Nomar Garciaparra returns to Fenway Park for the first time since 2004, now with his third team since leaving Boston in the deadline deal. The Red Sox visited Wrigley Field in 2005, but Nomar was hurt (shocking!) and they were in Oakland earlier this season when Garciaparra went 1-4 in a start and walked in a pinch hit [...]

Nomar Garciaparra last played for the Red Sox in July 2004 before he was traded to the Cubs in a four-way deal that brought Orlando Cabrera and Doug Mientkiewicz…and eventually a World Series Title to Boston.

What a week!  We had a sweep at the hands of the Angels before they added Mark Teixeira (I know he played in the finale, but the Angels won five of the six games in the past couple weeks without him).  The Manny Ramirez saga played itself out with Jason Bay coming to Boston and immediately [...]

First, I want to get it out of the way, I am a Red Sox snob and a die-hard one at that. I feel entitled to that team as if I am on a different level in my relationship with that club. But I am, indeed a real Red Sox fan. What does that exactly [...]
