Dustin Pedroia has set some high expectations for his fitness entering the upcoming season. During an appearance on WEEI's The Big Show on Wednesday, Pedroia claimed he will enter spring training looking like Dolph Lundgren, the famously fit Swedish actor most commonly known as Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. "I'm going to look like Dolph Lundgren," Pedroia said. "I'm ready. I'm back." Unfortunately for the 5-foot-8 Pedroia, Lundgren stands well above six feet and outweighs the Red Sox second baseman by nearly 100 pounds. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that Lundgren is probably not a great infielder, so we...

January 18, 2012: Internet Blackout.Oh, and Carl Crawford’s wrist fell off…

Via Boston Red Thoughts  |  January 18, 2012
It’s interesting that on the day a good deal of the internet is on strike/ boycott/etc to protest the Anti Piracy Legislation (PIPA and SOPA) currently before Congress, there is probably the most amount of Red Sox scoopage to report… And, if you want to sign the petition (against PIPA and SOPA, not against the Sox) you can do so here…. Carl Crawford needs what?...

Red Sox To Appear At Least Twice on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball

Via Sox and Dawgs  |  January 18, 2012
It should come as no surprise that when ESPN announced their 2012 Sunday Night Baseball schedule of telecasts that we'd find the Boston Red Sox playing the New York Yankees twice. The good thing is that we'll be able to listen to Terry Francona every Sunday night since he'll be a part of the broadcast crew replacing new Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine. I do have to wonder...

Another One of the 25 from 2004 has entered retirement, and it is Orlando Cabrera, who calls it quits at the age of 37.He hit .294 for the Red Sox after he was dealt to the Sox in the Nomar Garciaparra trade on July 31st of that year. He played a solid shortstop, and was a big reason the Sox vaulted into the Wild Card lead that August, and eventually into baseball history.Cabrera...

The Others

Via Fragile Freddy's  |  January 19, 2012
The Boston Red Sox generate about as much attention as any major sports team in the country. With the exception of the Yankees, Montreal Canadiens and probably a few college football teams the Red Sox get a level of coverage and scrutiny that is rarely exceeded.As a result this leaves little in the way of the unexpected. Every year we see that notion dismissed though with Daniel...
