First things first. You all remember the bet with the Cubs blogger, which is why his logo is in every post through Saturday? Yeah, well during this bet, I had to come up with a logo in case the Red Sox won, and I didn’t want to bring back the old logo so I had a...

Well … that was a better game. I still don’t think the Red Sox are all the way back, but they played crisper tonight, more awake. Hopefully with the Reds and Pirates in town, two teams above .500, we can go home after a long, draining road trip and change...

Okay, I feel a bit better after my venting yesterday, which got a little ire from Cubs fans, but I tell it like it is. I still stand by my statements, but I’ll add one more. The Red Sox are not as bad as this. We’re what, 11-17 in the past games?...

I asked a friend of mine, Marc Normandin, who is a stat freak, to continue on his Hall of Fame kick of his (he has a mancrush on Brian Giles and if Giles does not get elected to the Hall, he will commit seppuku) about David Ortiz… Evan has asked me to answer a...

Eddie Riley and Bob Ojeda (click image to enlarge) Throughout this column you will see pictures on the left and right. These are from Monday, June 6th, 2004 when the Worcester Tornadoes played professional ball in Worcester for the first time in 71 years. A former...

In the spirit of the 2005 MLB Draft (Tuesday and Wednesday) let’s look back on the draft history of the Red Sox all the way back to 1984. No, not because that’s the title of the excellent novel by George Orwell, but because that is when Lou Gorman’s...

Lyle Overbay of the Milwaukee Brewers’ time may be short in Milwaukee, as stud first-baseman Prince Fielder is knocking on the door. Please note I said knocking, present tense. This creates a dilemma in Milwaukee, as Overbay has been nothing but an offensive...
