After losing two of three against the Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (5-4, tied for first in the AL East) finish their homestand with a four- three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (4-5, one game back in the AL East). The Rays usually get by with pitching and...

This week I will be previewing the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, a team filled with the Red Sox system’s top prospects. 2012 Season: Under manager Kevin Boles, the Sea Dogs finished the 2012 season at 68-73, missing out on the playoffs. Outfielder Bryce Brentz...

So the Sox lost a series. It happens. It was inevitable. I mean, I’d be pretty damn happy if the Sox won every series too, but that’s just not plausible. I’m not going to lie. That was a painful series to watch. Let’s give it one more final...

With a 5-4 record and two series wins under their belt, the Red Sox have gotten off to a relatively satisfying start to the 2013 season. One of the biggest reasons for Boston’s early-season burst has been Clay Buchholz, who has risen to the occasion with two straight...

Daniel Nava’s entire career has been marked by people underestimating just how good he could potentially be. It’s a winding journey from being incredibly underrated for years, overrated for one shining moment, and then right back to the familiarity of being...

So, for the second straight Tuesday, the Red Sox do not play a game. At all. Why must you toy with us, MLB schedule makers? We Sox fans love baseball too, in case you forgot about that… The perennial warms-your-heart journey of Daniel Nava continues. In this...

I had a recent interaction with Pete Abraham of the Globe on Twitter. I enjoy his writing, and am impressed by the frequency of which he connects with Red Sox fans on twitter. On this occasion, he had made a passing remark regarding the crazy questions that Nick...

After winning their first two road series of the season, the Boston Red Sox (4-2, first place in the AL East) come home to Fenway Park for their opening series against the Baltimore Orioles (3-3, 1 game back in the AL East). Baltimore was one of the surprises of 2012,...

I know the season’s only six games young, but the Red Sox are returning home with the AL East lead, so there’s something to make your Monday a bit more chipper. It only a few months ago that the Red Sox endured their worst season in 50 years. But...
