I don’t know about you, but I wanted more. I EXPECTED more. We were promised answers. David Ortiz said he was going to find out WHY he failed his 2003 drug test… and that, once he had additional information, he would give us answers. So we waited. We waited for him to make his inquiries… [...]

If it were up to me, I’d do this: Ellsbury CF Pedroia 2B Martinez C/1B Youkilis 3B Drew RF Bay LF (assuming he’s back) Ortiz/Lowell DH (platoon) Kotchman 1B (or Tek C) Lowrie...

On August 17, 2006 the Sox were a game-and-a-half out of first in the AL East. The next day, a 5-game showdown with the first-place Yankees began. When the dust settled and the wounds were still fresh the Sox were six-and-a-half out and on a downward spiral that would eventually land them 11 games out and in third place.Today Red Sox Nation sits on the precipice of a sickening repeat...

With a 2-1 lead thanks to a great outing from Jon Lester, and a two run homer from Victor Martinez, Daniel Bard came in to [...]Yankees Complete Four Game Sweep of Sox is a post from: Boston Sports Media Watch

A Red Sox lineup that couldn't score in a brothel with a fistful of hundreds had done just enough to win thanks to Victor Martinez's eighth-inning homer. All Boston needed were six outs from gas-throwing right-handers Daniel Bard and Jonathan...

I'm amazed I'm writing another piece on Brian Cashman's job as Yankees GM, but the Yankees recent series against the Red Sox went so perfectly, I felt it would be remiss to not mention it. I'm also amazed that people still continue to be unsatisfied with this team's direction. (And if you read message boards—not that you should—you'd know there are plenty of them out there) Up...
