We have officially hit the off season and can continue to root against the AL East for the next few weeks or so. If you are like me, you will be rooting for the Texas Rangers and old friend David Murphy or perhaps the exciting, yet overlooked Cincinnati Reds. As long...

“Looks like Jesus, Acts like Judas, Throws like Mary.” Remember when that happened? Well, Judas may be on his way back to Beantown. The Red Sox have claimed former postseason hero Johnny Damon off of waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Damon has yet to decide whether or...

At NESN, I wrote an article theorizing if Jacoby Ellsbury could add power to his game. I drew quick and dirty comparisons to Johnny Damon and Carl Crawford, arguing that Ellsbury can expect to see an uptick in power production in the future. I wanted to expound on...

Johnny Damon came to Boston for the tail-end of the previous regime, getting a taste for how unpopular the club was among players at the time. Damon’s autobiography, Idiot: Beating “The Curse” and Enjoying the Game of Life, related that an unnamed...

Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Okay, let’s take a break from the two obvious left-fielder candidates and focus on other free agents that could be manning left...

Tony Masserotti via Boston.com: “And before anyone suggests that Damon has benefited solely from the laughable right field at Yankee Stadium, let’s remember that his game-tying home run last night was a laser that landed in the Yankees bullpen, just to the...

The other half of the best rivalry in sports, The New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers “only” ended up with 89 victories last season. And the key players they inked this past off-season, have them looking incredibly strong on paper for this upcoming 2009...

Josh Beckett had trouble in the first inning, but Mike Lowell picked him up launching a three-run home run in the fifth inning and also collected a sac-fly in the third for the win. Boston came into this series just wanting to split but they now have a chance to pick...
