Fenway West:
Thanks to Bill Wanless of the PawSox, I had the good fortune to be able to obtain a press pass for the July 27th AAA game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Columbus Clippers (Indians affiliate) at McCoy Stadium. I had opportunities to interview pitchers Fernando Cabrera, who represented the PawSox at this year's AAA All Star game, and Michael Bowden, as well as manager Ron Johnson and batting coach Russ Morman. Starting tomorrow, I will be posting 1 interview per day, and then will follow with my personal review of the whole day's experience.

But the pain will be sharp, fast and furious, which I'd prefer to that slow water torture of a game last night against the Rays. From my slightly inebriated vantage point, everything was going great until the top of...

Red Sox outfield prospect Josh Reddick… SOX1FAN photo
The Red Sox have optioned OF Josh Reddick to Pawtucket. In his place, they have called up left-handed pitcher Billy Traber from the PawSox… in large part because of the demand placed on the bullpen in last night’s thirteen-inning affair.

Root For The Yankees?
Rays The Stakes has a post and a poll up about who Devil Ray Town should be rooting for in the Red Sox-Yankees series starting tonight.
To me the answer is clear — you never root for the Yankees ever. Certainly it’s a win-win situation for the Devil Rays and I won’t cry if the Yankees win some or all of the games, but there’s only two things we should be...
The Boston Red Sox Are Not as Good as We Think

Lucky 13: Baseball's Greatest Championship Trades
Over the course of Major League Baseball history, several trades have played a major role in lifting teams to a World Series championship.
In one of the most lopsided deals of all time, the Boston Red Sox acquired Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe from the Seattle Mariners for Heathcliff Slocumb in the summer of 1997.
That trade worked wonders for the Sox as Varitek and Lowe were key...
Ellsbury Vs. Crawford: A Base Stealer's Dream Series
