Don’t expect Hideki Okajima to repeat his 2007 season. He’ll be solid, but last year he came out of nowhere to be lights out. Hitters will adjust this season and how Okie adjusts will determine his success this year. I expect him be a solid contributor and setup man to Papelbon, but [...]

At first I thought the best thing about the game this morning was that my 20 month old daughter cheered before i did when when manny hit the go-ahead double in the 10th. Then I saw the pic above this article……A normal person would think I was excited to see the Sox faithful at [...]
Apparently, Tito is leaning towards batting Jacoby Ellsbury not at the top of the order, where he kicked ass in the World Series last year, but near the bottom.
I’m sure he doesn’t want to put undo pressure on his rookie center fielder, but for the 2008 Red Sox to really shine, Jacoby needs to be [...]
The Red Sox enter the 2008 season anointed as the favorites by espn.com. Are we ready for this responsibility?
