PLAYERS: Brad Wilkerson
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Apparently it seems like Brad Wilkerson will not be heading north with the Boston Red Sox when they break camp at the end of the week. Rob Bradford of WEEI.com is reporting that Wilkerson has left the Red Sox to mull over his options. Red Sox manager Terry Francona confirmed to reporters this morning that outfielder Brad [...]

The Wash Up

Game On! The worldwide presence of the MLB almost came to a grinding halt this week as the Boston Red Sox threatened to boycott their season opener against Oakland in Japan due to a pay dispute. But this wasn't any old pay dispute. The players weren't interested in an increase on their $40,000 appearance fee, but rather they wanted an increase in the amount paid to their...

Playin' Hookey for Hockey!

In Massachusetts, they've got Patriots' Day, i.e., you get the day off from school!!! In India, everyone gets or takes the day off to watch a passionate cricket match and in Brazil, people huddle around cafes to watch futbol during the middle of the day. How come we're not as crazy about sports here in North America? Canada's taken the lead here in celebrating...

Torre's Come to Terms With His Demons

The line of the night last night belonged to Dodgers' manager Joe Torre, who addressed the crowd at the Los Angeles Coliseum before last night's history-making game with the Red Sox.Courtesy of Dan Shaughnessy:"There's not a better way to do this than against the Boston Red Sox . . . excuse me, the W...

Take a Pill or Something Yankee Fans

Some New Yorkers (particularly their sports fans) tend to think of themselves as knowlegdeable, tough, and just plain smarter than everyone. Well that might be true. After all, we are talking about the Big Apple, where, "if you can make it there you can make it anywhere". But for all the accolades and praise that such individuals like to heap upon themselves, I'll...

RIP: Edward G. “Buddy” LeRoux, 1930-2008

As a boy, I came to know of “Buddy” LeRoux just as millions of other young Red Sox fans — he was the portly trainer of the Boston Red Sox who reminded me of Gene Lockhart (the actor who played Bob Cratchit in the 1938 version of “A Christmas Carol”, with Reginald Owen). ...

Bill James: David Ortiz Shift Doesn't Work

So I stumbled across the Bill James interview at Time (hat tip Tango) and found this nugget: You use some colorful language in the book, making the reams of statistical information much more reader-friendly. At one point, you basically compare teams that use the shift against Boston Red Sox star Dav...

Music and Spring Training

Well, I am really excited about training camp and the Boston Red Sox spring schedule. I've been listening to some great music lately. It's an album I've had for years but just decided to take it out again and give it some play in the car and at home. The album is Sister Sweetly by Big Head Todd and t...

BASEBALL: Clemens Pre-1997, Still A Hall of Famer?

A nice little debate is brewing between Paul, his friend Master Bates, and SCZA. I say Roger Clemens, using only his Boston Red Sox career as reference (since he didn’t start using HGH until Toronto, allegedly), would NOT be a Hall of Famer if his career ended the day he left Boston. Here are ...

Quiet Superstars

The Counselor is IN: by Michael KaplanThere is a subtle distinction between “Sleepers” and “Quiet Superstars”. When an expert is talking about sleepers, he usually mentions players drafted anywhere from the 9th round and beyond. Quiet Superstars are those players that slipped down to about the 3rd to 6th rounds in the draft. Those rounds, in my mind, are the most important...

Cracks in the Mitchell Probe?

All may not be quite as well with the forthcoming Mitchell report as enough hope or believe, according to Howard Bryant of ESPN.com. And it only begins with those nagging conflict-of-interest allegations swirling around former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell’s ties to the Boston Red Sox, or with actu...

L-I-N-K-S: Clayton Kershaw’s Curveball Scares Children/the Elderly, Billy Crystal Signs with the Yankees, Goofy Dodgers 80’s Music Video–I don’t Get It

This, you have to see. In Sunday’s Spring Training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, Dodgers top prospect Clayton Kershaw (Baseball Mastermind’s #5 prospect)drops a 12-6 hammer on Sean Casey that will make your jaw drop. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to...

AL Division East: OWNED!

Thank you, Baltimore Orioles! (and thank you Boston Red Sox)So that's what a berth looks like.

See you at the game!

I am a Boston Red Sox junkie. I am buying Red Sox tickets like every weekend. I just have to be at the game to enjoy it these days. There really is nothing like watching my team from atop the green monster. That 10-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles last night was beautiful!

Latest Mets News - One More Week!

I can't believe it... just one more week until opening day! There's a lot of little things here and there to report this morning, and rather than inundate you with a half dozen little posts, I'll get all of you caught up on the latest. Yesterday, the Mets lost a rain-soaked affair 5-1 to the Baltimore Orioles. It seems like we've played them twenty times this spring...
