I’m proud to announce the unveiling of the Top 100 Red Sox, as worked on by a number of Red Sox bloggers. The home page is here. #100 and #99 were unveiled today, and I had the pleasure of kicking things off with #100. You can find that article at the Top 100...

The J.D. Drew silent saga has finally come to an appreciated conclusion, as the right fielder signs on with Boston at the same price (5/70) but with voids available to the Sox. If Drew goes on the disabled list with a right shoulder problem in the third year of the...

As Marlin Jackson caught the Tom Brady pass and flung himself awkwardly onto the turf, I found myself experiencing a familiar feeling. I wasn’t heartbroken, I’m only a casual football fan and mostly watch it to fill the time in between baseball seasons. It...

As the hot stove begins to cool off, I can’t be the only one left with a feeling that something important is missing. The more I look at the names that will make up our bullpen next year, the less excited I become about the impending season. The thought of...

The Red Sox’s bullpen increased in size with the inking of Joel Pineiro to a one-year, $4 million contract. This means that the competition for the final one or two spots in the bullpen is now a lot tighter. The Red Sox will probably carry 12 pitchers until they...

2006 was an up-and-down roller coaster ride for our beloved Boston Red Sox. Expectations of a team hoping to make the playoffs looked to be reached in a red hot first half of 2006 before the ship sank, crashed and burned into a disappointing third-place finish. This...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have fantastic news for you today. Rather, I think it’s fantastic, and it impacts Fire Brand. Fire Brand will be at a new home on Monday. I will let you know the URL to update your bookmarks. As you know (or don’t know), I am the...
