The first instant I saw the Buster Olney report outlining the Red Sox willingness to include Jacoby Ellsbury in a Johan Santana deal, I nearly spit out my cereal. What could they be thinking? Why is upgrading at an area that is seemingly a strength heading into next...

The negotiations: It’s been an interesting off-season so far. It hasn’t been hectic like past off-seasons, but it’s nigh early. Thanksgiving has passed, and a chance to go dine with a player’s family for Thanksgiving has as well (but...

Jonathan Papelbon, dominating closer, notorious riverdance performer, had an interview with WEEI’s Dennis and Callahan show this morning, here are some highlights. When discussing Johan Santana, Papelbon liked the proposed deal of Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Justin...

Before absolutely crucifying me for writing this, understand that I am a fan of Jacoby Ellsbury, as I made very clear in my article yesterday. Consequently, his trade value as it stands right now will never be higher; this is a prospect who projects to be a good...

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...

Editor’s Note: Sorry this post is late, got caught in a central Pennsylvania snowstorm on the way home from Philadelphia last night. Costello: Well then who’s on first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow’s name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy...

Without the designated hitter the Boston Red Sox still proved they were the better team as Jacoby Ellsbury lead the team on offense with four hits, two runs, and two RBIs in the 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. Daisuke Matsuzaka earned the win pitching for 5 1/3...

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...
