Remember that time when Jonathan Papelbon was trying to become a starter last year. Remember that time where we had Dice-K mania and so on and so forth. Well when the Boston Red Sox enter the 2008 Spring Training Campaign there will be nothing to worry about, at least...

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...

The most important thing that may have resulted from the World Series is how well we are set up to repeat next year. Every year, there are inevitably articles on why or why not the World Series champions will repeat the next year. It’s happened for as long as we...

Without the designated hitter the Boston Red Sox still proved they were the better team as Jacoby Ellsbury lead the team on offense with four hits, two runs, and two RBIs in the 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. Daisuke Matsuzaka earned the win pitching for 5 1/3...

After game one of the Indians series, Sox fans thought we would have a relatively easy time disposing of the Tribe. After Mike Lowell’s solo home run in game two, when the Sox pulled ahead six to five, we all let out a deep breath and started slapping each other...

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

Don’t mean to bump Dan’s and Shawn’s reaction, but I wanted to get my thoughts in…… The year 2007 for J.D. Drew was exemplified perfectly by my body language following a near squander in the bottom of the first inning. With the bases...
