That wasn’t a playoff game was it? Yesterday’s match-up between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels had everything a fan could ask for in a regular season game. A dramatic ninth inning — Jonathan Papelbon somehow surviving against Howie...

Apologies to those that don’t follow the shows I do, but I was thinking about the multitude of TV shows that I watch and I thought it would be pretty funny and cool to pair up who I think represents a certain character best on the Red Sox. I’m not limiting...

In 2008, J.D. Drew was hobbled by a herniated disk. The fallout is still hindering him as he is battling back soreness. (AP) While he is still able to play, I would venture a guess that Tito will rest Drew more often against tougher left-handed pitchers in favor of...

17 of the starting 25 Red Sox for 2009 have much to prove this season. Of this number, 15 are rebounding from injuries which plagued 2008. This is not a bad thing, as the entire team will be extraordinarily motivated to do well, to win, to pull together and help each...

As we all know by now, the Boston Red Sox are on the cusp of signing outfielder Rocco Baldelli and starting pitcher John Smoltz to contracts. These are master strokes by general manager Theo Epstein, who also inked Brad Penny to a deal earlier this year along with...

H/T to MLBTR, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe is reporting that Rocco Baldelli and the Boston Red Sox are close to agreeing on terms for the Rhode Island native to become the fourth outfielder for 2009. The St. Petersburg Times reported earlier this evening that...

As expected, Jason Varitek declined arbitration. Paul Byrd did the same, so the Sox are still likely on the hunt for a starting pitcher. The Red Sox have been hotly linked to two players: Seattle’s Willie Bloomquist and Tampa Bay’s Rocco Baldelli. Buster...
