<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...

My fiancee and I have a running joke where, when Jarrod Saltalamacchia steps to the plate, I’ll inform her that her boyfriend is up at bat. She’ll likewise let me know when my own boyfriend, Ryan Sweeney, is at the plate. But where Salty being her...

Having won both games of a two-game set against the lowly Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox (17-19) travel to St. Petersburg, Florida to play another two-game series, this time against the tied-for-first place Tampa Bay Rays (23-14). The Red Sox, while still in...

Josh Beckett Cares? Well, that does it. Josh Beckett proves once again that he hates the Red Sox, doesn’t like being a baseball player, and cares only about taking down the clubhouse from the inside. Oh, I’m sorry. What was that? He hurled seven...

The strange and often unfortunate thing about baseball, and well just about everything, is that individuals are often remembered more for singular moments than for the body of their entire career or even their entire lives. Dave Roberts could have been cut down every...

The Boston Red Sox (15-19) finish their current homestand with a two-game series against the Seattle Mariners (16-20). The Mariners aren’t setting the world on fire lately but are 5-5 in their last 10 games, which is pretty good for the Mariners. Then again, the...

This is my response to Evan’s Friday piece on Beckett. I first heard about “Golf Gate” via Twitter last Wednesday. Clay Buchholz was being asked questions about it, and he chose not to answer them. Predictably, the blood thirsty Boston media saw...

Matsuzaka – Kelly O’Conner, sittingstill.net Daisuke Matsuzaka may have pitched himself into another rehab start instead of a possible start with the Boston Red Sox. Matsuzaka admitted that would be the case after a lackluster performance Saturday night...

Josh Beckett just doesn’t get it. His comments following his debacle against the Indians on Thursday night are indicative of someone who couldn’t care less about the team around him. The presumptive Red Sox ace could have negated the most recent...
