Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; Independence Day is a close second. They are both quintessential American holidays. After the Thanksgiving of 2003, turkey day and the Red Sox will always be linked. With this in mind, I am thankful that… * The Red Sox did...

Yesterday, the Red Sox signed utility man Drew Sutton to a minor league deal. While many Sox fans have probably not heard of Sutton, he brings a lot to the table and could help the Sox in a pinch in 2011. Sutton was the Houston Astros’ 15th round pick in 2004...

Carl Everett doesn’t believe in dinosaurs. We all know that by now, but it’s still funny to think at one point, this guy was the future of the organization. We can thank Dan Duquette for a lot of things. He was instrumental in laying the player foundation that helped...

Though the free agent market is officially open, let’s not forget about the trade possibilities out there. As stated about a million times since the end of the regular season, the Red Sox need to improve their bullpen. There is one reliever out there in...
