The Red Sox exited the house of horrors in Seattle, taking two of three and narrowly escaping a freak injury when the Mariner Moose’s ATV almost flattened Coco Crisp. As of this writing, the game between the Angels and Red Sox is still going on (don’t you...

Two years ago, I stepped in to defend Terry Francona against naysayers. That season, the Red Sox finished in a tie for the division with the Yankees, and we won the wild card due to the Yankees winning the head-to-head tiebreaker, having beaten us 10 games to nine....

What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...
