Gammons: Red Sox Owners Nixed 2009 Signing of Jose Bautista Over Money

By ⋅ May 1, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Red Sox owner John Henry is already an unpopular man in Boston, and it looks like his approval rating is about to take another big hit. In his weekly MLB.com article, posted on Sunday night, NESN analyst Peter Gammons casually mentioned that Henry nixed a move that would’ve changed the course of Red Sox history. [...]

By ⋅ April 30, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Although Boston’s 6-game winning streak ended Sunday at the hands of pitcher Gavin Floyd and the Chicago White Sox, the Sox can return to Fenway feeling much better about their team than when they departed. Since blowing a 9-1 lead to the Yankees on April 21, the Red Sox won 6 straight on the road [...]

By ⋅ April 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was seven days, seven wins this past week for the Pawtucket Red Sox. The perfect week was good enough to push the Sox past the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and into first place in the IL North.

Distracted? Youkilis Marries Brady’s Sister, Has Baby On The Way

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Last week, Bobby Valentine said Kevin Youkilis isn’t “as physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past.” He later backtracked…but it looks as if he was right. On the field, Youkilis is hitting .190/.271/.310 with 1 HR and 5 RBI. I know it’s early, but maybe injuries and years of [...]

Reviewing NESN’s Jenny Dell (So Far)

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

The 2012 season is about a month old and already two things are very clear: I miss last year’s bullpen and last year’s “sideline” reporter. Sorry folks, but Jenny Dell is not really doing it for me. I know, I know, the women reading this are calling me a superficial pig and the fellas reading this [...]

The Felger & Mazz Agenda: Not Fact Or Opinion

By ⋅ April 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A year and a half ago when the ratings at WEEI began to falter, Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti offered something refreshing. It was an alternative to what had become the Big Show’s stale rhetoric on WEEI. Also, by starting out as an FM station and adding the Bruins broadcast rights, 98.5 immediately gained street [...]

Rangers C Napoli Helps Drop Red Sox to 4-8

By ⋅ April 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Hey, at least they’re better than 2-10! OK, but 4-8 isn’t much to be proud of. The Red Sox fell four games under .500 again after dropping another game to the Rangers 6-3 on Tuesday. Mike Napoli was the latest nemesis, blasting a go-ahead 2-run home run in the fourth inning and a back-breaking, bases-loaded [...]

By ⋅ April 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After finishing their opening six-game homestand at .500, the Pawtucket Red Sox hit the road with a vengeance this week on their first 2012 tour of upstate New York. There was some great pitching, some terrible pitching, some blowouts, some close games, and even a little free baseball. In addition, the Sox hosted their first [...]

Bobby Valentine Backtracks on Kevin Youkilis Comments

By ⋅ April 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Bobby Valentine failed to use any tact when talking about Kevin Youkilis in an interview with Channel 7 that aired Sunday night. “I don’t think he’s as physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past for some reason,” said Valentine. “But [on Saturday] it seemed, you know, he’s seeing the [...]

On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at Fenway, the Red Sox continued to roll over their division enemies by winning their third straight with a 6-4victory over Tampa Bay.

Buchholz, Red Sox Move On Without Ellsbury, Beat Rays Again

By ⋅ April 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

For a while, it seemed like “here we go again” with Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz on Saturday against the Rays. The righty was awful in his first outing of the season (4 IP, 7 ER), and was off to a rough start  in the early going Saturday after allowing four runs, including a three-run [...]

Jacoby Ellsbury Injury Update: Out 6-8 Weeks with Right Shoulder Subluxation

By ⋅ April 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Jacoby Ellsbury just can’t buy a break sometimes. Two years ago, he played just 18 games while he battled severely broken ribs. Last year, he had a career season but finished 2nd in MVP voting (behind a freaking pitcher!) after his team absolutely choked away their playoff spot. And now this year, Ellsbury will miss [...]

Bats are Silent Once Again as Sox Fall to Jays, 3-1

By ⋅ April 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Red Sox have started the new season almost as poorly as the last. With Wednesday’s 3-1 loss at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, the Sox will head back to Fenway with a 1-5 record, barely better than last year’s 0-6 opening. Taking the loss was Jon Lester, who pitched the Red [...]
