The most important thing that may have resulted from the World Series is how well we are set up to repeat next year. Every year, there are inevitably articles on why or why not the World Series champions will repeat the next year. It’s happened for as long as we...

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...

Coin it a new term: The Papa-Jima show. Curt Schilling called the duo of Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon the Papa-Jima show after both dominated the Colorado Rockies in the 2-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series. Both combined for 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief...

Dane Cook may need to make a new commercial: Beckettober. Josh Beckett (4-0 on the postseason) proved again why he is the number one starter for the Boston Red Sox pitching for 7 innings, six hits, one earned run, one walk, and nine strikeouts as Boston won 13-1....

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...

So the honeymoon’s over. Prior to last night, this postseason had a charmed feeling to it. I was one of the many Red Sox leaping to foregone conclusions. I received an email informing me that I was not a winner of the World Series ticket lottery, so my friend...
