It was a quiet off day in Red Sox Nation, as the team headed back to Fenway after a weekend in Toronto. Boston is set to meet the Tampa Bay Rays for the first time this year, as John Lackey squares off against Erik Bedard. Like the Red Sox, the Rays have stumbled out...

The human heart is essential for life. It pumps blood through our system and without it, a person can’t live. The same applies to the heart of a baseball order and a team’s success. A team could have a flailing heart that could lead to a dead offense, much...

Around this time ever year, we hit that tipping point where most of the offseason’s notable moves have already occurred. Sure, there are some free agents left to sort out (I.E. Stephen Drew, Nelson Cruz, Ubaldo Jimenez, etc.), but for the most part, the bigger pieces...

Miguel Cabrera is returning to first base this season in the wake of the Prince Fielder trade, and while this move has a variety of implications for the Detroit Tigers, I’m more interested in what it means for third base as a position overall. With some positions in...

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...

The Red Sox are up two games to none on the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, and they have yet to use their best starting pitcher. This is something you already know, of course, but it’s incredible enough that it bears repeating. What’s perhaps more notable is that this...

It’s the American League Division Series! And just look who the Red Sox have to play again! Meanwhile, listen to this badly overplayed Fall Out Boy song while you contemplate the first game today. TAMPA BAY RAYS – 92-71, finished in 2nd place in the AL...

The long wait is nearly over. After clinching the American League East on September 20, and the American League’s best record on September 28, it took until October 2 to finally learn the Red Sox Divisional Round opponent for the 2013 playoffs. Once again, a familiar...

ESPN’s standings currently have the Red Sox sitting at a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs. So is it a lock that Boston will once against be dancing in October? Of course not! But just how close are they to winning the AL East? Even if the Red Sox go a modest 7-8...

Sort of an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” situation for the Red Sox here, huh? They just finish with a hard-fought series victory over the New York Yankees only to run into the magma-hot Rays from St. Pete. We always want more baseball, and this...
