After taking only one of four from the Yankees and getting four days off for the All-Star break, the Boston Red Sox (43-43, 9.5 games back) go to St. Petersburg, Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Rays (45-41, 7.5 games back) in a three-game series. The Red Sox are a...

The Red Sox closed the first half of the season last night in the same fashion they started it: with a loss. Boston boasts an even 43-43 record as their lone All-Star representative, David Ortiz, heads to Kansas City for the midsummer classic. Needless to say, it’s...

I’m not going to waste any time today. On to the mailbag! With Jon Lester not performing like the ace we expected, do you see the Sox making a bid for a proven ace? Zack Greinke or King Felix are the two I would love to see GM Ben Cherington pursue. I would be...

Having earned a split against the surprisingly tough Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox (42-37, 6-4 in the last 10 games) travel to Oakland for a three-game set against the Athletics (38-42, 4-6 in the last 10 games). Billy Beane has always loved young pitchers and...

On Sunday afternoon, a couple of friends and I went to Baltimore to watch the Nationals play the Orioles at Camden Yards. Despite it being a low scoring, it was pretty exciting game, nevertheless. Any time you can watch young stars like Bryce Harper, Matt Wieters,...

After taking two of three against the pesky Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox (40-35) wing it to the West Coast to take on the foundering Seattle Mariners (32-45). The Mariners are 4-6 in their last 10 games, while the Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10. The Sox are...

I’ve never been a fan of voting for the All-Star game when ballots first open in April. I get that voting is a popularity contest and geared toward casual fans, but I like my vote to count. That’s why I always hold my ballot off until the last two or three...

Having swept the Miami Marlins out of Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox (36-33) welcome the Atlanta Braves (37-32) back to their true home of Boston. The Braves are in third place in the National League East, four games behind the Washington Nationals, while the Red Sox...

Having taken two of three at the overly-friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the Boston Red Sox (33-33) return to Fenway Park to begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game set against the Miami Marlins (33-33). Many of the Marlins’ hitting stars are ice cold,...

Obnoxious Boston Fan. Perhaps you’ve heard of him. He’s the latest in a long string of irrational writers the Boston Globe, once a paragon of sports media, has on their payroll. Their sole purpose? Creating visceral reactions that drive newspaper...
