The statement “they’re not booing, they’re saying “Yoooouuuuukkkk” may never be more relevant than it will be tomorrow night. There’s no real reason to believe that Boston fans would ever greet Kevin Youkilis with a smattering of boos, other than the simple fact that...

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...

Mark July 16th on your calendar. As far as Carl Crawford is concerned Monday is the day when he expects (hopes?) to return to the Boston Red Sox. “We’re taking it day by day but Monday (July 16) is the day I’m trying to reach,” Crawford said after playing in a rehab...

So here we are at the so-called mid-point of the season: the All-Star break. While we knew this season would likely be tougher than seasons in recent memory, few could have expected the veritable roller coaster ride the Red Sox have been on since Opening Day. Up...

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...

The Red Sox closed the first half of the season last night in the same fashion they started it: with a loss. Boston boasts an even 43-43 record as their lone All-Star representative, David Ortiz, heads to Kansas City for the midsummer classic. Needless to say, it’s...

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...

Over the next month, there will be several roster moves with Boston that could leave the team looking very different than it does right now. In fact, the outfield could be completely revamped. Let’s look at the pending decisions that have to be made…...

Red Sox Nation can’t resist the boy wonder, Theo Epstein. He is our Bill Clinton…our Elizabeth Taylor…our Michael Jackson. Regardless of his relevance in Major League Baseball, we will follow his every move until the day he dies. Really though,...
