By ⋅ June 8, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

After Clay Buchholz missed his turn in the rotation with an injury he may or may not have incurred from sleeping on his shoulder in a weird position, alarm bells immediately went off across the fantasy universe. True, the 28-year-old righty was off to the best start of his career with a record of 7-0 [...]

Clay Buchholz Rises Above Cheating Allegations

By ⋅ June 8, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The implications of a cheating accusation in baseball can be enormous. Jack Morris, a color commentator for the Toronto Blue Jays radio broadcast, put Clay Buchholz and the Boston Red Sox at risk of these implications when he accused the starting pitcher of throwing a “spitter.” However, the hard throwing righty demonstrated mental fortitude and [...]

By ⋅ May 27, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Mired in a slow start that has him hitting just .249/.319/.338 two months into the season, Jacoby Ellsbury sure picked a fine time to deliver a key hit. Ellsbury delivered a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning to deliver an epic 6-5 Boston Red Sox comeback, walk-off win over the Cleveland [...]

Heeeere’s Jonny! Gomes Lifts Red Sox to Extra Inning Win over Twins

By ⋅ May 18, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

He’s hitting .183 on the season. His slugging percentage (.310) would be good if it were his batting average. The supposed lefty-masher has just six hits (albeit two home runs) in 37 at-bats against left-handed pitching – in other words, half his strikeout total in those plate appearances (12). Nonetheless, despite going hitless last night, [...]

By ⋅ April 25, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

On paper, the match up between the American League Cy Young award frontrunner in Clay Buchholz and far from perfect Philip Humber looked like a potential Boston blowout. And at least on this Thursday night at Fenway Park, the reality was close to those expectations. The Boston Red Sox improved to an impressive 15-7 mark [...]

Clay Buchholz flirted with his second career no-hitter, holding the Tampa Bay Rays hitless until the eighth inning to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 5-0 victory.

ESPN’s Offseason Grade for Red Sox is Not Too Far Off

By ⋅ March 23, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

About a month ago, ESPN put up an article about the grade of all the moves and different positions that the Boston Red Sox, and every other MLB team, made, and the Red Sox received a B. That’s it a straight-out B. I may be an optimist with this team, but I think this type [...]

How Many Games Will the 2013 Red Sox Win?

By ⋅ March 16, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s never easy to try and predict how many games any team will win, especially in baseball, and especially entering a year where the Boston Red Sox find themselves in one of the strongest divisions — on paper, that is. It’s unclear as to how things will really play out, especially with all the players who [...]

With the success of the NFL and its ability to change its rules from year to year, which in turn [...]

Well, Now What? The Aftermath of the Red Sox-Dodgers Blockbuster

By ⋅ September 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Shipping Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Josh Beckett out to the Los Angeles Dodgers opens the door to nearly endless possible moves for the Red Sox to make for next season and future seasons.

Sox Players Skip Pesky’s Funeral, Sink Lower in Fans’ Esteem

By ⋅ August 23, 2012 ⋅ One comment

If you asked me if this team could sink any lower a week ago, I would have responded with “how could that happen?” It’s no secret the 2012 campaign has been a dark cloud on the franchise’s history. There have been plenty of reasons to dislike this team ever since September of last season. Yet [...]
