Oh, no he didn’t! He don’t know Nick! He don’t know Nick! Shut up! Shut up! You know he looks good. You just jealous! Oh, I’m sorry. I was just channeling my “Jerry Springer white trash” persona for a second. Why would I do...

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...

As the Red Sox have fallen into a deeper slump than most of us ever imagined possible, the “Chicken Little” mentality that was once prevalent throughout Red Sox Nation has slowly transformed into the “Mob” mentality. Yes, that’s right folks. People throughout New...

You’ve got Jon Lester. You’ve got Josh Beckett. Everything else is one big cluster of discomfort. Erik Bedard was throwing the ball well against the Rangers last night until a base hit, a bad call (Josh Reddick made the catch, though it was called a trap)...

I feel like my writing about Andrew Miller might be bordering on overkill, but you know what, he’s just not that good of a pitcher. In yesterday’s game, Miller went 5.2 innings while allowing no run and two hits, but he walked six batters to only three...

Anyone who watched (or followed) last night’s rubber match against the Tampa Rays saw Clay Buchholz leave the game after pitching five strong innings due to an apparent injury. According to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal, he was pulled due to lower...
