I may have trust issues, so excuse my hesitance to put any real meaning into early individual numbers. But they are all we have up to this point… The team, and by team I mean the Boston Red Sox, is 7-6. Not great, not bad, slightly better than mediocre, etc....

Dustin Pedroia, you say you are experiencing cold-like symptoms? Boom! 15-day DL. Jason Varitek, you say that you don’t feel quite like you did when were 31 years old? See ya! 15-day DL. So they aren’t that careful with their personnel. But they are...

New Poll Question: What early season situation most concerns you? We all know that the season hasn’t started off firing on all cylinders. It’s also fair to assume that Dustin Pedroia won’t bat under .200 over the course of the season, so...

Sample size, sample size, sample size! Remember the thing that increases the accuracy of whatever the available data happens to be? The offense has stunk it up. Not denying that. But the hitters have had to face some pretty good pitching so far too. Matt Garza has...

One series down, 53 or so left to play. While Opening Day proved to be everything we could have hoped for to kick off the season, the remainder of the series belonged to the Tampa Bay Rays. Early season series against top flight division rivals are always difficult...
