Alex Wilson Expecting Chance to Pitch for Red Sox This Season, End His Job at Lowe's
PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- His days started at 5 a.m. Each morning during the offseason, Alex Wilson woke up at the crack of dawn, mentally prepared for the grind. But the grueling labor didn't occur on the baseball diamond. No, from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., the reigning Red Sox minor league pitcher of the year wound up stocking shelves at Lowe's Home Improvement.

Carl Crawford 2012 Scouting Report
Rewind one-year back to January of 2011 and the conversation surrounding Carl Crawford was much different. Crawford was a month removed from signing his 7 year/$142 million contract, Tito Francona was labeling him a "game changer" and CC was coming off the best season of his career. Baseball pundits were projecting 120 runs scored, 50 steals, .310 Avg., 15 HRs and...
January 18, 2012: Internet Blackout.Oh, and Carl Crawford’s wrist fell off…
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….

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

Cherington confident about Red Sox's rotation
The Boston Baseball Writers' Association of America dinner, which took place Thursday night, is always the first hint that Spring Training is finally in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks OC
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
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...
