I couldn’t be happier with that result in the Bronx. Two out of three and a good start to the season for many players. Heck, Farrell’s even gotten praise this early. Dust has replaced their blood. AARP is just waiting for them to be members. And yet, Andy...

We’re three games into the season, and we essentially know nothing about the 2013 Red Sox. Well, that’s not exactly true. If you’ve visited this blog or have been living in New England at all for the past six months, you’ve probably read a little Red Sox analysis here...

There are many things that are less than desirable about living in Upstate New York. The weather is not particularly favorable for roughly 6-7 months a year, our property taxes are exorbitantly high for some unknown reason, and the place is absolutely crawling with...

Who likes watching fun teams? I like watching fun teams. And from what I saw, the 2013 Red Sox will be fun. So strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride. Sure, it’s a bit early to do this, but why not give credit where credit is due? The new Red Sox skipper did a...

The Boston Red Sox (69-93, 26 games back in 2012) visit the Bronx to open the 2013 season with a three-game set against their perennial rivals, the New York Yankees (95-67, first place in the AL East in 2012). New faces are plentiful in Boston but injuries are the...

In just one week, your Red Sox will take the field for their first game of 2013. Kick back, grab a bottle of your favorite brew, and prepare to enjoy the sweetness that is Boston baseball. What kind of links post would this be if Jackie Bradley wasn’t the first...

I don’t know about you guys, but I have a doozy of a Friday ahead of me. 10 hours of work in an MLB team shop. Let the fun begin, right? I hate to sound like a cold-hearted fan here, but with Jackie Bradley in the fold, he makes Jacoby Ellsbury pretty much...

Alfredo Aceves — Crazy (Gnarls Barkley) As a general rule of thumb, anyone who chooses their number as a tribute to Dennis Rodman has a screw, or two, lose. Aceves is certainly not an exception. Andrew Bailey — Everybody Hurts (REM) Every player gets hurt...

I’m ready for baseball. Let’s be honest, basketball is my first sports love. For the past few years, the Celtics have captured my attention more than any of my other teams. I know those guys. I’ve watched them since the Big Three came together in 2008. I’ve watched...

So after taking a more intensive look at Jonny Gomes yesterday, it’s time to take a look at Shan Victorino and what he might bring to the Red Sox in 2013. While Victorino’s contract was either brilliant or awful depending on who you talk to, there’s no denying that...
