Usually, I absolutely hate the off day after Opening Day. Not only does it seem like the longest day of the season, but it’s also a big tease as we still get to watch other teams play. But since the Red Sox off day was spent being hanging with the President and...

The Red Sox and Yankees met for the first time this spring on Tuesday afternoon. Felix Doubront encountered a speed bump in his other wise smooth spring, allowing 7 runs on 10 hits over 3.2 innings. Meanwhile, Boston’s lack luster line-up didn’t offer much...
