The Great $160,257,476 Fraud, Your Boston Red Sox
Baseball is done for the year in Boston and no one is surprised.
When I thought about it, I once did this post for the Patriots and looking back, it looks like I have not been able to force myself to write another one on that team since. Good sign! Luckily, I have never felt for the Patriots as I do below...
Much Ado About Nothing? Why the Red Sox Will Make the Postseason
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2011 Red Sox!
Ok, so maybe the hype shouldn’t beg you to scream for the duck boats but last night, at quarter ’til midnight, the Sox may have found it.
With the bullpen able to pitch themselves out of multiple jams in the extra-inning affair, hopeful signs for this team...
Over-Paid or Over-Valued? Why Carl Crawford’s “Down Year” is Not His Fault
By the year 2017, based on his current contract, Carl Demonte (not to be confused with the canned vegetable giant Del Monte) Crawford will have been on the MLB books for having made $31,365,000.
A whopping $142M of this is coming out from behind the bricks you people keep buying to be immortalized at...
Red Sox Stepping Back From the Ledge
The start was not what we were expecting. It was looking like a disaster, the pitchers weren’t pitching and the hitters weren’t hitting. The Sports Radio talk shows were hammering on the panic button and fans began to get that “next year” feeling some six games into the season.
And then something...
Beckkkkkkkkkket – An Ace in the Hole?
That was not the performance of a number four starter.
Josh Beckett made a loud statement yesterday. He does not need any coddling.
Last night he absolutely dominated a stacked Yankees lineup going eight innings with 10 strikeouts and no runs.
He stepped up with a performance that the Boys from Boston...
Red Sox Baseball is Back
Opening day is upon us. Here in Boston, there was snow on the ground opening day, just another kick to a city on its knees after a long winter filled with more snow than just about anyone can remember. But we’ve kept warm the past few weeks with stories from a far off and legendary place called Fort...
Larceny About to Become Cool in Boston
The year was 2009 and the American League East was a tight threeway slugfest between three heavy weights: the Boston Red Sox who had taken it all just two years before, the New York Yankees were restocked and reloaded following a failed campaign the prior year, and the new kids on the block, the Tampa...

So passes another offseason, and what an offseason at that!
The Red Sox land Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, pushing one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball through the roof. The bullpen has been solidified with the aquisitions of Bobby Jenks and the toast of Warwick, Dan Wheeler.
Meanwhile, the...

Last week I talked about the possibility of a former Red Sox starter returning to the team. Now this week a waiver deal between The Dodgers and White Sox will bring another former Sox star back to Fenway this week.
So Manny will be coming back to Fenway yet again, not as big of a deal since he’s...
Are The Red Sox Doomed?
The Baseball Gods can be fickle and cruel.
Herodotus, the famous Greek historian, once wrote “Do you see how the god always hurls his bolts at the greatest houses and the tallest trees. For he is wont to thwart whatever is greater than the rest.”
Perhaps this explains the horrid streak of luck...
