On October 20th at Fenway Park under the bright lights, he found redemption. All year, he struggled to find a niche in his new home, with fans already against him being there. It was a long, taxing year for him personally as his son struggled through a malady of...

All is quiet on the Boston Red Sox front. If tradition continues, a big off-season splash should occur any second now. The only lingering story is the Johan Santana saga, a detailed account that has dragged on longer than anyone expected when the deal appeared...

It’s official: Mike Timlin is coming back. Timlin will return on a one-year deal worth around $3 million. Scott Boras is already showing Jacoby the dollars. He signed autographs today at F.Y.E. store at 411 Washington Street (Boston) where his autograph ran a...

Well, the Red Sox made a free agent move today (no, not Alex Rodriguez, folks) and made their arbitration tenders and nontenders. And they are… Red Sox sign Jon Van Every. Every hit .344/.416/.583 in 151 at-bats for AA Akron (Cleveland). He went up the ladder to...

It is about that time of the year when college students are gearing up for finals. They are cramming every ounce of information into their brains in which they will soon forget afterward. Red Sox Nation let us not be like the above mentioned but let us move on to...

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...

The most important thing that may have resulted from the World Series is how well we are set up to repeat next year. Every year, there are inevitably articles on why or why not the World Series champions will repeat the next year. It’s happened for as long as we...

Dane Cook may need to make a new commercial: Beckettober. Josh Beckett (4-0 on the postseason) proved again why he is the number one starter for the Boston Red Sox pitching for 7 innings, six hits, one earned run, one walk, and nine strikeouts as Boston won 13-1....

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

Josh Beckett owned the Cleveland Indians pitching for 8 innings, tying a post season high in strikeouts with 11, gave up five hits, walked one and only allowed one run on a double play ball and Kevin Youkilis lead the offense homering, hitting a triple and driving in...
