It has all come down to this. Sixteen men enter, one man leaves, and that man will be either Josh Beckett or Dustin Pedroia. Who’s success will go further in determining the Red Sox fate this season? Who will have their own Red Sox Madness tournament...

Flawed. Of course, the bottom teams in the division are extremely flawed. But the top teams all have things that make you say they just aren’t good enough to make it to the postseason either. The AL East has three teams that may have “flaws” when...

Julio is on the DL, after an excellent ST in which he showed his old stuff, but is needing rehab following surgery on his miniscus. Dontrelle also showed his old great stuff during ST, but has been sent to the minors to rehab issues “between his ears”...

I had difficulty understanding the pervasive concern about the Sox offense in 2009. It seems that with J.D.’s back, Papi & Lowrie’s wrist, and Mike’s hip, media and fans alike started to believe the sky was finally falling. The loss of Manny,...

The 2009 Boston Red Sox are in the final stages of preparing for what is certain to be an entertaining and exciting season. The spring is finally behind us, the roster is set and the team is moving northward to christen Citi Field with some Major League talent. Now...

The first half of our ongoing Red Sox Madness tournament is in the books and #1 seed Dustin Pedroia will represent the offense against the winner of today’s Josh Beckett/Jon Lester matchup in the final. Pedroia took fellow tablesetter Jacoby Ellsbury down with...

The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off their first successful season in the history of the franchise. Finally, they’re not considered doormats with no vision of the future. Now the Pirates stand alone there. (Even the Royals are much improved!) This club is scary in...

After two grueling rounds of match ups, we now know the Final Four contestants in the first annual Red Sox Madness tournament. In a late run, (primarily thanks to Paul and I’s get out the vote campaign for Jon Lester in last night’s podcast), Jon Lester...

Some shocking news came out of the Yankees’ spring training camp as they prepare to break in their new Yankee Stadium… one that just adds another dash of controversy to a team that needed more controversy like Bartolo Colon needs more doughnuts. More...

The other half of the best rivalry in sports, The New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers “only” ended up with 89 victories last season. And the key players they inked this past off-season, have them looking incredibly strong on paper for this upcoming 2009...
