After defeating the Yankees in a one-game wildcard, the Boston Red Sox played the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS. Many prognosticators were counting out the Red Sox once again as Tampa Bay was the runaway winner of the best record in the competitive AL East. However, this 2001 Red Sox team had other ideas…
Nobody ever said being a Red Sox fan would be boring…. in fact, most of the time we are on the edge of our seats cheering on our heroic baseball team through another playoff race. After a rousing start, this season is no exception. After a rather up and down year…The 2021 Boston Red Sox…
After hitting some bumps in the road in August, the Red Sox are in the running for the pennant and looking forward to a spectacular September. The Sox are currently in 3rd place, six and a half games behind first place Tampa Bay in the AL East, with a record of 71-55. Frustratingly, they have…
I remember heading to Sox games as a kid back in the 1980s. My old man would grab tickets from scalpers or the Box Office at Fenway park for next to nothing. I can’t remember what paid parking cost back then-maybe $5 or so? We usually ended up in one of the free parking lots…

After winning the starting third baseman job over Pablo Sandoval in Spring Training, Travis Shaw has become one of the most important players in the Red Sox lineup. The 26-year old has yet to miss a game this season, playing 25 games and hitting .322 with a .923 OPS, three home runs, and 17 RBIs. Shaw…
There’s no denying the fact that three-time all-star Hanley Ramirez’s first season back in Boston didn’t go too well. His fielding was disastrous in left field, a position he switched to after playing at shortstop and third base for the majority of his career. The team performed better without him in the lineup late in…
Spring training is right around the corner and a lot of buzz will be in Boston regarding this brand new Red Sox team. After a disaster of a 2012 season there is some hope that these new changes will bring at least some respect back to Boston baseball. The Red Sox made quite a few…
Whatever will the Red Sox 2013 season be like? What’s happened to the Red Sox? It only seems like yesterday when we were riding the crest of the wave, smashing the Yanks and generally pulverizing anyone who got in our way. Now, though, we’re like Samson after his haircut. This week we’ve seen hot sauce…
On Wednesday 17th October, the Boston Red Sox gained Sandy Rosario, in a move that will hopefully mean good news for the team. Rosario is a right -handed pitcher, born in the Dominican Republic, who has long proven himself worthy of being chosen by the Red Sox. In 2004, he was signed with the Florida…
