Check out this video of Red Sox catcher Josh Bard, catching Tim Wakefield last night against the Minnesota Twins.? Bard was kind of doing a shaky job, letting about four balls pop out of his glove or skip off to his right side.? Hhhhhmmmmmm. Good thing it's only spring training...

Albert Pujols had a bad 10 minutes last night. But not as bad as the Padres pitcher and catcher combination of Chris Young and Josh Bard. Pujols hit a ball that hit Young in between the eyes, causing a large gash and heavy bleeding. Two plays later, a Troy Glaus single caused a play...

Watching any last-place team can be a sad affair, but watching the Sox beat up on the Nationals twice in two days made me wonder why, exactly, we have a Washington Nationals team. Frankly, I think we’d be better without it. Sure, the Rays and Tigers have recently proven that...

The Red Sox have just released Josh Bard. He’s a switch-hitting back-up catcher. The Cubs are choosing between Paul Bako and Koyie Hill for that spot as of now. There’s little doubt that Bard is better than both of them.

CHICAGO | Mike MacDougal has, as Washington Nationals teammate Josh Bard puts it, "a one-in-a-billion arm." Plenty of big league relievers have the ability to throw the ball 98 mph, but name another one who also can make a pitch at that extreme velocity sink several inches...

I thought that Josh Bard would be here a little longer this time. By signing him for a second time, I figured Bard would rebound and be that back-up catcher that Boston needs so badly. I was hoping that he would thrive this season and totally redeem himself from that awful stint in...
