It didn’t take long for things to go wrong for the Red Sox on Wednesday. In his third start of the season, Rubby De La Rosa was touched up for three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Adam Jones opened up the scoring for Baltimore with a one out RBI double,...

In the 2013 regular season the Red Sox committed 80 errors in 162 games. That total ranked them as the eight best team in the Majors and the fifth best in the American League (although strangely enough only fourth best in their own division behind Baltimore, Tampa...

Through one full rotation of the starters, the Boston Red Sox stand at 2-3 and have lost two straight at Fenway Park to the Milwaukee Brewers due to lack of offensive and bullpen struggles after the bullpen did not allow a single run in the Baltimore Orioles series....

We’ve finally reached MLB Opening Day, and I’m sure you all are just as excited as I am that those ESPN score update texts finally count now, instead of being just a tease like they were in Spring Training. For this week’s column, I’m just...

There’s still some wheels turning in the great baseball machine, but they’re turning slowly. There’s still some deals to be made, sure, but they aren’t on the horizon. David Ortiz didn’t win Sportsman of the Year (a travesty), but he...
