Gino Marcello, of Rochester, NY received plenty of attention for being a part of the jubilant World Series crowd at Fenway Park in Boston on Wednesday night. What made him stand out among the other 38,344 fans? He was the only guy there holding a sign saying “I Quit...

Prior to tonight, the Red Sox have only played in 15 World Series games in my lifetime. I was too young to really have any recollection of the first seven, but those last eight have been something that I will never forget. What will the next four to seven games bring?...

So who will it be? Cardinals pitching prancing and dancing all over the Sox bats? Or will it be a thumpy, dumpy Sox World Series celebration? YOU DECIDE! Pick yourself a 2013 World Series champion. And oh yeah- Here are the results from the last poll. You guys...

The day has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. Happy World Series Day. Be sure to stock up on stress relievers and beers before you watch the big game. That should be mandatory at this point, methinks. In the final baseball game of 2007, Jon Lester started, Jacoby...

Here’s my thought process after the ALCS: “WE WON! WORLD SERIES! YES! WOOOOOOO! AL CHAMPS! THIS IS AWESOME…I’m gonna have to write another Advanced Scout, aren’t I?” And so here we are, at the site of the last Advanced Scout of the...

Red Sox Trivia! It’s a fall classic too! Question: Who led the 2004 Red Sox in fWAR? No search engines or keyword searches, and no Fangraphs, obviously. Previous Question Answer: Good ole’ Ironsides. Jonny Gomes was ridiculous batting in high leverage...

Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this… It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire...

So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to live past my 40s thanks to the playoffs. It’s okay, I’d probably be really bored in retirement anyway. The Red Sox scored four runs! And this time, they didn’t need a single swing from...

I believe in the value of sabermetrics and I also believe in baseball voodoo magic, so take that how you will. — Daniel Poarch (@PoarchDaniel) October 17, 2013 I’m a pretty normal and reasonable guy.
I have a wife, family, house, and job and go through my days as a...

What I’m not wild about: I’m honestly not that impressed with John Farrell’s performance in the playoffs I mean sure – the results have been there – but it feels like sooner or later one of those poor decisions will come back to bite him. Odd stuff like not pinch...
