Happ-less Sox Shut Down, Lackey Injured

By ⋅ April 7, 2013 ⋅ One comment

Everything seemed to be going according to the plan general manager Ben Cherington had in mind through the first four games of the season for the Boston Red Sox. The team was hitting, pitching, and playing good defense. On Saturday, the team experienced the type of loss that forced Red Sox Nation to put the [...]

The Changing Landscape of the American League East

By ⋅ December 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Buckle your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen. This is not in the AL East we’re used to any more. After a turbulent regular season, marked by the Baltimore Orioles making the playoffs and the Boston Red Sox finishing in last place, the offseason that followed has been equally hectic. A flurry of big-name acquisitions by [...]

By ⋅ June 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins Thursday night, beating them 6-5. Daisuke Matsuzaka struggled in the first inning, but was able to settle down to keep the team close throughout. Similar to the first two games, the Marlins started their offense early by scoring three runs in the top [...]

By ⋅ June 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Coming off of his worst start of the season against Washington, Felix Doubront dazzled in Miami, propelling the Red Sox towards a 10-2 win Wednesday night. His seven impressive innings and the awakening of the Sox offense against the Marlins bullpen led the way, including multihit games for the first four batters in the lineup. [...]

Beckett Solid, Red Sox Bats Quiet in 4-1 Loss

By ⋅ June 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox dropped their fourth straight game on Monday by a final score of 4-1 as they ran into more strong pitching, this time in the form of Miami Marlins ace Josh Johnson. The game featured the first start by Josh Beckett against his former franchise, but the Fish jumped all over him early on, [...]

Steroid Use Should Cost Ryan Braun MVP

By ⋅ December 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When you get caught cheating, you’re supposed to be punished. Copy your friend’s homework? Zero on the assignment. Run a red light to save a couple minutes? Ticket. Carry on an elicit affair? Divorce, and probably half your stuff. Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun got caught cheating: he failed a drug test. While a 50-game suspension [...]

Big-Spending Marlins Finally Embracing Miami

By ⋅ December 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I know the Marlins are a small market team. I know they do what they can with young players and then jettison them instead of paying them. I know no one wants to play for them. I know they have a horrible stadium. I know they have horrible uniforms. As long as I’ve cared about [...]

Hanley Ramirez to the Red Sox? Maybe it Could Happen

By ⋅ December 8, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

The winter meetings are fully underway, and teams across both leagues are making significant free agent splashes. Perhaps the biggest story, the Miami Marlins are buying players like an American League East team as they prepare for life at a new stadium. The question for Miami is whether or not they will be able to [...]

$100 Million Contracts: Big Risk or Death Sentence?

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ 12 comments

In today’s world, people define success by using many different standards.  These measures include happiness, wisdom, or even helping other members of society. Unfortunately all of these people foolishly overlook the true answer–earning a $100 million contract to play for a Major League Baseball team. Who doesn’t want to play a kiddie game for disgusting [...]

Red Sox (and their Fan Base) Should Stand Pat at the Trade Deadline

By ⋅ July 25, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the Red Sox acquired Jose Reyes? He would be a perfect fit at shortstop, one of the team’s few weaknesses. Reyes has a ridiculous batting average, steals bases, and is arguably having one of the best seasons in baseball. Boston’s already deep lineup would only get deeper. Or what about [...]

TGIF: Fantasy Baseball Draft, 2010

By ⋅ October 9, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

With the end of the 2009 season, it is never too early to look ahead to 2010. To me, baseball season never ends and I am already thinking about my strategy for next season (most notably because I finished 9th in one league). Believe it or not, before the year is out, some fantasy guru’s [...]

TGIF: Is Joe Mauer a First Round Pick in 2010?

By ⋅ September 18, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Up until this point in the history of fantasy baseball, no matter what format your league was, no matter what the stat categories were, you would never even comprehend the idea of drafting a catcher in the first round. However, the fantasy baseball world in recent years has decided to open its doors to players [...]

Pedro Martinez on the Verge of a Comeback?

By ⋅ August 11, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Eat crow. It’s an English idiom that means humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. I recently had to eat crow with a certain player you might know- John Smoltz. You might remember the stance I took on John Smoltz’s Fantasy Value before he took the mound for the first time [...]

Beltre Back With Something to Prove

By ⋅ August 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Now that the Major League trade deadline has come and gone, most of us have just started to take our fingers off the ice packs. Ask any doctor, there’s only so much refreshing of a website that one’s fingers can take. This is why I have trained to use all of my fingers to click [...]

Sell Dan Haren While You Still Can!

By ⋅ July 16, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Am I crazy? Some people may tell you differently, but I am so confident in this prediction that I am willing to put anything on the line. This is why I made a slap bet with my friend this week (those of you who watch “How I Met Your Mother” will know what I am [...]
