The last article I wrote focused on two position players in the upper levels of the sox minor league system; Dustin Pedroia and David Murphy. Today, we will look to the opposite end of the spectrum; two pitchers in the lower level of the minors. Since the Sox have...

The other day, my father asked me whether I thought the Red Sox were truly a playoff team this season. Without missing a beat, I gave my emphatic, bold and confident answer: no. Not to downplay the upcoming newest chapter of the Yanks-Sox storyline this weekend, an...

Even though the 2006 season is still alive and the Sox are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, I can’t help but take a look towards 2007. As I write this, Josh Beckett is coughing up hits left and right and has given up five runs through four innings so far....

The timing of this column is probably going to seem a little odd to you. This is just me thinking out loud about what we’ve been missing lately, in these doldrums over the last month or so. Who’s the king of the Boston sports scene? Well, that’s a...

I wouldn’t want to be Terry Francona right now. Not only does he manage the big-market Red Sox club with one of (if not the) most fickle fans in the game, but he’s completely handicapped by his roster. Every single pitcher has entered a stretch where they...

Jere writes every 735th Red Sox fan’s favorite blog, A Red Sox Fan In Pinstripe Territory. In June, Dan Shaughnessy wrote this article for the Globe Magazine, about the way things have changed in Boston sports since 1990. Can you find the absolutley ridiculous...

Why are we so upset with the Red Sox? Did we not say that we would be okay with a third-place finish prior to the season? We are currently 20 games over .500, two games behind the Yankees (with a lot more Yankee games to be played) and tied for the Wild Card lead....
