You would think that less than a week after a major shakeup in major League baseball, that there would still be more stuff to talk about….but another slow news day–4 days after the Mitchell Report!
An honorable Yankee? Say it isn’t so! But it’s true. Andy Pettitte actually did the right thing over [...]

About 2 hours before the Mitchell Report came out, I saw “The List” that was circulating–and my heart sank. It had names on it like Jason Varitek, Trot Nixon, Skeezy Bastard…and Nomar…Fortunately, when the report came out at 2:00pm, none of their names appeared in the document…although 2 recent Sox players did appear: [...]

That the infamous Mitchell Report comes out and will hopefully blow the lid off the steroid use in Major League Baseball–lets just hope that the Red Sox, past and present are few and far between on the list…
From Schill: “The hope, I think, for most people is that there will be some closure sometime [...]

It doesn’t seem that being the World Series Champion helps any when it comes to sloooooow news days–there are still a TON of them. I mean, how many times can we all talk about whether or not Johan Santana will come to the Sox (it is being said that the odds of that are decreasing [...]

Its officially official, Mike Timlin will once again pitch for the Red Sox, signing a 1 year/ $3 million contract for the 2008 campaign. And how about this for refreshing: Mike doesn’t HAVE an agent–he does all of his negotiations HIMSELF…His 2007 record from 2-1 with a 3.42 ERA, he ranks 4th on [...]

Not only did the Sox not pick up someone in the Rule 5 Draft (notable Draftee: Lenny DiNardo–got him from the Mets, remember?) The Giants and the Phillies each picked up a pitcher from the Sox organization: left-handed starter Jose Capellan, 21, who went 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 14 starts with [...]

The Sox go from being inches away from signing a deal with the Twins for Johan Santana, to the Twin going out and actually asking other teams if they want him–W…T…F…?
Apparently the Twins want both Jon Lester AND Jacoby Ellsbury–the Sox say “one or the other–not both”
C’mon are the Twins still made over the whole [...]

As another day passes at the Winter Meetings, the Sox are still in the running for the services of left handed pitcher Johan Santana, and there are a bunch of indications that they are the only ones left.
Apparently, the Skanks are sticking to their word that Monday night at midnight they DID remove [...]

Unless the Skanks totally wimp out and withdraw their deadline of midnight last night (which is completely like–just like they did the whole A-fraud thing) it looks like Johan Santana will not be playing for the NY Yankees next year–HA HA…
And rumor has it that the Sox and the Twins were exchanging medical info on [...]

…And the Sox wait to see if Minnesota will accept their offering, or the Skanks for Johan Santana…Apparently, the Skanks have put a deadline of today for their offering, which includes their best and brightest pitching prospect, Phil Hughes, as well as Melky Cabrera…and this is royally p*ssing off the Twins…so its geting interesting…
The Sox [...]
