As the Red Sox have fallen into a deeper slump than most of us ever imagined possible, the “Chicken Little” mentality that was once prevalent throughout Red Sox Nation has slowly transformed into the “Mob” mentality. Yes, that’s right folks. People throughout New...

There hasn’t been a lot of good news surrounding the Sox lately. I’m sure it seems like the all hope is lost, but the fact of the matter is this team has had some really great performances from a number of players this season. This week’s poll...

Sure there was the 20+ innings pitched in Triple-A before his callup and a few good starts for Andrew Miller, but there is a reason he has been passed around do often. Miller has control problems and no matter how hard he throws left handed he can’t compensate...

While Tim Wakefield and Alfredo Aceves have stepped up big-time filling in for John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka, we have to be realistic about our expectations for their future performance. Wakefield hasn’t posted an ERA or FIP under 4.50 since 2008 and...

By now, I’m sure you’ve all heard the awful news. Daisuke Matsuzaka has a partial tear of his ulner collateral ligament and strained flexor mass in his throwing elbow, and may (and I stress may) have to undergo Tommy John surgery. (Please, folks. Try to refrain...
