The Insane Period

It’s been an absolutely insane week for me, and it has been for the Red Sox too. All we hear about is Theo’s future, and now we have Manny Ramirez’s future in doubt. We have Timlin trying to work out a contract amid all this, but not getting far...

Talking to the Man in the Mirror

My father suggested an interesting topic for a post last night, and now that the White Sox have completed their World Series sweep I wanted to explore it a little. Without trying to overplay the similarities between the 2004 Red Sox and the 2005 White Sox – both...

WHAT IF: Is It Time To Trade Trot Nixon?

That’s right. You heard me. Is it time to trade Trot Nixon? Nixon is coming into the final year of a 3-year, $19.5 million contract he signed in the winter of 2004. Since then, he’s been hobbling around with injuries. He saw 48 games in 2004 and 124 in...
