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, the New York Yankees. Hated team and bitter rival to the Red Sox. The Stadium affectionately referred to as The Toilet … the home of The Slap … and the rivalry never reached heightened levels (and probably never will again) from 2003-2004 with the...

The Yankees are at the fort for the only time this spring. Tim Wakefield is facing off against Carl Pavano. More on the results as the game progresses. Wakefield simply didn’t have it today. He fell behind batters earlier and began throwing a bit more strikes in...

You might be asking, “who cares?” You know this article’s about the bench, and you don’t really care about the bench. You care about David Ortiz’s new truck, Manny Ramirez flouting the rules, Daisuke Matsuzaka’s laugh and the time...

I think today would be good to put a bunch of different topics on the table and direct you to some other places that I read on a regular basis: This piece on Craig Hansen didn’t really get my hopes up for him making an impact. He says that you need to work on...
by mike edelman | Feb 13, 2007 | Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, New York Yankees
The similarities between these two superstars are incredible. Both are the most criticized players on their respective teams, both have reputations for being spotty in the field and both are paid rather handsomely. Most importantly though is the overbearing...

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...

An N and Y merged together is one of the most famous symbols in all of sports and the team it represents is as American as the hamburger. As any baseball fan could tell you, they’re the winners of 26 championships. The Yankees are one of the most famous and...

There is absolutely nothing going on in Red Sox land lately. The most recent transaction or news of any kind came four long and agonizing days ago when the Red Sox signed Runelvys Hernandez (scroll to see the Royals Authority’s take on this releasing of...
