THE RED SOX BULLPEN IS A REAL MESS

Whomever would have thouight that with all of the injuries that the Red Sox have had to overcome this year that their real problem at the end of the day would be its bullpen. Besides what I would consider to be sub par seasons from Oki, Ramirez, Achison and Delcarmen, Papelbon has almost been just as [...]

JOHN LACKEY TO THE RED SOX. ARE THERE MORE MOVES COMING??

The Red Sox have reportedly come to terms with former Angels Ace John Lackey on a five year -$85 Million dollar contract. He was in Boston yesterday for his physical and the deal should be announced officially sometime in the near future. So does this deal clear the way for the Sox to trade Clay Bucholz [...]

RED SOX CRUMBLE AT THE FINISH!!!!!

What a dissapointing end to the 2009 season as the Red Sox blew a 5 to 1 lead at home in Game 3 to be swept by the Angels. There are certainly lots of fingers to point all the way around but it was certainly dissapointing to see Buckholtz fall aaprt the way he did in [...]

CAN THE RED SOX COME BACK FROM BEING DOWN 2-0?

Yes the Sox have come from behind before in the playoffs but is this year a different situation? I still think the Sox have what it takes to take three in a row from the Angels. If Bucholtz pitches a good game today, the Sox bats should come alive and then anything can happen! I know this [...]

THANK GOODNESS THE RED SOX DO NOT OPERATE LIKE THE BOSTON BRUINS!

So the Bruins decided that they did not need to keep their 22 year old sniper that can score 40-50 goals per season choosing instead to trade him to Toronto for draft picks instead of paying him. Well just imagine if the Red Sox instead of signing the long term deals last winter that they [...]

DICE K UPDATE

The Red Sox could really use Dice K right now. However anyone that was hoping for him to return to form this year might have to think twice after last nights AA rehab start. Dice K gace up 5 runs in the first inning! After the game, he reported that his shoulder felt fine and that [...]

CAN THE RED SOX STILL CATCH THE YANKEES FOR THE DIVISION?

As of this evening the Red Sox are 7.5 games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East. Doesn’t it seem like it was just yesterday that the Sox were 8-0 against the Yankees for the season while enjoying a 3.5 game lead in the division? Well things have certainly changed in a hurry. [...]

FOR THE RED SOX, IS JD DREW A BIGGER FREE AGENT BUST THAN JULIO LUGO WAS?

Now that Julio Lugo is no longer a member of the Boston Red Sox, does that make JD Drew the teams most current free agent bust? At 34 years of age, JD Drew is making $14 Million Dollars this year. In return, he is htting only .241 with an on base percentage of .365. Granted he [...]

WHY IS MANNY RAMIREZ BACK ALREADY???

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Major League Baseball is allowing Manny Ramirez go to AAA to get ready for his return to the Dodgers BEFORE the July 1st date in which he is allowed to be reinstated? Reports are that Manny suited up for the Dodgers top farm club the Albuquerque [...]
