One of my favorite family traditions is sitting down at the end of December and listing our highs and lows from the past year. What were the best moments and what were the worst? It’s a great way to summarize the ebb and flow of life. So, as Red Sox fans gladly wrap...

It’s trading deadline time, so that means questions abound about possible trade options; the Josh Beckett/Jon Lester conundrum; and concern over Carl Crawford‘s elbow. Let’s dive right in to the yummy goodness that is this week’s Cafardo...

After taking only one of four from the Yankees and getting four days off for the All-Star break, the Boston Red Sox (43-43, 9.5 games back) go to St. Petersburg, Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Rays (45-41, 7.5 games back) in a three-game series. The Red Sox are a...

Decisions, decisions. The Red Sox have Jacoby Ellsbury slated to return on Friday, and Carl Crawford is not that far behind. That means some difficult decisions have to be made. There are reports Boston is looking to trade Ryan Sweeney to alleviate the situation, and...

After a horrible 2-5 road trip, capped off by a sweep at the hands of the Oakland Athletics, the Boston Red Sox (42-40, 7.5 games back) return to Fenway Park to host a four-game series against those damn New York Yankees (49-32, first place). The Yanks are 6-4 in...

I’m not going to waste any time today. On to the mailbag! With Jon Lester not performing like the ace we expected, do you see the Sox making a bid for a proven ace? Zack Greinke or King Felix are the two I would love to see GM Ben Cherington pursue. I would be...

Having earned a split against the surprisingly tough Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox (42-37, 6-4 in the last 10 games) travel to Oakland for a three-game set against the Athletics (38-42, 4-6 in the last 10 games). Billy Beane has always loved young pitchers and...
