The Red Sox fell out of their groove, getting shut out by the Texas Rangers on Friday night by the score of 7-0. Red Sox starter Felix Doubront had a horrible outing, going 3.2 innings while giving up 12 hits, 6 runs, and only striking out 2. Rangers starter Derek Holland silenced the Red Sox [...]
Derek Lowe was one of the true heroes during the Red Sox World Series run in 2004. He did things no one, including him, will ever forget. Well, hopefully Lowe has a good memory, because the most important momento from that team’s win, his World Series ring, was recently stolen from his Fort Myers home, [...]
After fifteen seasons, three All-Star appearances, and two World Series trophies with the Boston Red Sox, Jason Varitek will retire at the age of 39, Peter Abraham reports.
Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine and GM Ben Cherington announced last week that RHP Daniel Bard will be used as a starter in Spring Training, to see if he would be a good fit for the rotation on a permanent basis. While I have already stated my reasons why I think that this move [...]
Over the past week or so, it’s been made abundantly clear that Mike Lowell is no longer happy in Boston. It’s sad, but who can blame him? Lowell has been fighting injury and giving his all to the Red Sox since 2006, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. There’s a reason Red Sox Nation [...]

The Red Sox welcomed back old friend Derek Lowe, who left after helping the Red Sox win their first world series since 1918 back in 2004. Lowe moved onto the Dodgers and then the Braves, and has never pitched against the Red Sox in his career. He pitched pretty well Saturday night, allowing three runs on [...]
John Smoltz is ready to come back anytime and it seems the only obstacle is making a move to get him a roster and rotation spot. The Red Sox decided against putting Smoltz in a position to make his Red Sox debut his former team, the Braves. With Daisuke Matsuzaka, Josh Beckett, and Tim Wakefield [...]
The Yankees have quite a bit of holes to fill this offseason. Simply put their hitting last year was abysmal (partially due to injuries, but also some guys aging) and their starting pitching had so many injuries that they relied much too much on Sidney Ponson. Their fielding has sunk to a really poor level [...]
Well, what can we say after ten long weeks of fantasy play? Braves 3B Chipper Jones is still hitting over .400 (.420). That is something we didn’t see coming. Braves 3B Chipper Jones missed Sunday’s game due to injury. That is something we saw coming from a mile away. The injury isn’t considered serious and he [...]
