There are only two categories of people in this world: People who put people into two categories, and those that don’t. I am in the first category. One of the many groups of people that I put into two categories are relief pitchers. When you see the bullpen door open...

That Twins series could’ve gone better. In fact, this whole week could’ve gone better. The Sox are 1-6 in their last 7. Yeesh. John Lackey‘s PR guys must have already been working overtime since he’s been in Boston, then this happens? Hope...

It’s hard to argue that there’s been a more popular player in Red Sox history than David Ortiz. Few fans even knew his name when he signed an under-the-radar deal with Boston prior to the 2003 season. Despite the fact that Ortiz had already compiled three straight...

The Red Sox have assembled one of the best collections of catchers in all of baseball. And if you think that speaks to the paucity of passable backstops in the game as much as it does Boston’s roster construction, you’re right. As you all know, the Red Sox currently...
