It’s only an internet rumor at this point, but we like those. We especially like ones that come with pictures. According to our pals at Busted Coverage, this might be Tito Francona’s new lady friend. I think it’s safe to saw Terry and this young women are more than just friends. I doubt this chick is in Terry and Pedroia’s cribbage circle. No one poses like this with a friend.

I reported that the photos that were sent to us were ‘allegedly’ Terry’s girlfriend. Nope. Then we were sent...

Just try keeping up with Bobby V.

It's 15 minutes into Bobby Valentine's first official workout as the Boston Red Sox's manager, and I'm already exhausted. Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington walks toward me, snaps his fingers and says, "Got to pick it up!" I'm not a player, of course. I'm not a writer trying to simulate a player. I'm just a writer following Valentine'...

A few days ago, longtime Red Sox knuckleball pitcher Tim Wakefield announced his retirement after a lengthy big-league career that stretches back to the George H. W. Bush presidency.
