Wow–the last week has had buptkas as far as Red Sox News–I tried, I really did, but I did not have the heart to try and regurgitate something lame about nothing–How many times can we say “no word on the J.D. Drew deal?” (which still hasn’t been completed yet, DESPITE assurances from Satan himself–yes, I […]

On behalf of Boston Red Thoughts, and from all of us at NEPABlogs, may your holiday be filled with peace, love, happiness, and light…

In the interest of fairness, here are my Answers:

With the exception of Keith Foulke pitching for Cleveland and a couple other things below, there is NUTHIN going on–and probably won’t be until after Christmas…
Apparently, the Patriots days game will be played at 10:00 in 2007, instead of 11:05, as in previous years. The fans of the team they are playing, The Los Angeles […]

Can you believe it? A day without a Daisuke article? Be still my heart..Probably couldn’t get his 2nd grade teacher on the phone…
But in a completely shocking move, Scott Boras is saying that J.D. Drew has been checked out by “…noted experts that have demonstrated that he’s without any condition that would affect him over […]

Whooo Hoo, by the time Christmas gets here, we will be all spoiled…:-) Every day there seems to be a new deal for a new pitcher or such–after a season of disappointments, the off-season has been anything but…
In an interesting twist, apparently the “just a formality” physical underwent by J. D. Drew has uncovered some […]

11 days before Christmas, with the media lining up the block in front of Fenway Park yesterday, their numbers close to 300 (!) and Matsuzaka nearly knocking John Henry on his ass into a mud puddle (!!), Theo did admit this was not an easy deal to consummate. “There were certainly a lot of ups […]

While we wait for the 5:00pm press conference, and the official word on the signing of Daisuke Matsuzaka, pending a clean physical, natch) Just a few comments:
I am so so SO happy about the terms of this deal (6 years $52 million), which breaks down into a little more than $8.5 a year, and also […]
