It’s been approximately 24 hours since the Red Sox were swept out of the playoffs and right into the harshness of an early off-season. I’ll probably do a season wrap-up sometime this winter but for now, all eyes on the future..

Curt Schilling is a prophet

I generally try to ignore everything Curt Schilling says. He’s not going to convince me to become a right-wing political nutjob and I already know that Barry Bonds is a jerk. What could I possibly learn from him, right?
Well if I did listen to him, I would have known to expect...
Yankees win the division

We all saw this coming when the Sox were struggling to stay in games with their anemic offense and back-end of the rotation (Smoltz and Penny particularly.) It’s cool though, 2 more wins and Boston rolls into the postseason as the wild card.
It’s with that knowledge that...

It’s getting close to the end of the season and each game seems to mean more and more. I could give you some in-depth analysis on the recent struggles of our bullpen (and our offense) but it’s more fun to present Rob from The Bottom Line’s guide to the Red Sox 2009 facial hair:
Bye bye Penny

After being told to “hold tight” when his spot in the rotation came and went, Brad Penny has finally asked for his release from the team. Theo Epstein, in all his infinite wisdom, granted Penny’s request. This will open up a roster spot for newly acquired relief pitcher...

Someday I’ll have enough money (or clout?) to attend the Beckett Bowl. Unfortunately, today is not that day.
I may not be able to afford the $250 donation but if I could, I can’t think of anything I’d rather do with my money because all proceeds go towards helping...
Ellsbury sets Boston record for SB

Jacoby Ellsbury wrote his name in the record books tonight by swiping his 55th base this season. That’s a new club record, breaking the old mark of 54 bases by Ellsbury’s mentor, Tommy Harper. We knew it would happen sooner or later, but doing it with 5 weeks left in the season is [...]

The economy must really be in the toilet. The New York Mets put pitcher Billy Wagner on the waiver wire and according to a few sources, he made it all the way to the Red Sox. The Sox put a claim on him and are currently trying to work out a trade with [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it’s time to put away your ecktionary. Jerry Remy returns to the booth tonight to announce the game with Don Orsillo.

In all honesty, Youkilis has gotten away lucky with only being suspended 5 games after charging Rick Porcello of the Tigers last night and tossing his helmet at the 150 pound pitcher (video.) He did what had to be done (Porcello buzzed Martinez the at-bat before, tell me it wasn’...

The past few weeks have reminded Sox fans of the 2006 season a bit too much. I suppose that’s why Theo Epstein has decided to try and do something about it before it’s too late. He’s made the following moves:
Move: Paul Byrd signed to a minor league deal
Reason: Smoltz...

In a time when even the mightiest closer can’t seem to get a 3-run save locked down, there is still one guy the Sox can trust. Daniel Bard has been THE go-to guy over the past month and more.
Do you want to know what the definition of the word ‘effective’ is? Bard has [...]

Ah Adam LaRoche, it seems like just yesterday you had 19 at-bats with 2 doubles and a HR. You only struck out twice too! I was so proud.. but now you’re gone. That’s right, the Sox have dealt LaRoche back to his old team, the Atlanta Braves. So long Adam!

Remember that offense that the Red Sox have forgotten to provide over the past 3 weeks? They tried AGAIN to bolster it today by acquiring C/1B Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians. The Indians are having a fire sale (Cliff Lee and Ryan Garko went in the past 48 hours) and Martinez is [...]

My grandmother was recently moved into a hospice and despite what everyone says, they are a very depressing place. If you don’t know what a hospice is, well.. it’s generally where you go to die. They have given up on treating your disease/ailment and they just want to make...

It’s being reported by the New York Times that lawyers familiar with baseball’s 2003 drug testing have said that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez BOTH failed the test that year.

Kotsay traded to White Sox

Mark Kotsay did not pass waivers, as expected, and has been dealt to the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Brian Anderson.
Red Sox receive: Brian Anderson
White Sox receive: Mark Kotsay, $$$
This trade, in my mind, doesn’t make too much sense. Brian Anderson is a VERY talented...
LaRoche activated; Kotsay DFA’ed

This probably caught a lot of people by surprise but the Red Sox designated Mark Kotsay for assignment today to make room for Adam LaRoche. Kotsay has been an excellent defensive utilityman for Boston, except his power numbers were pretty non-existent (only 1 HR and 2 doubles in 74...

Theo Epstein made one of his worst decisions as GM of the Boston Red Sox in 2007. He signed SS Julio Lugo for four years and $36 million dollars. A handful of under-performing seasons and 42 errors later, Theo has rid himself of his mistake.
Julio Lugo is now property of the St. Louis [...]

It’s been a long time coming. In fact, I woke up this morning and still thought I was asleep when I saw the influx of e-mails about it.

Dustin Pedroia is going to skip out on the All-Star Game this year but before you start fuming, it’s not for Manny Ramirez-esque reasons. Pedroia’s pregnant wife is currently hospitalized with “early labor complications” so he’s going to go spend some...
