by Troy Patterson | Dec 19, 2011 | Boston Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, Mike Aviles, Nick Punto
Immediate reaction to the Nick Punto signing was mixed and there was plenty of comments on his perception as “gritty”, “a winner” or soon to be “dirt dog”. That is all good for laughs, but unlike some players with those qualities...

When Terry Francona was released/fired/not re-upped/left on his own accord, the question of the offseason for the Boston Red Sox became, “who will play cribbage with Dustin Pedroia now?” No word if new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine likes his 15-2’s...

David Ortiz wants it to happen. Should you? The lead in the Wild Card standings is down to two games and the starting rotation continues to be the Red Sox biggest weakness. While I appreciate the effort from guys like Tim Wakefield and Kyle Weiland, they’re not...

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...

Fair or not, the 2011 Red Sox have been compared to the 1946 Red Sox since before the season began. The reason why is clear: the 1946 Red Sox was the last Red Sox team to win 100 games, going 104-50, good for a .675 winning percentage. The 2011 Red Sox are currently...

Last nigh, with one swing of the bat, Jacoby Ellsbury thrust himself upward as perhaps the top contender for AL MVP. Stats are one thing, but some of the baseball writers that vote on awards seem to love when a player asserts himself down the stretch, especially if...

Alright ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another round of news, notes, and observation. Dustin Pedroia – During Pedroia’s torrid 25 game hitting streak, he’s produced an impressive .404/.459/.752 triple slash with nine home runs and nine...
