Alright. Baseball’s back again. We’re done with the awful ESPYs, the trading desk is getting busy, and the Red Sox have a interesting stretch where they play AL East teams. So who better to kick off this set of inter-divisional games with than our very...

Not long ago, I logged on to Twitter to see that the Yankees were in first place in the AL East. It was their first time there this season and they have stayed in that area since, currently leading the Sox by one game after tonight. Understandably, I was a little...

Making spring training predictions usually guarantees two things: 1) You will hit on a few. 2) You will miss on a lot more. Since we’re now through more than a quarter of the 2013 season, let’s take a look at five predictions that I already wish I could...

The 2013 New York Yankees are one heck of an interesting bet. It’s not quite black/red, high/low or odd/even, but you can rest assured that outcomes in baseball really aren’t all that complicated. In fact, there are only three kinds of baseball seasons in...

After losing two of three to the Texas Rangers, the Boston Red Sox (55-57, 10 games back in the AL East) start a 10-game roadtrip with a 4-game skein against the Cleveland Indians (51-60, 9.5 games back in the AL Central). The Red Sox are 4-6 in their last 10 games...

Do you? Do you remember 2007? Where Beckett made Hanley Ramirez an after-thought? Post-2007, Hanley was merely Khalil Greene in the eyes of Red Sox fans. Maybe not Khalil, but you get my point, right? What Beckett did was incredible. We didn’t actually think...
