As you might have noticed, given your presence on this website at this particular moment in time, Fire Brand has made its way over to a new network, Bloguin, and has a nice, snazzy new design. Unfortunately, the new site does not yet allow me to post polls, so those...

Well, the most significant poll in Fire Brand history has finally concluded, and after a couple weeks of polling, Fire Brand readers sided with former Celtics forward Terrence Williams in correctly deciding that pineapple pizza is terrible. I’d just like to say...

WE DID IT! Last week’s poll was easily the most contested poll we’ve had to date, as I asked you if the Red Sox should trade Jon Lester (since traded to Oakland for Yoenis Cespedes, as I’m sure you know). Fire Brand readers decided that the Sox...

Polls are back! We’ve had a brief couple weeks off as I’ve been busy, you know, graduating from college. But now I’m getting back into the swing of things, and your supply of topical Red Sox polls should go unmolested for some time. A couple weeks...

Last week, accompanying pieces by Jack Keller and myself, I asked you how concerned you were with the Red Sox defense. Your answers essentially came out to “kind of?” The majority (43%) of you said you were “Moderately” concerned, while 31%...
