Writing today from the comfort of his own electric chair, Josh Illes is the creator of the new blog The Pickup Artist. I call it The Pickup Artist because I plan on analyzing interesting in-season transactions throughout the baseball year. But I also have a somewhat snarkier side to me, and many times I rant [...]

Manny Drops Bombs On Yanks In 7-5 Win
After a night where the bullpen for the Boston Red Sox was abysmal (David Aardsma excluded), they needed a great outing from the their ace of aces Josh Beckett. His pitching plus the bat of one Manny Ramirez were enough to help the Red Sox get past the Yankees 7-5 in front of 55,088 at [...]
2008 Red
Hello(Update, 5:23 p.m.: Uh, yeah, hello. The actual post, with words and everything, that belongs here will be up at some point late tonight. Contrary to current perception, it will not be about one of Lionel Richie's many catchy hit singles, but a capsule look at your 2008 Boston Red Sox. In the me...
Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 3/18
There was not a whole heck of a lot of news coming out of Ft. Myers today as the Boston Red Sox enjoyed an off day. Sure there were some minor league games and a few Red Sox regulars took part in those games.

Bells
Looks like the Nats are as happy to be back home as I am. But hey, there's no shame in losing to Brad Penny. And it was only Simontacchi -- all you want from him is innings. Just wait until we get to our real starters . . . oh. Wait.
So today marks the first time I've ever learned something useful for interesting from the Washington Post Express. It wasn't something I couldn't have learned
Red Sox want trade with Phillies, Don't do it Philly!!!!!!!
950 Espn's Jody McDonald was reporting today that the Boston Red Sox are offering 6.75 ERA right handed pitcher Clay Buchholz to the Phillies for the Phillies top prospect at the catcher postion, Lou Marson. Marson has been turning more than just a few heads in his spring training with the Phillies. It seems by some analysts that Marson could be an instant all star on just about...
Dice-K, Japan Beat Team USA To Make WBC Finals
World Baseball Classic: Daisuke Matsuzaka reverted back to the Dice-K of the Boston Red Sox last night for Japan but ended up being effective enough to help them to a 9-4 win over Team USA in the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic. Japan will now take on South Korea in the finals of the [...]
AL East Preview: Boston Red Sox
This is a very hard decision for me to make. The Boston Red Sox made
some very key additions picking up Brad Penny and John Smoltz to help
their staff, but I feel that they still lack some power without Manny
and that's why I have them second in the AL East, however they will
give the Yankees a run for their money behind AL MVP Dustin Pedroia.Keep and Eye on:...
THE REASON YOU NEED A RELIEVER
THE REASON YOU NEED A RELIEVER
Last nights game against the Chicago Cubs is the reason you need a dominate closer. Tim Lincecum pitched his heart out for eight innings giving up 2 hits and no runs. The score going into the top of the ninth was 1-0 Giants. We have no bullpen and therefore Lincecum [.....
The Sinking Ship
It's generally agreed the Mariners are not run by the best management, which is what makes this farcical reprise all the more appetizing: The Mariners trade Felix Hernandez and Jeff Clement to the Boston Red Sox for an aging, over-the-hill reliever (who reminds some observers of Heathcliff Slocum). I...
