Only four more days until baseball season. I may not be able to cover the entire game today both I will write about what I am able to see. As of now I’m watching Schilling’s start at the library. I’m going above and beyond my usual attempts to see...

Craig Hansen has been optioned to Triple-A (gee, what a surprise…). Alex Ochoa has accepted his assignment to Triple-A, and could have a chance of coming up as a backup outfielder due to injury. Bryan Corey has been sent to minor league camp, which firms up the...

The Yankees are at the fort for the only time this spring. Tim Wakefield is facing off against Carl Pavano. More on the results as the game progresses. Wakefield simply didn’t have it today. He fell behind batters earlier and began throwing a bit more strikes in...

The biggest question heading into a plethora of spring training games this month is easy: Will someone emerge as the closer on April 2nd when the Red Sox visit Kansas City? Simple answer: No. Tito will run a closer by committee, subbing in the right players at the...

The Red Sox’s bullpen increased in size with the inking of Joel Pineiro to a one-year, $4 million contract. This means that the competition for the final one or two spots in the bullpen is now a lot tighter. The Red Sox will probably carry 12 pitchers until they...
