On the heels of the Sox’s fourth disappointing offensive game in a row, it’s becoming abundantly clear that despite the team’s top five offense, it’s a top five incapable of sustaining any sort of playoff-caliber offense. With that in mind, I...

Rumors abound that the Red Sox and Colorado Rockies have discussed a deal around reliever Takashi Saito for third-baseman Garrett Atkins, making roughly $7 million this year. Atkins began the year so poorly that he lost his starting job to Ian Stewart. On the season,...

With each growing day here in the early stages of Off-Season 2007-08, the idea of Mike Lowell taking the extra year + cash to play for a different team looks more and more truthful. The Red Sox have maintained through this process that they will not go further than...

Coin it a new term: The Papa-Jima show. Curt Schilling called the duo of Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon the Papa-Jima show after both dominated the Colorado Rockies in the 2-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series. Both combined for 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief...

Shortened World Series Know Thy Enemy due to a chaotic couple days here for the Fire Brand scribes, but I managed to write up a quick comparison between the Red Sox and Rockies in what should be a wild Fall Classic 2007…. INFIELD Rockies: Yorvit Torrealba, Todd...

The quest for 10-0 for Josh Beckett (9-1) was crushed by Colorado Rockies (33-33) third baseman Garrett Atkins who was 3-5 on the night including a grandslam off of Beckett. Atkins grandslam (5), in the top of third, broke open a game that was 1-0 in favor of the...
