There are only two categories of people in this world: People who put people into two categories, and those that don’t. I am in the first category. One of the many groups of people that I put into two categories are relief pitchers. When you see the bullpen door open...

So today Houghton Mifflin released several excerpts from Terry Francona and Dan Shaughnessy’s new book “Francona: The Red Sox Years” which is due to hit shelves in a few days and my oh my, what a stir it caused. Well, not really. Things like owners being worried about...

Having lost two of three to the lowly Royals, the Boston Red Sox (12-18) return to Fenway Park to start a six-game homestand against the first place Cleveland Indians (17-15). First place? Somebody get Harry Doyle some more Jack Daniels. STARTING PITCHERS –...

This guest post was written by Matt Collins of Red Stockings Thoughts, a blog about the Red Sox. When most people look back on this past Red Sox season, they’ll most likely discuss the starting pitching’s faltering down the stretch, John Lackey’s horrid season, or...

A few nights ago, I had another ill-advised argument regarding Matt Albers on Twitter with a certain Baseball Tonight anchor who shall remain nameless. It wasn’t pretty. Unlike last time, I won’t give you a play-by-play because quite frankly, we both came...

Dec. 18th, 2010 Merry Christmas, Boston. You have the makings of a shutdown bullpen. We could have written that headline last Christmas after the Red Sox stacked their bullpen with top-of-the-line relievers. The reliever binge made the 7th, 8th and 9th innings an...

photo © 2011 WEBN-TV | more info (via: Wylio)I can’t understand what the Red Sox are doing when it comes to Dan Wheeler. This man is clearly a right hand specialist and should never face a left handed batter. Monday night after getting through a right handed...

photo © 2010 Jack Zalium | more info (via: Wylio) No, the sky is not falling and, no, this doesn’t end the Red Sox chances of post season baseball, but it’s pretty damn annoying. The Sox are 0-and-5 and the pitching has been plain awful. If this losing...
