Letting Orlando Cabrera go was Theo Epstein’s biggest mistake of his short career as a general manager, and we’re feeling the effects of this to this day. Let’s backtrack a little bit. On July 31st, 2004, the Red Sox traded away their icon, Nomar...

Before you read this, realize this is my futile attempt at humor. In the end, we should probably pretend this never happened. But first, enter the Red Sox AIM Chat room! Cococrispy10: Hey guys! Great game last night! KillALS38pitches: psh ya man, good day for you to...

Five notes I wanted to talk about today. Three are relatively short, two are a bit more meaty. The short ones: Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia being named the AL Rookie of the Month for May! He hit an astounding .415/.472/.600 in May. What has he done in June? Um...

The month of May was good to the Red Sox. The Red Sox went 20-8 despite many people slumping. It’s quite impressive how well the team is playing despite those slumps. This month also saw several people come up from the minors to contribute: Javier Lopez, Kason...

The Red Sox farm system is currently overflowing with an embarrassment of riches. There are already 4 products of the Red Sox farm system contributing to the major league team. Those players are Kevin Youkilis, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen and Dustin Pedroia....

Since May is about to conclude, the aura around this years team is in its early developmental stages. While some players are overachieving and some underachieving, the fans are getting a sense of what this team can do as a whole. Last week, I attempted against my best...

Explosions of offense in the second and sixth innings lead to the eventual 10-6 win for the Boston Red Sox (32-15) over the Texas Rangers (18-30). The Sox made quick work of Rangers’ starter Brandon McCarthy handing him his early exit after a four run second....

As Mike introduced a two part series last week regarding the Red Sox chances of winning the division, I felt it was only necessary to take it a step further. The date is May 25, and almost 50 games into the season,...

Through the first 43 games of the 2007 campaign, the Boston Red Sox have silenced critics and outperformed almost every expectation. Some expected the team to compete for the division crown and some even expected the Sox to be a World Series threat, but nobody truly...
