Right now, the Boston Red Sox appear to be in holding pattern until free agent southpaw Jon Lester makes his final decision. While Boston’s reported offer of 6 years, $130M is a strong submission, the Chicago Cubs are currently the highest bidders while the San...

With another week of baseball in the books for the 2014 season the Red Sox remain the cellar dwellers of the AL East. Despite playing putrid baseball for the majority of the season, the Red Sox just turned in one of their most productive weeks of baseball; going 4-2...

The Red Sox extended their win streak to an even 4 games on Thursday with a 9-4 victory over the Houston Astros. Although Red Sox starter Allen Webster endured yet another shaky performance, the Red Sox bats stayed hot and overcame an early 4 run hole that Webster put...

The Red Sox drafted Jon Lester in 2002. He’s spent his entire career with the club, overcome cancer with the club, and won two World Series rings with the club. His teammates refer to him as a role model, and he’s been a force at the top of the rotation for the Red...

It’s back! Baseball is back! Break out the party poppers! Start the ticker-tape parades down every main avenue and street! There’s actual baseball being played today! It’s been missing in action for a few years now, and Dustin Pedroia has noticed....

Y’know what, guys, come down to Phoenix for a week. We’ll play baseball until we can’t and then, once we’re done, we’ll go see some Spring Training stuff. Cool? Cool. You want nostalgia? We’ve got it. Roger Clemens, Nomar...

The Super Bowl is over! Pitchers and catchers report in just a few days! Baseball season is getting ever so close! Exclamation points! Yelling and cheering! Wooo! David Ortiz and the Red Sox can talk about their mutual respect for one another all they want, but in the...

I can still picture him in my head, crouched in that unusual batting stance, uncoiling to lash a line drive into the outfield or drive a ball into the seats. Jeff Bagwell put up tremendous offensive numbers during his 15 year major league career, numbers that should...

In a strange, polar-vortex-related topic, “vortex” should be the next abstract team name. How terrifying would it be to face, say, the London Vortex? Hall of Fame voting has essentially become a farce. You need to be cleaner than an operating room and...

I really don’t know how we, as baseball fans, survive the offseason. This day alone is pretty agonizing. I just want baseball, kay? The American League wasn’t caught sleeping this time. National League hitters had just three hits last night, and Mariano...
