17 of the starting 25 Red Sox for 2009 have much to prove this season. Of this number, 15 are rebounding from injuries which plagued 2008. This is not a bad thing, as the entire team will be extraordinarily motivated to do well, to win, to pull together and help each...

Bill James has come out with his new handbook for 2009, and in the handbook are the early statistical projections for players next year. This may be especially significant in the case of the Red Sox, as James has a vast amount of knowledge of players in the Red Sox...

With the news that Josh Beckett has been pushed back to Game 3 of the ALDS, perhaps longer, this changes the complexion of the series. No longer is The October Ace a definite to take the hill against the Angels, but the Red Sox will have to protect themselves and...

July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...

A 16-11 swing has left the Sox in second place to start July, behind the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Today comes the hated, the vaunted meek New York Yankees. Let’s kick butt and take names! Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To the Fire...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell both hit grandslams over the Green Monster while Daisuke Matsuzaka stayed perfect on the season improving his record to 8-0 as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals 11-8. Boston completed the sweep of the seven game homestand behind Matsuzaka...

The Milwaukee Brewers have tossed their hat into the ring for Julian Tavarez’s services, so the Sox may be able to extract a legitimate prospect for Sexy Lips after all. I can’t say I’m surprised at this news because a couple days ago when I was...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....
