The headline says it all. Some quickies: The controversy surrounding A-Rod is 100 percent acceptable. It doesn’t matter if he shouted “mine!” or “hah!” It’s specifically against the rules. There is a rule in baseball (I have to run,...

Two tall-jacks and a triple did in Tim Wakefield (4-5) and the Boston Red Sox (30-14) losing the first of the three game series to the New York Yankees (20-23) by a score of 6-2. Chien-Ming Wang (3-3) picked up the win in the contest going six and one-third’s...

Things couldn’t be going much better for the high-flying Red Sox. The team with the best record in the majors is getting hot exactly at the right time. On game two of a 13 game stretch of games against AL East competition, they began what has to this point been...

Professional baseball simply does not get any better than the end of the Yankees-Red Sox game on Sunday night. Jonathan Papelbon vs. Alex Rodriguez. The filthiest, flame throwing phenom in the game of baseball, the newly appointed most fearsome closer in the sport,...

I’m sure this news is going to make some of you very angry but believe it or not, both David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez have been helping Alex Rodriguez to overcome his struggles in New York. Have A-Rod’s late inning clutch home runs reminded anyone of a...

If you’re looking for a Red Sox/Yankees fix you’ve come to the right place. First off, you could start by reading the preview posted earlier for the series. If you had read it, you shouldn’t have been at all surprised to see Hideki Okajima protecting...

I usually don’t single out certain series but given the passion of the rivalry, and the fact that I got out of class at noon today, I thought, why not? Well I’ll skip the small chat and get right down to business. This weekend the two powers of the AL East...

Ah, the New York Yankees. Hated team and bitter rival to the Red Sox. The Stadium affectionately referred to as The Toilet … the home of The Slap … and the rivalry never reached heightened levels (and probably never will again) from 2003-2004 with the...
by mike edelman | Feb 13, 2007 | Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, New York Yankees
The similarities between these two superstars are incredible. Both are the most criticized players on their respective teams, both have reputations for being spotty in the field and both are paid rather handsomely. Most importantly though is the overbearing...

I’m proud to announce the unveiling of the Top 100 Red Sox, as worked on by a number of Red Sox bloggers. The home page is here. #100 and #99 were unveiled today, and I had the pleasure of kicking things off with #100. You can find that article at the Top 100...
