“If there are any Red Sox management here, you cannot let ‘Tek go. You have to keep him in Boston. He was our head, our captain. He should retire as a member of the Red Sox, and never leave.” That was the quote from Red Sox great Pedro Martinez as...

I have advice for all you Red Sox fans: Stop paying attention until the New Year. I am just asking you to walk away. I thought as a fanbase we had grown past the internal witch hunts and doomsday behavior, but too many of you are disappointing and need to just take...

Today is a great day. The Red Sox won in nailbiting fashion to keep pace with the Rays in the Wild Card race last night; Oriole killer, Jon Lester, will toe the rubber in the most important game of the season; and I ousted Titanium399 as Mayor of the IRS National...

Is the emergence of Jarrod Saltalamacchia at all a surprise to anyone? Were you expecting him to settle in so nicely? Given the hype of his star from the day he was drafted you would have expected him to shine so brightly it would blind you. So for a lot of people, he...

Fair or not, the 2011 Red Sox have been compared to the 1946 Red Sox since before the season began. The reason why is clear: the 1946 Red Sox was the last Red Sox team to win 100 games, going 104-50, good for a .675 winning percentage. The 2011 Red Sox are currently...

With the Red Sox sitting on top of the AL East world, albeit by a slim half-game margin, there’s really not a lot from which we can complain. Sure, we could complain about John Lackey (and I’m sure I will at least once in this piece), but Darryl and...

According to the Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Red Sox have made contact with the Bengie Molina camp. “While the Red Sox have made contact with free-agent catcher Bengie Molina, they are not yet ready to move on him, according to major-league sources. Molina,...
