This is gonna be a long week for Red Sox fans. I have a feeling the next few games will be a grind for both players and spectators. The bullpen’s depleted, and needed a savior last night. He arrived in the form of Ryan Dempster and his solid seven innings of...

Ladies and gents, it is time for the highlight of your week: the time that you realize that it is Nick Cafardo watching the Red Sox on the Boston Globe, despite the fact that your 11 year old son constructs better logic and that your 15 year old daughter demonstrates...

The Boston Red Sox are 20-11 right now, tied with the Rangers and Cardinals for the best record in baseball and sitting alone atop the American League East. Those who have watched a majority of the team’s games should understand that while the Red Sox might not be...

Someone needed to have hit the ejector seat switch way before Sunday for the Red Sox. What a frustrating series. Just cannot win in Arlington. I mean, sure, it wasn’t as bad since the walk-off was hit by our old buddy Adrian Beltre, but…it was still pretty...

You’ve probably already heard, but Jack Morris, a not-quite-Hall-of-Fame former pitcher and current Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster, came out this past week to accuse Clay Buchholz of throwing a “spitball,” conveniently right after Buchholz dominated his Blue Jays to...

Taking a look at the Greenville Drive this week, a roster that features a loaded rotation but a lineup weak in prospects. 2012 Season: With manager Carlos Febles at the helm , the Greenville Drive finished the 2012 season at 66-73, missing the South Atlantic League...
