ESPN’s standings currently have the Red Sox sitting at a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs. So is it a lock that Boston will once against be dancing in October? Of course not! But just how close are they to winning the AL East? Even if the Red Sox go a modest 7-8...

No jet lag on this flight! Which is good, because I’d probably feel awful coming out of Houston having to work my backside off for two wins against the American League’s worst team. Be gentle, Central Time Zone. Please. KANSAS CITY ROYALS – 58-53,...

Having earned their second sweep in a row, the Boston Red Sox (11-4, 2.5 games ahead in the AL East) return home to Fenway Park for a three-game series (which will start TBA due to the ongoing manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber) against the Kansas City Royals...

I couldn’t be happier with that result in the Bronx. Two out of three and a good start to the season for many players. Heck, Farrell’s even gotten praise this early. Dust has replaced their blood. AARP is just waiting for them to be members. And yet, Andy...

The Red Sox (11-16) get out of town, and none too soon, to play a three-game series against the lowly Kansas City Royals (9-18). The Royals have some talent but not enough to, you know, consistently win. The Royals will host the 2012 MLB All-Star Game to celebrate the...
