It Gets Better
Over the summer the Red Sox pulled a classy move and filmed their own ‘It Gets Better‘ commercial. If you’re not aware of the program, ‘It Gets Better’ was created to help those young people who are dealing with bullying and homophobia. The message is pretty simple: You are who you are, please don’t do [...]

Strike Out Cancer
WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon August 30 and 31, 2011 6 AM to Midnight My first encounter with cancer came when I was 13 years old. I was taking my yellow lab Taffy outside for a walk. My parents had gotten her as a puppy when I was born and we were inseparable. At times she [...]

Beckett Bowl 2011 recap
Beckett Bowl 2011 is complete. There were Sox players galore (Daniel Bard, Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, and Jon Lester among others), a few members of the Stanley Cup champion Bruins (Daniel Paille, and Dennis Seidenberg), a handful of other athletes (soccer players that I’ve never seen before in my life, ex-NCAA hockey stars) and some [...]

Red Sox/Yankees pitching matchups
My father-in-law gives me a call every time the Red Sox and Yankees play because he can never seem to find the games on TV. Are they on TBS? Fox? ESPN? MLB Network? NESN? I’ll make it easy for you Bob, here is some series info: Tuesday, August 30th @ 7:10 PM LHP CC Sabathia [...]

Wet and wild weekend!
This was a pretty crazy weekend for New Englanders. We had threats of a hurricane wiping us off the map but it only did minimal damage (I know, to those of you with destroyed property or missing loved ones it does not seem like minimal damage but in the grand scheme of things, it is.) [...]

Oops (and the Beckett Bowl!)
I know, I know. I’m a jerk. I promise more updates and instead I disappear for 5 months. But don’t worry, I’ve got an excuse! There was no way I was going to skip the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup run. If you’re a Boston sports fan, you know that this is completely understandable. The problem [...]

A lot of offseason changes
We are now only 3 days away from Opening Day and I have yet to say more than a few words about the Sox all offseason. I will admit that I have been swept up in the Bruins success this winter and my new job has taken up a large (read: all) portion of my [...]

2011 MLB Predictions
It has been a long bitter-cold and snowy off-season but we’re now a little over 3 weeks away (26 days) from the start of Spring Training so I suppose it is time to get back in the swing of things. Now I’m not much of a sports betting man but I have a habit of [...]

The Green Fields of the Mind
It isn’t a wrap until one of my favorite baseball poems of all-time is said: The Green Fields of the Mind by A. Bartlett Giamatti It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the [...]

Mike Lowell’s goodbye speech
Prior to today’s game, the Red Sox and company held a little pre-game ceremony for Mike Lowell in honor of his retirement from baseball. Here were Mikey’s comments given out by the Sox press patrol: “First of all, I’d like to thank the Red Sox organization for this ceremony and the very, very generous check [...]

Youkilis out until 2011
When it rains, it pours (literally.. have you looked outside today?!) Kevin Youkilis, one of the few remaining healthy players on the 2010 Red Sox went down with a thumb injury on Monday against the Indians. The thumb had been bothering him for a few weeks but Youkilis tried to fight through it until the [...]

Rangers still stalking Mike Lowell
Mike Lowell hasn’t appeared in a game for Boston since June 22nd and he’s only gotten to start 8 games all season. Most of this is due to his old-man hip but a lot of it has to do with the deep bench that the big league club has got and the unexpected excellent performance [...]

Thank you Nick Swisher (from a Sox fan)
Sure, I’m not a very big Nick Swisher fan and I have been known to immediately put down any food that I’m eating over the past couple of seasons whenever I see his greasy hair on my HDTV. Why? Other than the fact that he plays for the New York Yankees, I think the “Bleacher [...]

Buchholz latest All-Star to DL
First time All-Star Clay Buchholz has become the latest Red Sox player to hit the disabled list. Buchholz, 10-4 with a 2.45 ERA in 15 starts this season, strained his left hamstring while running the bases in San Francisco on June 26th. You can officially add a no-hitter to my post on the most talented [...]

Red Sox ’10 All-Stars announced
The Red Sox have put 6 of their own on the AL All-Star team this year. For the first time in recent memory, none of them were voted to start by the fans. Usually you could make the argument that at least one or two of them deserve to be starting but it’d be a [...]

The most talented Disabled-List in baseball
The Red Sox currently have ten players on the disabled list: Josh Beckett, Manny Delcarmen, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jeremy Hermida, Mike Lowell, Jed Lowrie, Victor Martinez, Dustin Pedroia, Junichi Tazawa, and Jason Varitek. Not only does this equal one of the more expensive DLs in baseball but it is also one of the most talented. Just [...]

Chase Utley is in my kitchen

Victor Martinez to the DL
I had a bad feeling while I was writing the Red Sox injury update article that Victor Martinez would be joining the All-Star cast of players on the disabled list. My suspicions were confirmed yesterday as the Sox placed him on the 15-day (retroactive to June 28th) for a fractured left thumb. The team has [...]

Clay Buchholz on Tosh.0
I know that this is a pretty old video but since we won’t see Buchholz for another week+ thanks to his torn hamstring, I figured it was time for a little dose of Clay. He comes in near the end of the video but the beginning is pretty amusing anyway. Tosh.0

Huge Red Sox injury update
Somehow the Red Sox have the 4th best record in all of baseball. This is without a healthy starting rotation and an Opening Day outfield that hasn’t even played 10 full games together. The injury situation only got worse over the weekend as three more players went down in the series against the Giants. It’s [...]

Pedroia saves the day
Yes, it could have been another monumental collapse by Jonathan Papelbon. Only one night after blowing a save in a game that would have given sure-shot Cy Young candidate Ubaldo Jimenez only his second loss of the year, Paps was on his way to becoming the losing pitcher yet again.
Dustin Pedroia had other ideas [...]
