As the advent of spring training games are upon us, I thought I’d kick off everyone’s favorite little exercise by providing my own personal predictions as to how I think the season will shake out. Now, before I do so, a word of caution: predictions can...
by mike silver | Dec 10, 2009 | Adrian Beltre, Boston Red Sox, Max Ramirez, Mike Lowell, Texas Rangers
Lowell to Texas, Beltre to Boston? This rumor has been cooking for a long time, and it may finally be ready for consumption. According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Red Sox and Rangers have a deal in place that would send Mike Lowell to the Texas Rangers, with...
by evan brunell | Dec 10, 2009 | Max Ramirez, Mike Lowell, Texas Rangers
Ken Rosenthal on Twitter reports that the Red Sox are trading Mike Lowell to the Texas Rangers. In exchange for eating most of Lowell’s $12 million salary, the Red Sox are receiving catcher Max Ramirez. Ramirez, 25, has a .299/.398/.486 batting line overall in...
by tito crafts | Aug 16, 2009 | Boston Red Sox, Dustin Nippert, Game Threads, Junichi Tazawa, Texas Rangers
Junichi Tazawa makes his second start of a very short career. Once he settled in, and the defense actually started to play defense behind him, he looked good in his first start. If Youkilis had any chance at MVP, even though Mauer is clearly the best player, then I...
by tito crafts | Aug 15, 2009 | Boston Red Sox, Brad Penny, Game Threads, Texas Rangers
Since Brad Penny’s best this season seems to be six innings, three earned. Then that is what I expect from him. I just hope that he doesn’t fare worse. It is a critical game, in terms of the Wild Card, so let’s get a...
by tito crafts | Aug 14, 2009 | Boston Red Sox, Game Threads, Jon Lester, Kevin Millwood, Texas Rangers
In what is a crucial series, one of our aces, Jon Lester, takes the mound against Kevin Millwood. Lester has been awesome of late, and Millwood has had a nice season, although somewhat lucky. Take two of three, Red...

As much of the baseball world knows, John Smoltz refused his assignment to minors yesterday, effectively ending his short career with the Red Sox. Smoltz’s immediate future is still in the Sox hands, as they still must choose to release or trade him. According...
by mike silver | Aug 12, 2009 | Brad Penny, Dustin Nippert, Elvis Andrus, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Jason Bay, Jon Lester, Junichi Tazawa, Mike Lowell, Texas Rangers
With Thursday’s game still pending, the Sox look to their three-game weekend series in Texas, back 5.5 of the Yankees; up 1.5 on the Rangers in the wildcard. This is a big set – don’t take it likely. The Sox should fare well in the home run haven of...
by josh lacey | Jul 22, 2009 | Clay Buchholz, Dustin Nippert, Game Threads, Texas Rangers
Adam LaRoche and Chris Duncan in, Julio Lugo and prospects out….but none of them will be an impact in today’s game. With the Yankees win today already in the books, tonight is all about Clay Buchholz.
