Three straight one-run games. Two with the Red Sox scoring in the 7th inning or later. I’m just withering away from the stress I’m feeling right now. Improbable? Yeah, very. Impossible? Definitely not. The Red Sox, despite creating gale-force winds with...

I’m sure y’all drank plenty when the Red Sox dramatically defeated the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of the ALCS. I know you were. I saw you all packing the bars around Fenway after the game. Now that we’ve all sobered up. It’s time to play the...

Until I got home last night at about 1:30 a.m. and watched reruns of David Ortiz’ eight-inning grand slam, I didn’t know that Torii Hunter had fallen into the Red Sox bullpen. This is strange, because I was sitting 20 rows in the section directly behind said bullpen....

Below find Andre’s take on attending Game 2 of the ALCS. Later today, you’ll hear from Ben, who was also at one of the best playoff games in Red Sox memory… I really am blessed to call myself one of the luckiest Red Sox fans alive. No, I really am. I...

It’s a good thing I don’t have to work today since I couldn’t get any sleep after what the Red Sox & Patriots did last night. Unbelievably surreal. There are no words. Only emotions that we all still have from what transpired last night. Down,...

By the time you read this, the Red Sox will have faced the Tigers in Game 1 of the ALCS. Obviously, I can’t speak to what happened in that game, because I lack the requisite level of psychic power to do so, but it will have definitely happened. I’m almost certain of...

I guess it was inevitable that the teams with the two best offenses in the major leagues would meet in the ALCS. Strangely enough, the Tigers and the Red Sox have never faced each other in the playoffs before in the history of baseball. Someone’s going to make a...
