With one of the most loyal fanbases in all of Major League Baseball and the second highest payroll of the 2011 season, the Boston Red Sox are obviously capable of signing big names for record setting money. The lack of salary cap in baseball means one of two things: You have the best scouts in…
Andrew Miller makes the start for the Sox tonight. Â I am not expecting 8 innings and 10 K’s but any type of productivity out of this kid could be huge for the Sox. Â Injuries have hit of late all over the diamond and it is going to be players like Miller who will…
So as it stands we have a struggling John Lackey, a hurt Dice K (blessing or curse?) and Clay Buchholz on the 15 day DL, but we also have a soon to be 45 year old knuckleballer who is the Red Sox secret weapon. If you told people before the season that the Red…
(Image from soxnation.net) BY:Wild Thing Although the Sox just ended their season high 9 game winning streak, Jacoby Ellsbury has proved to be Sox offensive catalyst. In his 5th year in the majors, Ellsbury has been on fire. Currently, he is ranked 3rd in Runs and 1st in SB in the American League. Though he…
This is quite the rivalry Alec. By the way I really loved the Mel Gibson impression you left on your daughters voice mail. Seriously I think NewEra needs to rethink this rivalry thing. Here’s an idea, how about the rivalry between ARods forehead and hair?? Boom roasted. The Sox started out 1-6 and we all…
Theo and crew didn’t have to look far for to find their First Round pick when the MLB First-Year Player Draft got underway yesterday, selecting 90’s baby and UConn’s stud Junior RHP Matt Barnes at #19 overall. Â UConn lacks a rich baseball history, but scouts and obviously the Red Sox believe that this kid…
The Red Sox start the day sitting one game out of first place in the AL East. During this series against the Yankees, they are looking to move into the top spot in the division. To do so they must win at least two out of three game, which would put that at a tie with…
-BY: Wild Thing Is Jonathan Papelbon getting a bad rap because of the media? Now if can recall, many media reports said that the 2011 season would be Papelbon‘s last season in a Red Sox uniform. Why would it be his last, what led to the media and Theo to doubt him on the mound?…
The Prick By: PTL Let me start off by letting you know it would be hard to find a bigger fan of Joshua Patrick Beckett than myself, to the point where I have wondered if asking my girlfriend to toss in a dip and wear like fifteen Phiten necklaces would be out of line. It…
Look I don’t want to jinx things, but I know I am excited to see Salty show some power (4 HR’s in the last week). Then today out of no where we see Carl Crawford become the Crawford of old (6-for-11 w/ 2 HR, 6 R and 3 RBI against the Indians). Now the questions…
CLEVELAND — John Lackey threw 40 fastballs without discomfort in the Red Sox bullpen on Tuesday. The right-hander, sidelined since May 12 with a strained right elbow, said he was encouraged and eager to give it another test soon. “I felt pretty good and it was a step in the right direction,” Lackey said. “I…
CLEVELAND — Dustin Pedroia got to Progressive Field ahead of most of his teammates on Tuesday, even though he knew he would not be in Terry Francona’s starting lineup. Even before he tweaked his left leg and left Monday night’s 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians in the eighth inning, Pedroia was told by Boston’s…
