! Aren’t you excited? Not really? Well, that was more than I expected, I guess. Anyway, links galore! Logic, not just optimism, dictates that your Red Sox will be better in 2013. Or, if...

I know SOME of you are still hanging on to that last thread of hope, daydreaming of an epic September run that rouses up a David vs. Goliath battle where Tampa and New York collapse under the forces of Darnell McDonald and Jed Lowrie. Someone out there still thinks...

Running Log of Game Seven 9:12 PM, Top 2nd: Okay, it’s the top second … and JOHNNY DAMON JUST HIT A GRAND SLAM! JOHNNY DAMON! Amazing. Kevin Brown had been yanked after loading the bases, and Javier Vazquez had given up a salami to Damon. Just crushed....

Today the Red Sox made absolute, incredible history. They won their third straight. Against the Yankees … forcing a Game 7. Pepto Bismol, anyone? Please. Let us win 20-0. I’d take a 1-0 win in the 65th inning, though… But I might be out of Pepto....

Today, Sam Killay of Raystalk stands in for Evan in his hour of need. It’s October, game 3 of the ALCS, the Sox are down 0-2 to the hated, accursed, vicious, baby-slapping New York Yankees, our vaunted offense has failed us miserably in innings 1-6 in each of...

So we lost. Again. Game Two. Martinez v. Lieber. Okay, where are all these Yankee aces coming from? No, really. Mussina and Lieber? Jon Lieber? What’s with this home-plate umpire debauchery? Let’s call a strike a strike folks, and a ball a ball. Will the...
