Sam Killay (MVN Devil Rays columnist and frequent commenter on Fire Brand) came up last night to attend the parade with me. As Sam said to me today, his passion is the Red Sox, his hobby is the Devil Rays. Dave Cohen (MVN webmaster) was also supposed to come up, but...

I’m sorry, but I can’t really put into words this game. It was a monumental effort by an absolutely amazing team. They managed to rewrite the history books. Hell, they’re writing the new history books. Some extra history the Red Sox laid on us were...

The Boston Red Sox are the 2004 World Series Champions of Major League Baseball! We believed … and won. “Again, there is no reason we can’t be the last team standing, we believe, so you better believe with us, no matter what happens between now and...

The Red Sox defeated the Cardinals to take the second game in the World Series. Curt Schilling played on blood and guts, which apparently was enough to help him defeat the Cardinals. Over his last five World Series starts, Schilling’s ERA is now an absurd 0.99....

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Carpenter is not on the roster, declining the Cardinals their best starter. Al Reyes is on the Cardinals roster, replacing lefty Steve Kline. This is huge for the Sox as now the Cardinals only have one lefty and Al Reyes is not exactly a good...
