Alright. Baseball’s back again. We’re done with the awful ESPYs, the trading desk is getting busy, and the Red Sox have a interesting stretch where they play AL East teams. So who better to kick off this set of inter-divisional games with than our very...

Having split the home-and-home series in Philly, the Boston Red Sox (33-22, first place in the AL East, 2 games ahead) head north to the Bronx for a weekend series with the New York Yankees (30-23, second place in the AL East, 2 games back). The Red Sox are 6-4 in...

Not long ago, I logged on to Twitter to see that the Yankees were in first place in the AL East. It was their first time there this season and they have stayed in that area since, currently leading the Sox by one game after tonight. Understandably, I was a little...

Making spring training predictions usually guarantees two things: 1) You will hit on a few. 2) You will miss on a lot more. Since we’re now through more than a quarter of the 2013 season, let’s take a look at five predictions that I already wish I could...

Who likes watching fun teams? I like watching fun teams. And from what I saw, the 2013 Red Sox will be fun. So strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride. Sure, it’s a bit early to do this, but why not give credit where credit is due? The new Red Sox skipper did a...

Sure, it’s hard to take much of anything away from one baseball game, but with a team full of so many question marks, it’s always fun to start peeling back layers – as small as they may be – to uncover some of those answers. While we probably won’t have much of a...

The Boston Red Sox (69-93, 26 games back in 2012) visit the Bronx to open the 2013 season with a three-game set against their perennial rivals, the New York Yankees (95-67, first place in the AL East in 2012). New faces are plentiful in Boston but injuries are the...

In just one week, your Red Sox will take the field for their first game of 2013. Kick back, grab a bottle of your favorite brew, and prepare to enjoy the sweetness that is Boston baseball. What kind of links post would this be if Jackie Bradley wasn’t the first...

Oh, no he didn’t! He don’t know Nick! He don’t know Nick! Shut up! Shut up! You know he looks good. You just jealous! Oh, I’m sorry. I was just channeling my “Jerry Springer white trash” persona for a second. Why would I do...

Ok, boys and girls. By now you know the drill. People ask Nick questions, I intervene and answer correctly on his behalf. All “questioners” will remain nameless unless they truly deserve to be mocked. Luckily, no one has to be outed this...
