New Poll Question: What early season situation most concerns you? We all know that the season hasn’t started off firing on all cylinders. It’s also fair to assume that Dustin Pedroia won’t bat under .200 over the course of the season, so...

So the Red Sox start hasn’t been what we all hoped for. I think it’s fair to consider this team in a bit of an early season funk. That said, are you worried about the start in the context of the full season? Has the 2-5 run out of the gate caused you to...

Today we pick right back up where we left off last season; playing the Tampa Bay Rays. For those of you who don’t believe early season matchups matter over the long haul, I’ll remind you that when it comes to the 2009 AL East three teams are fighting for...

The rain may have postponed Opening Day, but I look at it as a blessing in disguise. I mean, how could you really expect to start the season without having properly named the 2009 Red Sox Madness Champion. Votes will be tabulated tomorrow morning and a winner crowned...

It has all come down to this. Sixteen men enter, one man leaves, and that man will be either Josh Beckett or Dustin Pedroia. Who’s success will go further in determining the Red Sox fate this season? Who will have their own Red Sox Madness tournament...

After two grueling rounds of match ups, we now know the Final Four contestants in the first annual Red Sox Madness tournament. In a late run, (primarily thanks to Paul and I’s get out the vote campaign for Jon Lester in last night’s podcast), Jon Lester...

I think our friends at The Red Seat have summed it up perfectly; “From the outside it looks like a warehouse. Then you go inside and come up the ramp and BAM! it hits you square in the face. The wall, the light, the green – it’s like no other...

New Poll Question: Better or Worse: Josh Beckett’s ERA in 2009? Josh Beckett pitched better than his 4.03 ERA might suggest in 2008, so it’s safe to assume he’ll better that total in 2009. The question is, “by how much?”. How low can he...

New Poll Question: Better or Worse: Jason Varitek’s Average in 2009? Coming off a career low batting average of .220 in 2008 and one of the lowest averages for a primary catcher in the past ten years, will Jason Varitek be able to right the ship and break the...

New Poll Question: Better of Worse: Jacoby Ellsbury’s 2009 Stolen Base Total? Early last season it seemed like Jacoby might steal 75 bags, but a mid-season slump hit both his bat and his legs and he ended up with only 50. Can he top 60 in 2009? Vote in the poll...
