Ah, the offseason. A time for all 30 teams (or at least 26-or-so teams) to regain optimism. A time for rumors, whispers and arguments galore. A time for rampant #rosturbation, for MLB Trade Rumors, for @BadMLB and for Nick Cafardo’s trade ideas. We don’t all admit...

Hey, that’s cool, I just love hearing rumors about how some free agents are liked by some teams that might want to spend money on said free agents! Fun! We’re getting closer to the first domino to really fall in the offseason with the General Manager...

Some random thoughts on the Red Sox as I recover from a champagne haze and try to figure out what to do with my playoff beard.* *Seriously, should I shave it right away? Leave it to frighten small children and provide a home for small forest creatures? When I asked my...

The good, bad and the ugly from a tough, tough loss last night. My dreams of a perfect 12-0 Red Sox winning streak in the World Series have been shattered. The Highlights: – David Ortiz is in complete postseason beast mode right now. That’s two games and two...

The day has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. Happy World Series Day. Be sure to stock up on stress relievers and beers before you watch the big game. That should be mandatory at this point, methinks. In the final baseball game of 2007, Jon Lester started, Jacoby...

Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this… It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire...

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals are both very good teams, and that is why they are meeting in the World Series. The Red Sox finished first in the majors in runs scored, doubles, OBP and OPS. Their pitching staff finished 14th in the league in ERA, seventh...

So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to live past my 40s thanks to the playoffs. It’s okay, I’d probably be really bored in retirement anyway. The Red Sox scored four runs! And this time, they didn’t need a single swing from...

Much has been made of the complete overhaul the Red Sox underwent in the offseason. Multiple players were brought in, changing the entire culture of the team. Perhaps more importantly, the front office claimed a familiar face to lead the team. John Farrell’s...
