While the American League Championship Series is all set to go, the National League side of the postseason is still stuck in the Divisional Series. On Monday, the Washington Nationals staved off elimination behind a solid effort from right-hander Doug Fister. After...

It has been clear for some time now that the Red Sox wouldn’t make the postseason. They were officially eliminated this month, and now the playoffs are almost here. So what teams should Red Sox fans support this postseason? The obvious villains (Yankees and Rays) will...

After an extended hiatus, 3 Up 3 Down returns to give you a look at who performed well and who did not over the past week of Red Sox baseball. After what has been a tumultuous season (that could be the understatement of the season), the Boston Red Sox, after taking 2...

I projected the Red Sox to finish fourth in the division this season. To be fair, I am an idiot. I predicted Jason Heyward would win the National League MVP award, and he went on to be only the third-most-valuable player on his own team in terms of fWAR, with a...
