With AL East ramifications on the line, the Red Sox began a 4 game series North of the boarder in the best way possible. Boston’s offense exploded against Toronto Blue Jays pitching, tallying 14 total runs on 18 hits. The Red Sox began their offensive onslaught...

With endless apologies to my wife, my bookcase at home is spilling over with baseball. The top shelf? Nothing but Red Sox books. And it being deep summer and because nothing is better than reading a baseball book in a saggy hammock or on a toasty beach with a salty...

One of my favorite romantic comedies in the last 20 years—and certainly one of the most unheralded clever screenplays ever—was writer/director Peter Howitt’s Sliding Doors. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a young British PR exec who gets fired from her job in the opening scene...

The day has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. Happy World Series Day. Be sure to stock up on stress relievers and beers before you watch the big game. That should be mandatory at this point, methinks. In the final baseball game of 2007, Jon Lester started, Jacoby...

Well, everyone, there’s just a week of 30-team baseball left. I can hear your heart drop from here. It’s very sad, I know. The end is nigh, at least for 20 other teams. After winning the AL East pennant, it seems like the one word that was used the most is...

Was I the only one fist-pumping throughout the game last night? I certainly hope not, that game was a prime example of great pitching. I’d give it 4 stars, would watch again on DVD. Clay Buchholz‘s return was nothing short of fantastic. He stymied the...

It’s the most polarizing pronoun in the sports world: We. Using this will cause you to frequently encounter snarky replies like “Oh were you on the field?” (No, genius, that stuff gets you fined and jailed these days.) Or “what number do you wear?” (Trot Nixon’s #7,...

“I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don’t think about it is when I’m playing it.” – Carl Yastrzemski Honestly, who isn’t glad that Pedro...
