7/21: “I solve problems”



Those pesky Yankees are back aside us at the top of the AL East. I couldn't think of a better day for the Stopper to come to work.

Reminds you of the "Wolf" doesn't he?

Halfway Home

Red Sox vs. OriolesThe 2009 Boston Red Sox are halfway through their season, 49-32 through their first 81 games. The Red Sox not only hold a 1.5 game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East, but also the best record in the American League, trailing over the Dodgers and their .634 winning percentage for the best record in baseball.

The halfway point marks an interesting time to not only take stock of the season that has come to pass, but also to look out at the road ahead and evaluate the terrain that lies between here and the ultimate destination.

7/7: Stop the slide



Is it me or is there the feeling of an "into the break" malaise overtaking this team? With six games between here and the All-Star Break, its time to snap out of it and hit the break hard.

OAK 6, BOS 0: The Return of Nomar

Brett Anderson knew all the spotlight would be on Nomar Garciaparra which eased him into the game. Anderson, however, managed to be the show last night at Fenway Park.

Poll: Hypothetically thinking ahead

New Poll Question:
Who is more important for the Red Sox to extend past their current contracts?
  • Jason Bay
  • Josh Beckett
It's very likely that both JB's could end up staying in Boston past their current contracts, but if you were held feet to the fire and forced to choose just one right now, who would it be?

As always, new poll is up to the right...vote away and argue it out in the comments.
