I’m one of the few people that believes that the Red Sox will be just fine without adding an ace before the season starts. Call it drinking the John Henry Kool-aid if you want, but when I look around the division, I see just about every team in the same position...

Max Scherzer is too much of a commitment. Cole Hamels will cost too many top prospects. James Shields wants an ace contract, but he’s a high mileage 33-year old. But the Red Sox need an ace! Granted an ace would be nice to plant atop the rotation, but it’s...

Of all the days to record your first clunker in the Major Leagues, Anthony Ranaudo picked his 25th birthday. After allowing at least 4 runs in 5 innings in his previous 5 starts, the right-hander lasted just 3.1 innings before being lifted from Tuesday’s game....

After doing this fora few months, you start to realize how much you’re gonna miss it. How fun it was to see an awful team’s lineup and make decent analogies all for the sake of making this not mind-meltingly boring. Then you realize that the Red Sox play...

ESPN’s standings currently have the Red Sox sitting at a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs. So is it a lock that Boston will once against be dancing in October? Of course not! But just how close are they to winning the AL East? Even if the Red Sox go a modest 7-8...

I called it. That game against Chris Tillman would be the most frustrating contest of the series. Can he just regress already and save us the stress? It wasn’t an easy night for the Red Sox. A few missed opportunities & a bunch of line drive outs later, the...

So the Red Sox pull of a good road trip, finally get back home, and who do they face? The Orioles. Cue the frustration of not getting hits and watching the BABIP dragons just ignore Baltimore for the majority of the series.Well, at least it’s at home, right?...

Now would be a really, really convenient time for the Red Sox to start hitting again. Just spray those line drives all over the pl- oh. They’re playing the Orioles. Whelp, time to consider every line drive hit as an out, since all Baltimore does is catch them....

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,...
