After a week hiatus from @firebrandal “Tweets of the Week” we return with this past week’s best tweets from Red Sox Nation. I hope everyone enjoyed the short-lived west coast trip out to Anaheim because I know our east coasters really enjoy 19-inning...

The knee-jerk, hot-off-the-press answer, in my opinion, would be yes. Before anyone gets too angry, take a minute and think. Obviously, people want to remember the second-MLB start no-hitter, or the 2013 streak of best pitcher in the world. But I really don’t...

With the season effectively over, it sometimes feels pointless and futile to recapitulate the goings on of the team from day to day and week to week from here on out. It seems extraneous and irrelevant to analyze players’ performances if they are all for naught....

When the trade that sent John Lackey to the St. Louis Cardinals was made, most people weren’t sure what to think. In general, people liked Allen Craig but had nothing to think of for Joe Kelly. Granted, fans expected someone like Shelby Miller and his 5...

While the return of established MLB players grabbed the headlines during the Red Sox trade deadline activity, the club also added two new left-handed pitching prospects. Edwin Escobar and Eduardo Rodriguez join a Sox system suddenly stacked with lefty starting...

In the rubber match of a three game series, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, by a final score of 5-2. Red Sox starter Brandon Workman put his team behind early in the game, as he allowed 3 first inning runs to cross the plate....

Mookie is going back to the farm and it just might be the best scenario for him. With Kelly Johnson returning from the 15-day disabled list, the Boston Red Sox optioned phenom Betts back to Pawtucket to make room for the veteran they just acquired from the New York...

The Red Sox evened the series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, winning by a final of 2-1. In his Red Sox debut, Joe Kelly tossed 7 strong innings, yielding just 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 4. Similarly, Cardinals starting...

With the stakes considerably lower than the last time they met, the Red Sox and Cardinals began a “world series rematch” series on Tuesday. Fresh off a solid start against the Toronto Blue Jays last Wednesday, Rubby De La Rosa took the mound for the Red...
