In light of his recent comments and the “return fire” provided by Dustin Pedroia, we ask Red Sox Nation if Bobby Valentine is already screwing up, especially in terms of his clubhouse management. Chip went in depth on the issue earlier today. Head on over...

Following last night’s 7-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, our beloved Red Sox have fallen to 1-4 on the season. After last season’s woeful 2-10 start and brutal 7-21 finish, it’s safe to say that many of us were hoping for quicker, more positive...
