I don’t care if it’s spring training, after back-to-back televised games, you can’t go back to radio-only broadcasts. I’m starting to think this whole “spring training” thing is a big tease. Without a pure lead-off hitter on the...

I don’t even care that it was two college teams. The Red Sox played baseball yesterday. They pitched and hit and scored runs and stuff. It all still counts. We’re not always the optimistic sort, but the 2014 Red Sox look different and not as 2013-like. Is...

It’s back! Baseball is back! Break out the party poppers! Start the ticker-tape parades down every main avenue and street! There’s actual baseball being played today! It’s been missing in action for a few years now, and Dustin Pedroia has noticed....

Brace yourselves, folks – we’re starting to drift into Best Shape Of His Life (BSOHL) territory. Who’s gonna be on that list? Hopefully a certain Domincan left-hander. The Red Sox offense may have lost a step, but it’s still a very potent...

I can remember it like it was yesterday.
It was August of 2004. Fresh off the controversial Nomar trade (or the Dave Roberts trade, if you prefer) the Red Sox we’re grinding through another summer as a fan base full of helpless saps who hoped that somehow, someway,...

The stress of the playoffs is killing me. Everything from Tim McCarver and Joe Buck droning on about the most ridiculous of narratives; Farrell’s insistence on starting Jonny Gomes over Daniel Nava when facing right handed starting pitching (the last two nights...

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...

First things first: RED SOX PLAYOFF BASEBALL! How great is this?! As I write this paragraph, the Sox lead the Rays in Game 2, 5-1, following yet another Stephen Drew triple (he does that often). This coming after a 12-2 romp at Fenway yesterday… well, I haven’t felt...

Last Friday night, the Red Sox earned their 94th win in 155 games played, with the last out fittingly coming on a Koji Uehara strikeout. The win sealed the first division title for the Red Sox since 2007, and their seventh AL East title since the division was formed...
