Poor Jon Lester. Has a good game and gets yanked because of an injury. Just can’t catch a break lately, even when the going’s good. All it took for the Red Sox to win last night was one inning of offense. Seven runs scored in the second inning and another...

Let’s just stop and talk about the AL East for a second. The American League East, in all its greatness, has all FIVE teams with a record over .500, and all of them are within 7 games of first place with roughly 80 games to go. How can you not be excited for any...

After earning a series win in the Bronx, the Boston Red Sox (2-1, tied for first in the AL East) go to the Great White North to take on the new-look Toronto Blue Jays (1-2, tied for third in the AL East). In Toronto, you definitely can’t tell your players...

Baseball’s offseason sucks. Well, alright, every sports offseason sucks. But baseball’s feels worse, somehow. Maybe it’s just how slowly it moves. There’s no real free agent blitz like there is in football; it can be months before free agents...

I was over at Sons of Sam Horn the other day and stumbled across this interesting thread with the idea of trading Jacoby Ellsbury to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Tim Lincecum. It certainly tickled my fancy but before I could put pen to paper, I noticed my...
