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 –...

The Red Sox (11-16) get out of town, and none too soon, to play a three-game series against the lowly Kansas City Royals (9-18). The Royals have some talent but not enough to, you know, consistently win. The Royals will host the 2012 MLB All-Star Game to celebrate the...

This is a pretty long mailbag, so I’m just going to hop right into it. No time for discussion. No time for clever narratives today. It’s all mail, all the time. I hope you have a strong stomach because you’re really going to need it today…...

As you already know, unless you just got back from the middle of Antarctica, the Red Sox made a move to help ease the pain of their injured outfield. Marlon Byrd, 34, is now a member of the Sox and the team needs him to find a way out of his 3-for-43 start at the...

After taking a look at all four of the 2011 first round picks signed by the Red Sox, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the current roster and see where everyone came from. You’ll notice a bit of home-grown talent as well as some former first...

I had a really grand article planned for today, but due to the craziness that is my life, I wasn’t able to get it together in time. Since it was going to be on the upcoming Yankee-Red Sox series, it’s not something that I will be able to run next week. I...

.271/.340/.452, 20 HR, 43 SB, 94 R and 82 RBI in 641 PA’s That’s an all-star. That’s a fantasy beast. That’s the 2011 projection for Ryan Kalish published by Bill James. Look, I’m a big Ryan Kalish fan (and a huge Bill James fan), but...

Last night’s 6-0 victory over the Angels didn’t gain the Sox any games in the standings. With the Yankees and Rays both victorious, Boston still sits five and a half games behind the AL East’s co-leaders. You’d be forgiven, though, if you felt...
