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...

After taking two of three from the Blue Jays in a quick road trip to Toronto, the Boston Red Sox (28-26) return home to Fenway Park to start a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles (30-24). The injury bug has hit the Orioles, with Nick Markakis most notably...

To begin with, this article will mean nothing in two years. In fact, in as few as six months, all of these words could be rendered rather meaningless. That’s probably not the best way to inspire you to read further, but when addressing the MLB draft, it’s best to...

The crack of the bat was unmistakable. The ball was gone. Joe Blanton bowed his head, biting his lip as he let some saliva escape his mouth. The crowd roared, arms raised, drinks spilled. It’s rare that a player gives a curtain call after his first major league at...
