The Red Sox have been a model of consistency this past offseason, a striking departure from their modus operandi in 2004. For the most part, the 25-man roster is settled except for the bullpen, which is shaping up to be a battle for the last two spots. Running through...

Here’s a curious case. There are 16 major league pitchers on the active roster. I can only select one who should not make the postseason roster: Devern Hansack, who has pitched 7.2 IP on the year so far this year. Those innings came May 8, 19 and September 8....

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...
