I just got back from the long, rain-soaked affair at Fenway, so forgive me if I cop out and bring you a guest column by Marlins Today‘s writer, Andy Lavin — also a Red Sox fan. Below the article, you will find two pictures (and notice the one above with...

Well, June was a rough month. We ended the month at 12-13, a game below .500 … but no AL East foe had the stones to step up and take advantage. The Sox saw a lot of people flounder: Beckett, Cora, Lowell, Schilling, Youkilis, Lugo, Wily Mo, Timlin, Varitek,...

The month of May was good to the Red Sox. The Red Sox went 20-8 despite many people slumping. It’s quite impressive how well the team is playing despite those slumps. This month also saw several people come up from the minors to contribute: Javier Lopez, Kason...

Back in March, I made a promise to myself: Exerting patience with Dustin Pedroia would be vital. I expected early struggles and was fully prepared to pace myself with the development of the new second baseman. After all, Pedroia’s game is entirely based on...

Last year was Theo Epstein’s most criticized as general manager of the Boston Red Sox. He made a multitude of unpopular moves in which he dealt players such as Hanley Ramirez, Andy Marte, Bronson Arroyo, Anibel Sanchez, Josh Bard, Cla Meredith and David Riske....

Now that the month of April is officially over, it’s time to bring back a segment that I started last year but tailed off and didn’t do for August and September. I’ll be taking a month to month look at the Red Sox, and unlike last years, I’m...

Ah, our favorite team ’round these parts … what’s the team looking like this year? It’s strong. It’s not without its questions, but boy, this looks like a team to be reckoned with… Statistics code: AVG/OBP/SLG for hitters. W-L, ERA,...

The Red Sox Spring Training schedule began yesterday at 10:00 when Jon Lester played in the B-game. He pitched one perfect inning, needing only 8 pitches. Lester was even able to get his fastball up to 90 mph. An amazing feet considering the challenges Lester faced...

You might be asking, “who cares?” You know this article’s about the bench, and you don’t really care about the bench. You care about David Ortiz’s new truck, Manny Ramirez flouting the rules, Daisuke Matsuzaka’s laugh and the time...

Greetings, everyone! With the loss to the Colts that I can handle but haven’t quite gotten over yet in the rearview mirror, I now am at a loss for the next 24 days. Sure, the Celtics are playing, but wake me up when its time for the NBA Lottery. The Bruins?...
