There are times when one must be composed, polite and relatively quiet. The duck boat parade on Saturday was not one of them. Because World Champs, that’s why. How did this team win it all? Every single player on the 25-man roster contributed in some way, shape...

One more. Uno mas. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. End it here, Boston. Win tonight, and the Red Sox are on top of the world. He witnessed first hand what happened in the 2011 World Series, and Mike Napoli doesn’t wish for a repeat...

Will the guy who bet on Game 3 to end on an obstruction call please come up and claim his millions? Feel lucky, sir. Because that’s something you will never see again. These games just get more and more ridiculous the longer this series goes on. Unlikely heroes,...

I’m still at a loss for words after last night. That was some awful defense and even worse decision-making all around. Just punted away a win there. We loved the Cardinals making error after error on Wednesday night. But Thursday night, it was the Red...

We just went through a week of backs to the wall. Boston is lovely this time of year — looking forward to coming back in a couple days. — Joe Maddon (@RaysJoeMaddon) October 6, 2013 Feel free to come back and catch an ALCS game from the stands, Joe! Wow, do I...

Well, everyone, there’s just a week of 30-team baseball left. I can hear your heart drop from here. It’s very sad, I know. The end is nigh, at least for 20 other teams. After winning the AL East pennant, it seems like the one word that was used the most is...

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington entered the 2012-2013 offseason with an open mind and an open checkbook. After a disastrous 2012 campaign that resulted in 69 wins and the salary dump to end all salary dumps, Cherington finally got the keys to the car to spend the money...

“And down the stretch they come!” Once again the calendar turns from August to September. Thankfully this time around the Red Sox are not only back in the race, they are, in fact, leading the race. Boston entered August 65-44, up 0.5 games in the American...

Xander Bogaerts has been the focal point of the majority of articles, analyses and conversations about Red Sox prospects for the past four months. You don’t have to watch Bogaerts for very long to see that such attention is certainly warranted, and it’s been fun to...
