Anyone who knows my work is aware I rarely cite statistics. I am spell bound by sabermetrics, especially the work by my colleagues over at Statistically Speaking. Honestly, I probably read their work more than any other site on the network. However, I refuse to allow...

A line of .296/.388/.493 would be considered a success by most every single baseball player on the planet. Unless you’re Manny Ramirez. That line represented his worst statistical line since 1994 at the tender age of 22, a year before becoming a full-time...

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at this year

Coin it a new term: The Papa-Jima show. Curt Schilling called the duo of Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon the Papa-Jima show after both dominated the Colorado Rockies in the 2-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series. Both combined for 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief...

Dane Cook may need to make a new commercial: Beckettober. Josh Beckett (4-0 on the postseason) proved again why he is the number one starter for the Boston Red Sox pitching for 7 innings, six hits, one earned run, one walk, and nine strikeouts as Boston won 13-1....

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

So the honeymoon’s over. Prior to last night, this postseason had a charmed feeling to it. I was one of the many Red Sox leaping to foregone conclusions. I received an email informing me that I was not a winner of the World Series ticket lottery, so my friend...

David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. The ultimate duo has made opposing pitchers wake up the night before a start against the Red Sox, covered in sweat and panting. They bring the debates to the table such as Gehrig-Ruth or Ortiz-Ramirez? Big Papi with his towering home...

David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez set the pace for the Red Sox offense who reached base a combined 10 times and Josh Beckett earned the win pitching for 6 innings with seven strikeouts beating the Cleveland Indians 10-3. Ortiz was 2-2 with two walks and Ramirez was 2-2...

Game 1: Wednesday, October 3rd. One of the great things about playoff baseball is that it brings old friends together. Especially for fans that have left their home team
