So…Will Middlebrooks. It’s impossible to talk about anything involving the Red Sox’ minor league clubs without Middlebrooks’ name entering the discussion. (See Mike Scandura’s profile of Middlebrooks, written yesterday.) He’s destroying Triple-A pitching...

Two mailbags in a week! I’m so excited. Just a few thoughts. The scouts that claim Jon Lester is throwing too many cutters are idiots. According to pitch f/x, he’s throwing the fewest cutters in his career. He’s throwing a lot more sinkers these...

I haven’t been this angry with a game in nearly two-and-a-half years. I’m serious. Not even during last September’s epic 7-20 slide that pushed the Red Sox out of the playoffs was I ever this angry. Confused, yes, but never angry. For whatever...

Can the Red Sox starting rotation hold up in 2012? Find out by watching every Red Sox game in 2012 with MLB Extra Innings on DIRECT TV. A few days ago, Red Sox GM Ben Cherington was quoted as saying that it was “unlikely” that the Sox would add another...

The signing of Aaron Cook was largely seen as a move that would not effect the major league roster, but if next year has injury troubles anything close to what happened last year it’s a lock he does. His contract is worth $1.5 million if he is on the major...

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Red Sox have signed former Colorado Rockies starting pitcher, Aaron Cook, to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. The agreement will be final pending a physical. Primarily a sinkerball pitcher, Cook has...

Without the designated hitter the Boston Red Sox still proved they were the better team as Jacoby Ellsbury lead the team on offense with four hits, two runs, and two RBIs in the 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. Daisuke Matsuzaka earned the win pitching for 5 1/3...

Shortened World Series Know Thy Enemy due to a chaotic couple days here for the Fire Brand scribes, but I managed to write up a quick comparison between the Red Sox and Rockies in what should be a wild Fall Classic 2007…. INFIELD Rockies: Yorvit Torrealba, Todd...
