This decade has been the most monumental in the franchise’s history. Not only did new ownership arrive, but Fenway Park was revitalized, a Nation was born (in the media, that is), a new generation of stars (Nomar, Manny, Pedro, Big Papi, Papelbon, Pedroia) put...

Ok, the season has started. So here is my quick write-up on the AL West, along with very quick predictions for the remaining divisions. LA Angels of Anaheim: 86-76: The one thing that I am not sold on is that a team like the Angels are solely summed up in their run...
by evan brunell | Mar 8, 2009 | Nomar Garciaparra, Quick Post
I previously wrote that Nomar Garciaparra would be a good option for the Sox to bring in as a backup infielder. Bottomline Rob left a comment saying he was unsure if the burned bridges from 2003-4 had been repaired for that to be likely. Well, Cafardo in today’s...

Mike Lowell is prepared to hit the field and play in a game in two weeks, he reported yesterday. Although he hasn’t suffered any setbacks with his right hip, he also hasn’t been running the bases yet, which could make or break his progress. It’s very...

On Friday, the Boston Globe ran down the worst breakups in Red Sox history going around the diamond by position. It’s a nice (and sobering) read. It made me ask myself “who would be on my personal ‘favorite Red Sox’ team?” My list is...

In fan voting, Kevin Youkilis was tabbed the AL’s best hitter, an honor formerly bestowed on such luminaries like Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez. The official title of the award is the Hank Aaron award, and it comes on the heels of Youk’s MVP-caliber...
by evan brunell | Sep 28, 2008 | David Ortiz, Johnny Pesky, Nomar Garciaparra
It was a rainy, cloudy ceremony to honor Johnny Pesky and his lifetime contributions to the Red Sox. Just as the sky got misty, so did Pesky and most of the crowd. Here are some photos from the ceremony… Nomar Garciaparra paid homage to Johnny Pesky, “his...

With each growing day here in the early stages of Off-Season 2007-08, the idea of Mike Lowell taking the extra year + cash to play for a different team looks more and more truthful. The Red Sox have maintained through this process that they will not go further than...

THEO EPSTEIN / SPORTING NEWS Since Keith Foulke tossed the final out of the 2004 World Series to Doug Mientkiewicz, Theo Epstein’s pattern of development as general manager of the Red Sox has been as alarming as a botched John Kerry joke. The boy wonder, the...

We continue from Monday with 20-11… 20. Jim Edmonds- .257/.350/.471, 19 HR, 70 RBI Edmonds has a 10 million dollar option for 2007 with a 3 million buyout, so we??ll see in the impeding days whether the Cardinals decide to keep their dependable, but aging center...
