The Red Sox hit a bump in the road over the weekend and through Monday in the Metrodome, losing three of four mainly due to lackluster starts from Lester, Wakefield and Buchholz. Still, Boston sits above its competition in the American League with a 24-17 record and...

Last night, I participated in a chat over at New England Sports Country. Here are some questions I answered… “Why isn’t Devern Hansack in the equation for #5”? His #’s are worthy . . . in AA and Boston 2006, and AAA 2007 (his 3.61ERA....

Other than Opening Day, unquestionably my favorite day of the regular season occurs on the last day of July. The trading deadline brings rumors to fruition, anticipation and anxiety to new levels and the constant refreshing of sites like MLB Trade Rumors and Rotoworld...

Last night was one of the more frustrating games of the Red Sox season. Fausto Carmona was dealing, mixing pitches with perfection and keeping our lineup off balance all night, and it almost seemed like a lost cause. The Sox were putrid last night against the Indians...

Did you know that the trading deadline is a scant two weeks away? There’s always a lot more bluster than there is actual trading and that’s been the case the last couple of years, but there are some tangential rumors out there involving the Red Sox. The...

Reading through game threads, talking to fellow Red Sox fans and hearing the complaints of a nation, the general spotlight heading into the All-Star Break seems to be flashing on the man upstairs. No, I

J.D. Drew shut up some nay-sayers with his clutch RBI single in the eighth inning that lead to a 6-5 Boston Red Sox and a series sweep over the Texas Rangers (18-32). The Sox improved to a Major League best 34-15 in a come from behind victory. Julian Tavarez, the...
