On October 20th at Fenway Park under the bright lights, he found redemption. All year, he struggled to find a niche in his new home, with fans already against him being there. It was a long, taxing year for him personally as his son struggled through a malady of...

It’s December 31. That means that Fire Brand has hit its fourth-year anniversary and it comes on the heels of what was by all designs a grand year for the Red Sox and a grand year for Boston. Boston put itself squarely on the map as the current capital of the...

The defensive play from the corner infield positions was remarkable last season. Hopefully, this year Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis can continue that stellar defense. Electrified by their second baseman Dustin Pedroia, Boston had a strong defensive right side of the...

Well, the Red Sox made a free agent move today (no, not Alex Rodriguez, folks) and made their arbitration tenders and nontenders. And they are… Red Sox sign Jon Van Every. Every hit .344/.416/.583 in 151 at-bats for AA Akron (Cleveland). He went up the ladder to...

Most Valuable Network’s Most Valuable Rookie of the 2007 season is Dustin Luis Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox. His stats alone justify the award, factor in his perseverance and leadership and you realize Pedroia is a special player. He has been celebrated and...

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...
by zach hayes | Nov 12, 2007 | Dustin Pedroia
A well-deserved accomplishment for our second baseman in his first full big league season. The fashion in which Dustin proved all of his doubters wrong, including yours truly who vowed for another year of Loretta, was well documented throughout the year on this...

Without the designated hitter the Boston Red Sox still proved they were the better team as Jacoby Ellsbury lead the team on offense with four hits, two runs, and two RBIs in the 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. Daisuke Matsuzaka earned the win pitching for 5 1/3...

Dane Cook may need to make a new commercial: Beckettober. Josh Beckett (4-0 on the postseason) proved again why he is the number one starter for the Boston Red Sox pitching for 7 innings, six hits, one earned run, one walk, and nine strikeouts as Boston won 13-1....

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...
