Oh … is there anything more glorious? Having been a frequent visitor of Opening Day at Fenway Park years past (including my most recent one in 2005, when the ring ceremony was held for the 2004 World Series title) there’s nothing sweeter than seeing the...

The last two games have easily atoned for the stinker the Red Sox tossed up on Opening Day, and the Sox head to Texas after vanquishing the Royals twice in a three-game set. The story yesterday, of course, is the play of Daisuke Matsuzaka. Matsuzaka shut down the...

In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Red Sox lost Opening Day and went on to make the playoffs. In 2006, Opening Day was won and … well, let’s not talk about what happened after that. Curt Schilling simply was not on today. He didn’t have it from the start...

Ah, our favorite team ’round these parts … what’s the team looking like this year? It’s strong. It’s not without its questions, but boy, this looks like a team to be reckoned with… Statistics code: AVG/OBP/SLG for hitters. W-L, ERA,...

Only four more days until baseball season. I may not be able to cover the entire game today both I will write about what I am able to see. As of now I’m watching Schilling’s start at the library. I’m going above and beyond my usual attempts to see...

Patrolling through Sons of Sam Horn and running across a Coco Crisp thread last night, I received this disturbing news from Rotoworld. The extent and severity of this new injury is unknown at this point, and the report actually states the Red Sox hope Crisp will play...

There’s an article chock full of some good stuff. The obligatory Manny Ramirez story. He’ll show up, he’ll hit, he’ll demand a trade, the Red Sox will explore a trade, ESPN.com will into a tizzy for two weeks, Manny won’t be traded,...
