It was the game that broke many generations of Red Sox hearts, the game that gave Bucky &*$&#@#&$* Dent the middle name (and notoriety) that will stay with him forever, and the game that probably defined a bitter rivalry better than any other game in history…
We all know the date–Red Sox and Yankee fans alike: [...]

Holy…Buckets!!! BILL BUCKNER??? How on earth did the Sox manage to get Bill Buckner to come back to Fenway??! Since I did not get to watch it live (^#*@^#&@^*#) I already knew that Buckner was throwing out the 1st pitch, but that in no way diminished the impact seeing him walk on the field and [...]

We all know Trot signed a 1 year contract with Cleveland last year, when the Sox decided to go and get a more expensive (and less productive) right fielder in JD Drew. And, at this point, Cleveland has not offered an extension to Trot, nor has anyone else. And, the Sox are still looking for [...]

Holy Buckets! Feels like forever since I have written—but there is just…nothing…out… there…
We are at 30 days until Pitchers and Catchers, and the biggest news in the last week is the negotiations for a backup catcher?
No disrespect to Doug Mirabelli, who does a superb job catching Tim Wakefield, and I think also contributes a lot his [...]

Well, Jim Ed got much closer–unfortunately, it was not close enough. Placing 2nd in the balloting by adding 46 votes and increasing 8.7%, Jim Rice finished at 392 votes and 72.2%–which is basically 16 votes shy of the 75% needed to get into the hall.
The good news is that he still has another year before [...]

Again I will say, Holy Buckets! Is this getting CRAZY or what? Roger got VERY cranky during his press conference yesterday, bitching out the press and anyone else within earshot. He even pulled out excepts from a phone call he has with his accuser, Brian McNamee, which has Brian CRYING and continually asking “What do [...]

So after a year + of being the forgotten man of the Boston Red Sox, the Emancipator, Matt Clement, has moved on, signing a 1 year/ $1.5 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. The team also holds a club option for 2009. After being sidelined for well over a year, and having athroscopic surgery on [...]

My heart is broken…
Gabe Kapler IS returning to baseball for the 2008 campaign, after retiring and managing Single A Greenville in 2007–but he is not coming back to the Sox–he has signed a 1 year, $800K contract with the freakin Milwaukee Brewers. RSN will get to see him tho, when the Brewers come to Fenway [...]

I have always disliked Jeff Weaver (even before he played for the Skankees) so seeing him get LIT UP, giving up 7 runs on SEVENTY pitches in 2 innings–well that is just icing on the cake.
Josh Beckett pitched like a World Series MVP, going 7 innings and throwing 84 pitches, only allowing 2 hits, while [...]

Before we get all caught up in the brouhaha that is Daisuke’s (I refuse to use the “cutesy spelling of his name–”Dice-K”) start, we need to acknowledge that Josh Beckett as pretty amazing last night. Throwing 94 pitches over 5 innings, he ended up only allowing 1 run on 2 hits, walking 4 and striking [...]
