The Red Sox met up with old pal Jarrod Saltalamacchia yesterday. Good thing none of the Red Sox regulars made the trip or things could have been emotional. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rich Hill. In times like these, baseball just seems so insignificant. (Rich...

I don’t care if it’s spring training, after back-to-back televised games, you can’t go back to radio-only broadcasts. I’m starting to think this whole “spring training” thing is a big tease. Without a pure lead-off hitter on the...

It was a busy weekend down on Fort Myers. After handily beating those pesky college kids, the Red Sox played their first two exhibition game of the spring against the Twins and the Orioles. NESN aired their first game of the spring. Oh, and Mike Napoli hit a home run...

Something of note: there will be a ton of Spring Training games broadcasted this year, and not just by ESPN. Looks to me like baseball is on the rise again. He says he’ll give a hometown discount, but what does Jon Lester mean by that? Just a few million off per...

Aren’t you glad you’re not in Sochi, where there’s cameras in your shower and half-finished hotels and photos of Vladimir Putin watching you from the end table? It was disheartening to hear the news that Curt Schilling had been diagnosed with cancer....

Y’know what, guys, come down to Phoenix for a week. We’ll play baseball until we can’t and then, once we’re done, we’ll go see some Spring Training stuff. Cool? Cool. You want nostalgia? We’ve got it. Roger Clemens, Nomar...

The Super Bowl is over! Pitchers and catchers report in just a few days! Baseball season is getting ever so close! Exclamation points! Yelling and cheering! Wooo! David Ortiz and the Red Sox can talk about their mutual respect for one another all they want, but in the...

The last day of January! Winter’s slowly coming to a close! People might see temperatures without a negative in front of the number! Awesome fun happy times! Looks like the whole David Ortiz contract talks thing was blown bit out of proportion. But then again,...

Guys, I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty spoiled here in Phoenix. It’s been like 75 degrees every day for the last few weeks. I can’t help how amazing it is at this time of year. He’s been the stalwart of the team since the early 2000s, and...

All it took was a little international signing action and the free agent dominoes start falling again. Who says the Hot Stove isn’t sizzling in January? After last season, most would say Jon Lester deserves an extension. Even he plans to play in Boston until...
