Who’s ready for another interleague series at Fenway? I know I am. More of David Ortiz doing his customary DH thing, more of pitchers not hitting, and best of all, it’s against a team no Red Sox fan should really have hatred towards. Seriously. It’s...

Back home and back to business, right? The Red Sox looked revitalized last night, routing the Colorado Rockies. This was the first time the Rockies had been to Fenway Park since the 2007 World Series. And Boston brought out the fireworks for this special occasion....

After suffering through a slump that wouldn’t go away, the Red Sox finally dropped the hammer Tuesday, optioning the struggling Will Middlebrooks to Triple-A Pawtucket where they’ll hope he can find whatever might be left of his swing. To some fans, the demotion was a...

Not the greatest of starts for the team last night. But there’s three more games left in the series – plenty of time to bounce back. All it took was one bad inning, and eight solid ones were made meaningless. Not the best of days – or weeks, for...

Let me set the scene for you. It was Friday afternoon. Tim Brooks, Fire Brand’s current Cafardo mail thief, sends me an instant message. (Actual chat transcript) Tim: I have a mission for you should you choose to accept it. Chip: Cut the crap, Tim. What do...

After taking two of three against the Rangers, the Boston Red Sox (37-24, 1st place in the AL East, 1.5 games ahead) welcome the Los Angeles Angels (26-34, 3rd place in the AL West, 10.5 games back) to Fenway Park for a three-game series. Friday night’s game was...

Will Middlebrooks started his rehab assignment in Pawtucket on Tuesday. When he’s ready to return, the Red Sox have a very interesting situation on their hands. With Stephen Drew more than adequately manning shortstop, and Jose Iglesias magically and...

SEVENTEEN runs. Oh lawdy. Save some for the rest of the series, Sox, you’re probably gonna need ’em! I’m not gonna lie, it felt really good to see the Red Sox flatten the Rangers for once. But take it all in while you can, because it probably...
