After Cody Ross’ heroic walk off blast, the consensus on this team was clear: they’re about to take off. With the entire lineup, save for an injured David Ortiz, finally in tact, and doused in Gatorade after the home run, the 2012 Boston Red Sox looked ready to shake...

So here we are at the so-called mid-point of the season: the All-Star break. While we knew this season would likely be tougher than seasons in recent memory, few could have expected the veritable roller coaster ride the Red Sox have been on since Opening Day. Up...

Decisions, decisions. The Red Sox have Jacoby Ellsbury slated to return on Friday, and Carl Crawford is not that far behind. That means some difficult decisions have to be made. There are reports Boston is looking to trade Ryan Sweeney to alleviate the situation, and...

I’m not going to waste any time today. On to the mailbag! With Jon Lester not performing like the ace we expected, do you see the Sox making a bid for a proven ace? Zack Greinke or King Felix are the two I would love to see GM Ben Cherington pursue. I would be...
