The Sox picked up a series split last night after falling to the Indians 7-3 at Fenway Park behind the efforts of once friend of the program Justin Masterson. Masterson went 6 strong innings giving up 3 runs while striking out 9 Red Sox batters, improving to 3-0 in four career starts against his former…
Looks like Timmy boy will have to wait for his next start (Monday at Minnesota) to gather win number 200. The newly turned 45 year old yielded 3 runs on 5 hits while collecting a no decision in the Sox 4-3 walk off win last night at Fenway. Wake was the story early but Ellsbury…
In honor of Tiger Woods playing his first round of golf in quite a while I figured I would write an off the subject post about the comparisons between him and Alex Rodriguez. Cheat on their wives- Check Do steroids- Ehhh Questionable but Check (where there’s smoke there’s fire Tiger) High Stakes Gambling- Check (what…
Twitter has let me down of late (doesn’t help trying to break trades after a couple cocktails either), but word on that beast is that last year’s American League ERA leader, Clay Buchholz, has a stress fracture in his back and is likely to miss the remainder of the season. I do not believe this…
The All-Star game is behind us and now it is time to look towards the MLB trade deadline. Theo has made it clear that he will be looking for an OF bat prior to July 31 and if I had my choice that guy would be Hunter Pence. Pence may not be as sexy of…
So Boston.com has this on the site today. Basically you answer a bunch of questions and they tell you what Red Sox player you are most like. I’m not really upset with the answer, I love Carl Crawford, but is Boston.com taking a swipe at him here? “Even if it arrives slower than you’d like.”…

Now I know some of you out there are scratching your heads wondering, “Who in the hell is Dick Williams?” Dick Williams was known in Red Sox lore as the man with the “Impossible Dream.” In 1967,…
Reader advisory: These grades are based off how these players have performed based on the expectations I had for them going into the season. Pretty pumped to be on the giving end of some grades as opposed to the receiving. Catcher: B Jarrod Saltamacchia/ Jason Varitek: Despite a slow start Salty has been a pleasant…
Hypothetical situation that will probably never happen because MLB wants to make the Dodgers as appealing as possible to the highest bidder, but what if the Dodger’s just decided to have a fire sale at the trade deadline? Who would the Red Sox want? Both Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier are free agents at the…
The Red Sox have had a little case of the J.D. Drews spreading throughout the clubhouse with with the likes of Crawford, Buchholz, and most recently Lester finding themselves on the the Disabled List. I attended the game Tuesday night and I almost thought I was watching a game from last season with Darnell McDonald…
It has become an extremely apparent problem around The Nation: John Lackey lives up to his last name. The veteran right-hander who had clinched the World Series for his team in 2002 was signed with the Red Sox in 2009 for a whopping 82.5 million dollars. We all knew that was going overboard for someone…
