What a long day. It was my birthday, but you wouldn’t know it because I worked all day. I took in a Riptide game though. My cousin plays on the team, which is why I was there. Nice to see us score seven in the top tenth, but Mike Remlinger has shown nothing so...

Today, Rotoworld came out with a look at the free agent hitting class and also predicted where they would end up. I found this a fascinating topic (plus some of their choices on where people would end up – most which I agreed with) and so I’ve decided to...

Mark Bellhorn, 2005: .216/.328/.360 Mark Bellhorn, Pawtucket Red Sox: “He went 0 for 5 last night in a 10-6 loss at Rochester, and is hitting a paltry .111 (5 for 45) in 11 games. He has a homer and 5 RBIs, but also just three walks and 15 strikeouts.”...

The game yesterday was rife with tension. We were playing the best team in baseball, and there was no guarantee we were going to win. We were going to have to cowboy up and beat the White Sox. Well, we did just that, winning a 9-8 game that was close the entire way....

Since July 1st, Wells is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA, numbers he will need to replicate tonight to have any luck against Mark Buehrle, who is enjoying the best success of his pitching career so far this season. Buehrle looked well on his way to becoming a frontline starter in...

Greetings faithful reader of the The Fire Brand. While Evan is away recovering from having his wisdom teeth so ruthlessly yanked out of his mouth, he

Wade Miller has apparently been placed on the 15-day DL with a sore shoulder. Probably the right move at this moment. Either Jeremi Gonzalez, Jon Papelbon, or Abe Alvarez expected to take Wade’s spot. Curt Schilling is a dark horse. Stay tuned… In...

Jose Cruz, Jr. was designated for assignment yesterday, which came as a surprise to me. Considering Trot Nixon is still around 15 days away, you would think we could use Cruz. However, the Red Sox felt that Bill Mueller’s current back issues warranted a callup...

Note by Evan: Not much to say. We won, and Alex Cora got away with silly defense at third. I don’t mind it much, I like that Francona is trying to add to Cora’s versatality. If you want some more take on the Red Sox, visit the entry below, we can talk...
