Will the guy who bet on Game 3 to end on an obstruction call please come up and claim his millions? Feel lucky, sir. Because that’s something you will never see again. These games just get more and more ridiculous the longer this series goes on. Unlikely heroes,...

The good, bad and the ugly from a tough, tough loss last night. My dreams of a perfect 12-0 Red Sox winning streak in the World Series have been shattered. The Highlights: – David Ortiz is in complete postseason beast mode right now. That’s two games and two...

I’m still at a loss for words after last night. That was some awful defense and even worse decision-making all around. Just punted away a win there. We loved the Cardinals making error after error on Wednesday night. But Thursday night, it was the Red...

Gino Marcello, of Rochester, NY received plenty of attention for being a part of the jubilant World Series crowd at Fenway Park in Boston on Wednesday night. What made him stand out among the other 38,344 fans? He was the only guy there holding a sign saying “I Quit...

Prior to tonight, the Red Sox have only played in 15 World Series games in my lifetime. I was too young to really have any recollection of the first seven, but those last eight have been something that I will never forget. What will the next four to seven games bring?...

So who will it be? Cardinals pitching prancing and dancing all over the Sox bats? Or will it be a thumpy, dumpy Sox World Series celebration? YOU DECIDE! Pick yourself a 2013 World Series champion. And oh yeah- Here are the results from the last poll. You guys...

The day has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. Happy World Series Day. Be sure to stock up on stress relievers and beers before you watch the big game. That should be mandatory at this point, methinks. In the final baseball game of 2007, Jon Lester started, Jacoby...

Here’s my thought process after the ALCS: “WE WON! WORLD SERIES! YES! WOOOOOOO! AL CHAMPS! THIS IS AWESOME…I’m gonna have to write another Advanced Scout, aren’t I?” And so here we are, at the site of the last Advanced Scout of the...

To paraphrase something somebody said once: Wherever you go, there they are. Red Sox Nation truly does span the continent and the globe, and with the team suddenly winning the 2013 American League pennant, I thought this would be a fine time to check in on a handful...
