It was said that less that 12 people actually saw Tom Brunansky save the Red Sox season in 1990. Brunansky miraculously caught a line drive off the bat of Chicago’s Ozzie Guillen and in an instant, the Red Sox were launched into the playoffs. This season, the Red Sox...

On Tuesday, I posted a comparison between Clay Buchholz and the other AL Cy Young front-runners. I then added in the numbers of my personal pick for the award, Francisco Liriano. The first and then most frequent response to the piece was, “Where’s Jon...
