In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Red Sox lost Opening Day and went on to make the playoffs. In 2006, Opening Day was won and … well, let’s not talk about what happened after that. Curt Schilling simply was not on today. He didn’t have it from the start...

Ah, our favorite team ’round these parts … what’s the team looking like this year? It’s strong. It’s not without its questions, but boy, this looks like a team to be reckoned with… Statistics code: AVG/OBP/SLG for hitters. W-L, ERA,...

There’s an article chock full of some good stuff. The obligatory Manny Ramirez story. He’ll show up, he’ll hit, he’ll demand a trade, the Red Sox will explore a trade, ESPN.com will into a tizzy for two weeks, Manny won’t be traded,...

My knee-jerk reaction to the Todd Helton deal occured on Saturday, and with all the new information and opinion having been dissected, I have changed my thinking somewhat even though the crux of my thinking remains: I don’t see a reason to add an aging, overpaid...
