In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Red Sox lost Opening Day and went on to make the playoffs. In 2006, Opening Day was won and … well, let’s not talk about what happened after that. Curt Schilling simply was not on today. He didn’t have it from the start...

Craig Hansen has been optioned to Triple-A (gee, what a surprise…). Alex Ochoa has accepted his assignment to Triple-A, and could have a chance of coming up as a backup outfielder due to injury. Bryan Corey has been sent to minor league camp, which firms up the...

As we count down the days until pitchers and catchers report to Fort Myers next month, the rumblings around Red Sox Nation continue to be nothing but a whisper. The J.D. Drew contract situation is getting more and more mysterious with each day passing and our...

The Red Sox’s bullpen increased in size with the inking of Joel Pineiro to a one-year, $4 million contract. This means that the competition for the final one or two spots in the bullpen is now a lot tighter. The Red Sox will probably carry 12 pitchers until they...

Brendan Donnelly is signed. J.C. Romero is signed. Along with Timlin, Okajima, Delcarmen, Tavarez, Snyder, Corey and Hansen, the bullpen is almost complete. J.D. Drew (probably) and Julio Lugo fill out the lineup, and Daisuke Matsuzaka rounds out the rotation. The...

Another bullpen pitcher was acquired by the Red Sox today. Longtime Angel Brendan Donnelly, famously with safety glasses on the mound and hailing from independent baseball, is now a Boston Red Sox at the expense of Phil Seibel. Seibel made an amazing recovery from...
