Spring Training is only a couple weeks away. Sure, it’s a couple exhibitions against college kids, but baseball’s baseball. Hell, have them play Little Leagues if need be! It’s been a long winter. The glory of the World Series hasn’t completely...

Brace yourselves, folks – we’re starting to drift into Best Shape Of His Life (BSOHL) territory. Who’s gonna be on that list? Hopefully a certain Domincan left-hander. The Red Sox offense may have lost a step, but it’s still a very potent...

Truck Day has come and gone, there’s players doing baseball things in Ft. Myers, and it’s a balmy 75 degrees here in Arizona. Baseball is pretty much everywhere. While not facing the multitude of issues that plagues the majority of the league, the Red Sox...

Projections are fun. The season hasn’t yet begun, so when you project a player’s performance, they are whoever you want them to be. Does Matt Kemp stay healthy? Does Mike Trout break 10 WAR again? Are the rumors of Jose Bautista’s demise unfounded? You get to decide....

Aren’t you glad you’re not in Sochi, where there’s cameras in your shower and half-finished hotels and photos of Vladimir Putin watching you from the end table? It was disheartening to hear the news that Curt Schilling had been diagnosed with cancer....

I just missed him. Ted Williams hit his famous last at bat home run on September 28, 1960, three years before I began following the Red Sox. He played at Fenway in a 1982 Old Timer’s Game but I can’t find footage of that anywhere. Yaz was certainly a fine...

Y’know what, guys, come down to Phoenix for a week. We’ll play baseball until we can’t and then, once we’re done, we’ll go see some Spring Training stuff. Cool? Cool. You want nostalgia? We’ve got it. Roger Clemens, Nomar...

The Super Bowl is over! Pitchers and catchers report in just a few days! Baseball season is getting ever so close! Exclamation points! Yelling and cheering! Wooo! David Ortiz and the Red Sox can talk about their mutual respect for one another all they want, but in the...

The last day of January! Winter’s slowly coming to a close! People might see temperatures without a negative in front of the number! Awesome fun happy times! Looks like the whole David Ortiz contract talks thing was blown bit out of proportion. But then again,...

Guys, I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty spoiled here in Phoenix. It’s been like 75 degrees every day for the last few weeks. I can’t help how amazing it is at this time of year. He’s been the stalwart of the team since the early 2000s, and...
