The baseball season, despite our pleas, is over. The San Francisco Giants have stunningly won it for the third time in five years and now the winter – the long, long winter – begins again. With no baseball comes withdrawal and, for lack of better words,...

Aren’t you glad you’re not in Sochi, where there’s cameras in your shower and half-finished hotels and photos of Vladimir Putin watching you from the end table? It was disheartening to hear the news that Curt Schilling had been diagnosed with cancer....

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

After a split with the Rays, the Boston Red Sox (18-20) start interleague play with a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies (20-19) at Citizens Bank Park. The Red Sox have won six of their last seven and the Phillies have won five in a row. These are two...

I’ve never thought the Red Sox had much shot of adding Adrian Gonzalez this past off-season or any year before his free agency year. So far this season though, Gonzalez and the Padres have made a deal even harder as he is off to a huge start and the Padres are...

Next time I will pass on mentioning that I want to see Ryan Howard swing it for a series. Howard made the Boston Red Sox pay in the bottom of the ninth hitting a game-tying solo home run to send the game to extra innings. Boston rallied in the 13th inning scoring...
