I love being wrong. Truly. Particularly when it results in us taking the first game of what will be a tough series, whoever ends up moving on.
While I focused on his poor showing against the Angels this season in my preview, Lester battled through some early command problems, settled down, and essentially destroyed a [...]

What a difference a week makes.
Had we entered the break mired in second place, I would have made some statements to the effect that the standings at the All Star [...]

Boston Red Sox Jacoby Ellsbury Vs Marlins 2008-03-03, originally uploaded by rosepetal236.
On June 14th, Dustin Pedroia had dropped his line to .260/.311/.365. Prompting this entry. Since that post, Pedroia has gone 29 for his last [...]

Manny hit his 500th. In a Red Sox uniform. Which given that he was placed on unconditional waivers just a few years back, probably qualifies as mildly surprising. Kudos to Manny for this achievement, it’s a real benchmark.
One that, frankly, makes me appreciate just [...]

The blues, originally uploaded by jurek d..
We got swept. By the A’s. It sucked. I don’t know about you, but I liked it better when we were sweeping folks, rather than getting swept.
As if [...]

Yes, I’m a couple of days late with this, but did you really want me to post something on Sunday? Trust me, you did not. Besides, I’ve been a little busy preparing for a cross-country move.
Anyway, In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up With Current Events, we lost five [...]

We’ve come back in a couple of games. While we’d all prefer to not to have to come back, count me among those that does believe that doing it successfully does confer an intangible confidence to the club. [...]

Bowing to the inevitable, I’ve basically accepted that this recurring feature is to become my own half-assed version of the Sunday Notes column pioneered by the inestimable [...]

Beckett, originally uploaded by culhanen.
But you remember that Beckett news I had for you yesterday? The good news that he was better than anticipated the day after tweaking his back? Well, that’s over.
If I’d had [...]
Maybe it’ll become a Sunday tradition, this current events bit, but in the meantime, my apologies for the radio silence the past few days. First I was ambushed by some sort of evil cold/flu hybrid, and then I was up in the mountains where Atingular has decided against providing even basic connectivity.
Hopefully you haven’t [...]

“We’re not going to forget, as an organization, that he’s the incumbent.” - Terry Francona
Around 8:01 in the above video, Tito reminds us of Crisp’s value. A reminder that would seem to be well aimed, given the propensity of many - yours truly included - to regard the trade of the incumbent as something of [...]

Look, if we end up with Johan Santana - and sign him - I’m not going to complain. Pick your metric, he’s been the best pitcher in the league for several years now…by a wide margin. And of course I’m just as geeked about the possibility of slotting Beckett/Santana/whomever in a potential playoff series [...]
