The offseason can drive me insane for many reasons. With it brings a constant void in my life: no Red Sox game to look forward to every day. I spend most of my time shoveling snow and counting down the days until spring training. But just like before the trading...

Disappointment. That??s the best word I can think of to describe our Boston Red Sox laying a collective egg at the Cell today. Not only did they look completely uninterested and lazy, but apparently Matt Clement was joking around with David Wells on the bench after...

The Boston Red Sox, your division co-champions, seeded the Wild Card (or Wild Card for short, but I want to emphasize the fact that we tied for first, so we are co-champions) are headed to Chicago on Tuesday to begin a jaunt, reuniting with former friend Jose...
