After sweeping Jose Altuve (because, let’s face it, he was the only Astros player worth a damn), the Boston Red Sox (18-7, 3 game lead in the AL East) fly north of the border to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (9-17, 9.5 games behind in the AL East) in a...

Like many of you, I grew up with Lance Armstrong as one of my select few heroes. Every June, for seven straight years (1999-2005), I would watch Lance throttle his Tour de France competition into submission. He was a cancer survivor, philanthropist, PED-less cyclist,...

The Red Sox are going to need the ball to bounce the right way – a lot – if they want to win the American League East in 2013. Last week, we highlighted three things the Sox will have to do well if they want to take the division. The list included bounce-back...

I have to admit that I’m pretty surprised by the generally negative reaction that the Shane Victorino deal has received amongst members of the national news media and some of the more hardcore members of the Red Sox fan base. While in a vacuum this deal should raise...

Given the sheer magnitude of the August trade that sent $256 million packing to Los Angeles, you’d think the Red Sox wouldn’t be too into the idea of spending a ton of money this offseason to upgrade their roster. Or maybe they are… Several reports over the past two...

The other half of the best rivalry in sports, The New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers “only” ended up with 89 victories last season. And the key players they inked this past off-season, have them looking incredibly strong on paper for this upcoming 2009...

Mike Mussina DID get lucky last time out against the Boston Red Sox, but tonight Mussina’s luck ran out after facing Manny Ramirez. Ramirez jacked two home runs off of Mussina and “Moose” was chased from the game after three innings of work. The...

Much like this year’s political campaigns, Yankee fans want change. Ever since the Luis Gonzalez bloop single fell into shallow left field, ending the Yankee reign atop the baseball world, the franchise has seemingly never been the same. And ǃ˙never been the...

Will the Johan Santana sweepstakes ever end? Just when it appeared the conclusion of a deal was gaining momentum over the strenuous winter meetings, the Miguel Cabrera blockbuster either set Nashville off-kilter or Red Sox GM Theo Epstein decided to celebrate Hanukkah...
