And no, I don’t mean the end of the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey “feud” on American Idol. Though that can & should end now. Preferably at this very moment. After weeks of facepalms, exasperated sighs and sporatic shouts of “C’MON!”...

Dear Josh Beckett, You were one of my favorite Red Sox players. You were one of my least favorite Red Sox players. It all started out so well. My first memory of you was when you helped reduce the awful sting of 2003 ALCS by a small percentage when by kicking the...

Guys, I’m making the 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame class reunion letters and need some creative – oh. Right. Blank ballots, morality debates, and no players voted in. Here’s some links for you all while I stare at this situation incredulously. Of all...

Hello again, everyone! I’ve got another batch of links for you to read while resting from the fast & furious shopping binge you’re on, thanks to all these after-Christmas sales… Since the pieces in the Joel Hanrahan trade are supposedly being...

Thanksgiving six years ago saw Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer and a cadre of Red Sox officials fly out to Arizona and be guests of Curt and Shonda Schilling for Thanksgiving dinner. The crew was there in the hopes of convincing Schilling that he should waive his no-trade...

Stan Grossfeld of the Boston Globe interviewed Keith Foulke in a piece that ran today. I enjoy Grossfeld’s feature pieces — they’re enjoyable to read, and this one is no exception. It’s great to hear from Foulke, and I’ll always consider...

Do you? Do you remember 2007? Where Beckett made Hanley Ramirez an after-thought? Post-2007, Hanley was merely Khalil Greene in the eyes of Red Sox fans. Maybe not Khalil, but you get my point, right? What Beckett did was incredible. We didn’t actually think...

The scenario was reminiscent of Curt Schilling’s performance against the Oakland Athletics two years ago on June 7. Boston was in a funk. Oakland had a chance at sweeping the Red Sox at home for the first time in a four game set since May 19-21, 1932 when they...

Today, over at MVN Outsider, there are three Red Sox-centric articles that may be of interest: Fantasy Baseball 2009: Boston Red Sox Brad Berreman is pretty optimistic about several players this year such as Josh Beckett and Jason Bay. He projects Bay to hit 30-35...

The man that returned to Boston and brought home a World Series has officially announced his retirement. Schilling: The game always gave me far more than I ever gave it. All of those things, every single one of those memories is enveloped with fan sights and sounds...
