It’s inevitable. At some point, Ben Cherington will lose Koji Uehara. Now, whether that’s due to lowballing him by a few million dollars this offseason, in a trade at next year’s deadline, or retirement remains to be seen. But the fact of the matter...

Please forgive the horrible pun in the title. I played around with a few other ideas before settling on that one, and as silly as it is, it’s rather apt. Daniel Nava is an anomaly, quite like anyone else who’s ever played in major league baseball. Most of us are aware...

The Boston Red Sox went 0-7 over the last week and are now 56-74, which is a season-high 18 games below .500. The team has to win 14 of its final 32 contests in order to be better than the 2012 season. The team has improved offensively with the addition of Yoenis...

I was a little worried that Jake Peavy was going to be traded this week, thus making my post somewhat irrelevant. Thankfully, he wasn’t. I imagine he will be soon, so perhaps this will serve as our “In Memoriam,” so to speak. On to the...

I last saw Jake Peavy pitch, live and in person, nearly seven years ago. Paradoxically, I remember it vividly, yet vaguely. More accurately, there are elements of the game I remember with clarity, but on the whole, it’s mostly a haze in my mind. I remember it being...

One of the biggest strengths of last year’s Red Sox team was the strong performances the squad got from its bench spots. Indeed, Boston’s depth proved crucial in taking advantage of platoon pairings on a nightly basis, softening the blow of any injuries to starters,...

May 10, 2001. The soon to be 116 win Seattle Mariners defeated the Boston Red Sox in the rubber game of a three game series at Fenway Park that night, 5-2. Red Sox legends such as Dante Bichette, Mike Lansing, Jose Offerman, and Darren Lewis were in the line up...

Usually, I absolutely hate the off day after Opening Day. Not only does it seem like the longest day of the season, but it’s also a big tease as we still get to watch other teams play. But since the Red Sox off day was spent being hanging with the President and...

Ladies and Gentlemen: Dan Shaughnessy. BALTIMORE — OK, 162-0 is out. What else have we got? Well, there is last year’s World Series championship, a deep and celebrated farm system, three titles in a decade, the love of friends and family, a stable job. That...

With about 20 days until the regular season starts, John Farrell has set his rotation in place that will likely be through until at least the All-Star break. Jon Lester will got the nod on Monday and will be followed by John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy and then...
