This decade has been the most monumental in the franchise’s history. Not only did new ownership arrive, but Fenway Park was revitalized, a Nation was born (in the media, that is), a new generation of stars (Nomar, Manny, Pedro, Big Papi, Papelbon, Pedroia) put...

This is not a typo. Any resemblance between the Kei Igawa who shut down the Pawtucket Red Sox on Wednesday night and the Kei Igawa who got lit up last season by American League batters was pure coincidence. Igawa, who

The upcoming series at Yankee Stadium has been circled on the calendars of Red Sox fans across the world since the schedules were announced this past spring. With memories of last year’s Boston Massacre still fresh in our minds, we looked forward to this series...

Hello folks. Jim Johnson here from The Bronx Block. I’m currently watching the Sox help the Yankees in their task of securing the Wild Card and I thought, “Hmm, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one another.” So I thought I’d come...

Ah, the New York Yankees. Hated team and bitter rival to the Red Sox. The Stadium affectionately referred to as The Toilet … the home of The Slap … and the rivalry never reached heightened levels (and probably never will again) from 2003-2004 with the...

There is absolutely nothing going on in Red Sox land lately. The most recent transaction or news of any kind came four long and agonizing days ago when the Red Sox signed Runelvys Hernandez (scroll to see the Royals Authority’s take on this releasing of...

Not much going on today, but you have an article from Zach to look forward to for tomorrow! One thing that got lost in all the MVN.com changeover is the guest columnists, who should be posting on Wednesdays but they have no login information. Hopefully I can get that...

– From RH in the comments: The Red Sox have agreed to a 5-year deal worth $74Million with JD Drew. – Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers still looks like the best possibility, but word is there are many other interested teams inquiring that we don’t know...

There are two Japanese players that the Red Sox have their eye on other than the famed Daisuke Matsuzaka, and we should know by the end of the week who the winning bid was from, which will solve a lot of things – either that team gets him, or Daisuke returns to...

With a wicked Adam Wainwright curveball thrown past a swinging Brandon Inge for the last out of the World Series, the off season is upon us. Sox fans have endured an interminable postseason, a boring October compared to the last three years, and now some of the fun...
