MVN:
Back in March, I made a promise to myself: Exerting patience with Dustin Pedroia would be vital. I expected early struggles and was fully prepared to pace myself with the development of the new second baseman. After all, Pedroia's game is entirely based on making contact and occasionally hitting balls into gaps, and in no way is he a home run slugger by any stretch of the imagination. So for Dustin, timing and adjusting would be key.

Daisuke has been billed as the great hope for Red Sox Nation. All offseason, we've billed him as the second coming of Pedro - and maybe even better. Tonight, Matsuzaka continued his streak of subpar outings, giving up 7 earned runs, striking out one, and walking 5. Again Matsuzaka walked the bases loaded, setting himself up for a 5 run first inning. And like all his other...

In 2006, we saw a Josh Beckett who shook off pitches, threw tantrums, and gave up the devastating long ball by overusing his main pitch, the fastball.

In 2007, Josh Beckett has become...

Leave it to Red Sox fans to get all worked up over their local hero wearing enemy colors. Tom Brady was seen with his supermodel girlfriend walking around New York City donning a Yankees hat. "We know that Tom has an array of Red Sox caps from which to choose," said team spokesguy Dr. Charles Steinberg. "But we fully respect that he needed to wear a suitable disguise...

BostonSUCKS.net is sick and tired of hearing excuse after excuse for the disgraceful behavior or Manny Ramirez. After watching his home run "trot" last night it is time to call him out for disrespecting to the way the game is played. Is "Manny Being Manny" equal to acting in such a contemptible manner? No player should be able to show up the opposing team on...

Win some lose some. Tough loss and a rare one in the way we lost it. As much as you'd like to think that because things are lined up how you want them to be, it should all work out, sometimes it doesn't.
Our bullpen was the key reason we ended April with the best record in baseball and I don't doubt for a second it will be a huge strength for us all year long, but...

If you get pissed every time a player jogs to first base, then you should read this article. The Baseball Desert has a few quotes from Alex Cora in which he discusses his role with the Sox.
