Having taken two of three at the overly-friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the Boston Red Sox (33-33) return to Fenway Park to begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game set against the Miami Marlins (33-33). Many of the Marlins’ hitting stars are ice cold,...

The Boston Red Sox (29-31), having been swept over the weekend by the Washington Nationals, take the show on the road for a three-game skein against the Miami Marlins (31-29). The Marlins are on a cold streak, having lost their last six games in a row. And the Red Sox...

<a title=" First of all, I’d like to apologize for not being around much lately. In the middle of a wonderful weekend in New York City, I managed to suffer a scratched cornea. Yes, that’s about as comfortable as it sounds. After several days of...

Having lost the series against the Rays on a tough loss on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox (23-24) welcome the Detroit Tigers (23-24) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. Detroit hasn’t had the start that most expected them to have this season, but the talent is...

Ok, boys and girls. By now you know the drill. People ask Nick questions, I intervene and answer correctly on his behalf. All “questioners” will remain nameless unless they truly deserve to be mocked. Luckily, no one has to be outed this...

<a title=" If you think playing A-Gon in center is a crazy idea, you’ll love the first question in today’s Cafardo mailbag… Has any thought been given to moving Middlebrooks to shortstop (his original position) upon the return of Youkilis to...

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...
