Prior to tonight, the Red Sox have only played in 15 World Series games in my lifetime. I was too young to really have any recollection of the first seven, but those last eight have been something that I will never forget. What will the next four to seven games bring?...

Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this… It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire...

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals are both very good teams, and that is why they are meeting in the World Series. The Red Sox finished first in the majors in runs scored, doubles, OBP and OPS. Their pitching staff finished 14th in the league in ERA, seventh...

I believe in the value of sabermetrics and I also believe in baseball voodoo magic, so take that how you will. — Daniel Poarch (@PoarchDaniel) October 17, 2013 I’m a pretty normal and reasonable guy.

Until I got home last night at about 1:30 a.m. and watched reruns of David Ortiz’ eight-inning grand slam, I didn’t know that Torii Hunter had fallen into the Red Sox bullpen. This is strange, because I was sitting 20 rows in the section directly behind said bullpen....

Below find Andre’s take on attending Game 2 of the ALCS. Later today, you’ll hear from Ben, who was also at one of the best playoff games in Red Sox memory… I really am blessed to call myself one of the luckiest Red Sox fans alive. No, I really am. I...

It’s a good thing I don’t have to work today since I couldn’t get any sleep after what the Red Sox & Patriots did last night. Unbelievably surreal. There are no words. Only emotions that we all still have from what transpired last night. Down,...

Much has been made of the complete overhaul the Red Sox underwent in the offseason. Multiple players were brought in, changing the entire culture of the team. Perhaps more importantly, the front office claimed a familiar face to lead the team. John Farrell’s...

Considering how time seemed to slow down a ton in the ALDS, it feels like forever since the Red Sox played a game. Yay for anxiety and years off my life! No matter how hardened the person, the postseason exacts a toll on all of us, be it our patience or our energy....

We just went through a week of backs to the wall. Boston is lovely this time of year — looking forward to coming back in a couple days. — Joe Maddon (@RaysJoeMaddon) October 6, 2013 Feel free to come back and catch an ALCS game from the stands, Joe! Wow, do I...
