The final batch of predictions are below, dealing with how first/third base will shake out and how the bullpen will be handled… Assuming no Adrian Beltre or Victor Martinez, how is first and/or third going to work out? Evan: If the Red Sox are faced with no...

Rocco Baldelli hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Then, in the the fifth inning, Baldelli crashed into a wall trying to catch a foul ball. That’s exactly how Boston’s game went as well. The Red Sox were on pace for a win with a 3-1 cushion over...

The Toronto Blue Jays are being picked as the team to upset the Red Sox and the Yankees. At least Bob Ryan thinks so. I think otherwise and here is why. Vernon Wells is not the same player of old and the pitching has to stay healthy which I do not think it will. Most...
