After last night’s tough loss in Miami, the Red Sox sit a full seven games out of first place. Of course, if last season taught us anything, it’s that as long as a team is not mathematically eliminated, it’s never too late to make a run. Yet, it’s hard to look at this...

The Boston Red Sox (29-31), having been swept over the weekend by the Washington Nationals, take the show on the road for a three-game skein against the Miami Marlins (31-29). The Marlins are on a cold streak, having lost their last six games in a row. And the Red Sox...

Oh, no he didn’t! He don’t know Nick! He don’t know Nick! Shut up! Shut up! You know he looks good. You just jealous! Oh, I’m sorry. I was just channeling my “Jerry Springer white trash” persona for a second. Why would I do...

A report by CBS Sports’ Danny Knobler says that the Red Sox intend to trade third baseman Kevin Youkilis. Frankly, this is not very surprising. Youkilis is getting older and has had constant injury troubles in recent years. Even though he’s an elite...

Bobby Valentine has used many lineup combinations this season. I generally like what Bobby does with the playing time he gives players but I, like many, quibble with Bobby as to who leads off for the Red Sox. If you ask 100 baseball fans, they may have 100 answers for...

Having lost the series against the Rays on a tough loss on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox (23-24) welcome the Detroit Tigers (23-24) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. Detroit hasn’t had the start that most expected them to have this season, but the talent is...

Ok, boys and girls. By now you know the drill. People ask Nick questions, I intervene and answer correctly on his behalf. All “questioners” will remain nameless unless they truly deserve to be mocked. Luckily, no one has to be outed this...
