December 26, 2007: Red Sox Presents!
Whoo Hoo!
One of the best things about Christmas is its the opportunity to acquire more Red Sox swag to add to the collection–and while I did not get the Mike Lowell Jersey (I may get that with Christmas money…hopefully there will be a day after Christmas sale) I did get three really cool...

Attention Lackey: Stop WHINING. You Haven't Won Your Last 6 Playoff Starts!!!
Attention John Lackey:
Stop whining (read full rant below). The Red Sox beat you for the 12th time in 13 playoff games. They own you. You're not better than them if you don't beat them and the Sox beat you without Mike Lowell and with Josh Beckett clearly not being right.
The Red Sox aren't lucky...they are better. Luck doesn't come in 12/13 victories.
Just as luck doesn't come when...
Dirty Slide?
Jays' first baseman Lyle Overbay has got himself into a little controversy with Alex Cora. Here's why.
Cora was flipped over by Overbay on a double-play that ended the eighth inning of a 5-3 Red Sox's win at the Rogers Centre a week ago tomorrow. Overbay slid out of the baseline with his arms raised to break up the double play and Cora had to be restrained by...

Twins down Red Sox 7-3 and take 3 of 4 in the Dome
It was the ageless veteran Livan Hernandez giving up 10 hits but only 3 runs beating the rookie Clay Buchholz who gave up 7 runs on 8 hits. Minnesota took 3 out of 4 from Boston by hitting their starters hard and often.
Justin Masterson Scouting Report
As a Clay Buchholz owner I've kind of been a little impatient with the Sox's strategy of calling up every AAA pitcher who can't be moulded, fired, glazed, fired, and glazed again. Other than reading a quick paragraph in one of my fantasy magazines, I had no idea who or what Justin Masterson was. And now I understand why he was ranked as the third-best prospect going into 2009: This...
Jeter Getting Awfully Chummy With The Enemy
From Mike Puma:Love is in the air between the Yankees and Red Sox. Maybe "love" is a little strong, but Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis don't mind saying they have formed a bond with Derek Jeter as members of Team USA for the World Baseball Classic. You only need to spend a few minutes ...

Brian Giles is a Meathead - Nixes Trade to Boston
If you haven't heard the recent news by now, the Red Sox claimed Brian Giles off waivers yesterday and have 48 hours to work out a possible trade to bring the veteran outfielder to Boston. The real question we have to ask ourselves is, why?
Rumor has it that Theo placed in the claim simply to deny the Angles or Rays a shot at picking up the 37-year-old. In that case, this...
Red Sox Roundtable: Who's our catcher?
Every week a handful of Sox bloggers give their opinions on a Red Sox related topic. It's called the Red Sox Roundtable.
Q: Out of all the catchers that may be available through trade or free agency, which player do you want starting for the Sox and why?
