On Friday, Manuel Aristides (Onelcida) Ramirez returns to Fenway Park for the first time since July 31, 2008. How do you feel about this? As a reporter, I like it for the story line. Personally, I am not emotionally vested in Manny’s return. Then again, I am a...

It didn’t take long for David Ortiz to ask for a “power” bat to protect him in the lineup after Manny Ramirez was traded. This was oddly timed last year as the team was returning Jason Bay to the lineup and was expecting big things from him. Now...

When Boston fans look back on the 2000s years from now, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez will only have grown in stature. For the rest of all our natural lives, any dominating three-four duo in the lineup will be compared to Papi/ManRam to determine ‘the best...

Should be interesting to watch this play out. Can’t say I’m surprised: in this day in age, can you be? The Red Sox have finally been touched directly by the present-day steroids scandal. (Sorry, Paxton Crawford: you weren’t significant enough to...

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...

Papelbon/Ramirez – guano The popular Red Sox (and sports?) story today is going to be Jonathan Papelbon coming out with both barrels aflame at one Manuel Aristides Ramirez in the April Esquire issue. Thanks to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald, these quotes...

…But Jason Bay is pretty darn good. “The Red Sox need to replace Manny.” “Jason Bay won’t be able to handle the pressure of Boston.” These are variations of quotes that I have been hearing ever since Manny was traded, and Bay being...

Alex Rodriguez will have hip surgery and be out for 10 weeks, or until May. Who the heck will play the hot corner for them? Cody Ransom? Angel Berroa? Hah! Methinks they’ll ink either Ray Durham or Mark Grudzielanek… or hey, could a Bobby Crosby trade be...

A couple years ago, The Fielding Bible took baseball by storm with John Dewan’s Plus/Minus system to evaluate fielders. This year, he’s back at it with The Fielding Bible–Volume II in which he takes all the metrics created in the original volume and...

The Can-Am Worcester Tornadoes have offered Manny Ramirez a contract for two years at $24,000. With Worcester as my birth city and a city I still frequent multiple times a week, it would be great if he signed. The Tornadoes have had former Red Sox prospects play for...
