For good reason, most Red Sox fans weren’t comfortable with the idea of Clay Buchholz heading the starting rotation in 2015. Over the course of his 9 year career, the right-hander has combated his flashes of greatness with injuries and under performance. Even...

If I was a betting man, I’d say that we’re in for a very active week on the MLB hot stove. With the General Managers meetings now in the rear view mirror, teams can use the information they gathered last week to begin to put their offseason plans into...

I have a confession to make: I didn’t watch Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. I know this hurts my credibility as a diehard Red Sox fan, but I had reached a point where I just wasn’t sure whether I could deal with the emotion of a loss to the Yankees for the second straight...

A pair of rookies squared off in the series finale of a 4 game set between the Red Sox and Blue Jays on Thursday. The Red Sox sent 25 year-old Rubby De La Rosa to the mound, while Toronto countered with the former 2012 first round draft pick, Marcus Stroman. After De...

Our Red Sox heroes haven’t always left gracefully. In fact, one negative trend during the tenure of the current owners has been the disgruntled departures of many of the players and front office staff. For every Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield, there has been a Johnny...

Brace yourselves, folks – we’re starting to drift into Best Shape Of His Life (BSOHL) territory. Who’s gonna be on that list? Hopefully a certain Domincan left-hander. The Red Sox offense may have lost a step, but it’s still a very potent...

Around this time ever year, we hit that tipping point where most of the offseason’s notable moves have already occurred. Sure, there are some free agents left to sort out (I.E. Stephen Drew, Nelson Cruz, Ubaldo Jimenez, etc.), but for the most part, the bigger pieces...

As we inch ever closer to Spring Training 2014, one must remember that it’s totally fine and acceptable to experience baseball withdrawal symptoms. Really, it’s okay. It’s time for arbitration, guys! There’s gonna be tons of one-year deals...

And now the cascade of signings has begun. Pitchers going cross-country, outfielders being signed by the worst GM in baseball…fun times, guys. Fun times. It’s no secret that the Red Sox have employed Bill James for 10 years now. After the debacles of last...

The day has arrived. My nerves have already been worn down so much, I can’t feel my left arm. Is this even good for my health? Few thought the Red Sox would go from so bad to so good in just a short amount of time. But here they are, and boy, are they good....
