Following last night’s 7-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, our beloved Red Sox have fallen to 1-4 on the season. After last season’s woeful 2-10 start and brutal 7-21 finish, it’s safe to say that many of us were hoping for quicker, more positive...

The 2012 season is finally almost ready to start and the Boston Red Sox can finally put all the stories from last season out of the news with a solid start. The team is largely intact much the same as last year and while the media has spent many pages hand wringing...
