See you later, Mike Lowell. It was fun for a while there. By now you know that Lowell is retiring at the end of 2010 following a 12-year career in which he collected three World Series rings (New York ’98, Florida ’03, Boston ’07), a World Series MVP and a legacy that...

Looking at the names of the Red Sox starting rotation this preseason, one couldn’t help but think that that front five would be the main reason the Sox would contend in 2010. While there have been a couple of nice stories in Lester and Buchholz, the overall outcome...

For you grammatical sticklers out there, yes I’m aware that the title should read Drew and Whom. Drew and Whom, however, doesn’t rhyme. So deal. For all you JD Drew haters out there, grok this: only three Sox players have appeared in more games this season...

We can look at the losses of Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron all we like, but the truth is the Red Sox offense did a fine job in 2010. The Sox to this point have scored the third most runs in baseball behind the Yankees and Rays....

by mike silver | Sep 13, 2010 | Jed Lowrie
With all the injuries and disappointments in the 2010 season, perhaps one of the more pleasant surprises has been the superb play of infielder Jed Lowrie. For a player who missed the season’s first 94 games — not to mention missing most of ’09 with a left wrist...

I know SOME of you are still hanging on to that last thread of hope, daydreaming of an epic September run that rouses up a David vs. Goliath battle where Tampa and New York collapse under the forces of Darnell McDonald and Jed Lowrie. Someone out there still thinks...

by tom fratamico | Sep 10, 2010 | Boston Red Sox, Victor Martinez
Last week in this space, the Red Sox winter to-do list was laid out. The most important was to resolve the uncertainly at catcher. Do the Sox resign free agent to be Victor Martinez, hand the bulk of the job to Jarrod Saltalamacchia with Jason Varitek (who would...
