I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’m working on something and wills tart again soon, though in a bit of a different way. In the meantime, I wanted to pop in and congratulate Dustin Pedroia on his richly deserved Rookie of the Year Award - the first Red Sox player […]

There’s a great post up at Yanks Fan-Sox Fan - a blog I don’t read nearly as much as I should - that quotes some fantastic articles written about Ramirez from his amateur days in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood. It’s a must read.

Manny takes a lot of crap, from around the league and […]

…is back.

Do not EVER fuck with this man.

Magic Number: 12.

Edit: And yes, Delmon Young could have caught that. But you know what? He didn’t, and it went over a wall. And the Red Sox win their 89th game of the year. This is the team, kids. This is the […]

I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about this, and I honestly can’t, so I’ll just dive right in. Clay Buchholz just threw a no-hitter in his second major league start.

It occurs to me that between my long hiatus and whatever the hell I’ve been writing about lately, I haven’t given nearly enough blogtime to Dustin Pedroia. After last night’s win - which I naturally turned off way too early to go to sleep - that’s going to change today. There were plenty […]

The Red Sox have just completed a trade that gives them one of the best bullpens I’ve ever seen. Eric Gagne is our new set-up guy.

Look, this team didn’t have much in the way of holes. With the Yanks 8 games back at the deadline, we can breathe easier. We had an […]

I’ll be back at Fenway tonight, and I won’t be the only one: just a day after Jason Varitek, Trot Nixon, and Manny Ramirez returned to action, David Ortiz will be making his first appearance since the 27th of August. Ortiz, as is well known, had a health scare in recent weeks and was […]

The Red Sox are, apparently, on the verge of completing a deal that would send a borderline prospect - maybe an Alvarez or Hottovy type - to the Toronto Blue Jays for 1B/3B/OF Eric Hinske. It’s an odd deal on the surface, given the Sox’ needs and the presence of capable players at all […]
