Polls are back! With the new season approaching, we’re going to get back to weekly polls regarding recent news, events, and other general inanity. Before we talk about this week’s poll, however, let’s take a look at our offseason question. No...

Throughout the past decade, the third base position in Boston has been plentifully occupied with gritty, hard workers like Bill Mueller, Kevin Youkilis, and Mike Lowell, who helped the Red Sox reach new heights. Fast forward to 2013 and the position is a glaring weak...

All people care about these days is money. No really – all you’re going to hear is arbitration news. I don’t know what I’d rather hear about: details of the old Mike Napoli negotiations or…this. At least on the Boston front, arbitration...

See you later, Mike Lowell. It was fun for a while there. By now you know that Lowell is retiring at the end of 2010 following a 12-year career in which he collected three World Series rings (New York ’98, Florida ’03, Boston ’07), a World Series MVP and a legacy that...

For a brief shining moment there, it seemed like these Red Sox were poised for a legendary season. Beset by injuries, hampered by a slow and painful start, facing an uphill battle against two tough divisional foes, the Sox rode unlikely bats, some exceptional pitching...

Kevin Youkilis left last night’s game in the 4th inning with an ankle injury. At the moment, it appears he’ll be fine — the word out of Fenway is that he’ll be in the lineup tonight. Still, the sight of Youk leaving the game yesterday must have...

Temporary — and Permanent — Rotation Fixes Night after night, hit after hit, the Sox rotation is looking more like a punch-drunk boxer than a viable contender. Though Lester has reaffirmed his ace status and Buchholz has put together a nice season on the...

We are starting to move beyond the “it is early” excuse for the Red Sox record. The club has issues and it may be too late to resolve them. Even the most optimist projection of the Olde Towne Team’s chance of making the postseason is only at twenty...
by tom fratamico | May 15, 2010 | Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, Mike Lowell
On May 5th, I thought David Ortiz should be released. Even though he hit two home runs a few days prior in Baltimore, they were on average fastballs that measured 90 and 91 miles per hour. Ortiz or any quadruple-A slugger like Jack Cust should be putting those in the...
by tim daloisio | May 11, 2010 | Adrian Beltre, Josh Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen, Mike Cameron, Mike Lowell, Theo Epstein, Victor Martinez
With the Red Sox treading water just above .500 after a month and a half of the season, its too early to fully embrace the “wait ’till next year” mentality. At the same time however, you had better believe Theo Epstein and his advisors have played...
