John Lackey Seen Double-Fisting Bud Light Beers in Red Sox Road Clubhouse

Red Sox pitcher John Lackey, who has missed the entire season due to recovery from Tommy John surgery, is apparently quite thirsty. Hey, a man’s got to drink right?

Red Sox Place Carl Crawford on Waivers

The Red Sox have placed outfielder Carl Crawford on waivers, according to Ken Rosenthal, and that’s not necessarily surprising. With Crawford now on waivers, many things can happen.

PETA Buys Fenway Park Brick, Engraves ‘Lobster Liberation’ Subliminal Message

Since everyone is so excited about Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary (wait, you’re not?), PETA decided to join the craze and buy a brick.
