Red Sox Nation can’t resist the boy wonder, Theo Epstein. He is our Bill Clinton…our Elizabeth Taylor…our Michael Jackson. Regardless of his relevance in Major League Baseball, we will follow his every move until the day he dies. Really though,...

Lately, the question bouncing around Boston is whether the Red Sox should pack in the season and rebuild, or if they should go for it once more and try to make the playoffs. Given how the Sox have struggled to reach and stay over .500 and paired with the seeming lack...

After last night’s tough loss in Miami, the Red Sox sit a full seven games out of first place. Of course, if last season taught us anything, it’s that as long as a team is not mathematically eliminated, it’s never too late to make a run. Yet, it’s hard to look at this...

It’s been a while since we last checked in on the Red Sox’ minor league teams. Perennial five-star prospect Will Middlebrooks is already becoming a staple of the major league club, and it looks like he won’t be back in the minors save for a rehab assignment if he’s...

Oh, no he didn’t! He don’t know Nick! He don’t know Nick! Shut up! Shut up! You know he looks good. You just jealous! Oh, I’m sorry. I was just channeling my “Jerry Springer white trash” persona for a second. Why would I do...

Ok, boys and girls. By now you know the drill. People ask Nick questions, I intervene and answer correctly on his behalf. All “questioners” will remain nameless unless they truly deserve to be mocked. Luckily, no one has to be outed this...

<a title=" If you think playing A-Gon in center is a crazy idea, you’ll love the first question in today’s Cafardo mailbag… Has any thought been given to moving Middlebrooks to shortstop (his original position) upon the return of Youkilis to...

The regular season is finally just a couple of days away! On Thursday, all of the Red Sox’s supposed overblown sins of the previous season will be washed away. The club will start anew with a fresh start, a different direction, and a chip on their shoulder. ...
