Dice-K is scheduled to be activated and pitch tonight against the Mets. Of course, that means that a pitcher needs to be sent down to the minors to make room for him. Who should that be?
There’s really two options. Hunter Jones or Daniel Bard
I think we’re all impressed with how Bard has performed in [...]

I can barely bring myself to write about yesterday’s game. It’s take my all day just to even start composing this. I’ve avoided sports web sites and boston.com all day. And now game 4 is a few hours away and here I am. Writing a blog post just to get all the negative thoughts out [...]

Timlin? Did Mike Timlin seriously make an appearance in the 11th inning of a tie playoff game? WTF, Francona?????
As much as I was in disbelief over Dice-K’s dominating game 1 performance, I’m in disbelief that Francona brought in Mike Timlin in the top of the 11th of Game 2. Hell, I’m even surprised that Timlin [...]

Did that game really happen last night? I’m still in disbelief. Did Dice-K really take a no-hitter into the 7th inning?
It just seems so unplausable to me. I’ll admit that midway through the first inning, when Dice-K was walking the bases loaded, I was thinking “Sox are destined to lose this one by 5 [...]

Well, that game was a bummer. Did the Sox deserve to win that game? Probably not. Did the Angels deserve to lose it? Absolutely.
From Bad News Bears-esque fielding to baserunning blunders, the Angels looked for every way they could to lose this game. Why Howie Kendrick is still in the Angels lineup is bizarre to [...]

That’s not exactly the best nickname ofr the porn star’s boyfriend but it’ll do pig.
I just read this article and it left me with a sense of a feeling of wisp of a thought: Bucky has a tell.
We all know he has good stuff. In fact, some of the runs he gave [...]
One of the frequently reported themes in the aftermath of the Manny Ramirez - Jason Bay trade has been how other American League teams are celebrating of the Ortiz-Ramirez combo. With that lethal combination part of the everyday lineup, the Red Sox could use brute force to power their way to victory in any game [...]
By mess, I’m referring to the fact that they almost ran out of pitchers because the managers are (justifiably) worried about overusing arms that aren’t theirs to overuse. Even 12 pitchers isn’t enough.
So my idea to fix this would be to add the entire bullpen of a single team in each leagues. In fact, you [...]
It’s that time of the year. July. Time talk trades. The deadline is at the end of the month and the big name that will get tons of media attention is CC Sabathia of the Cleveland Indians.
Let’s assume that trading for him means being able to sign him to a long-term contract. No short term [...]
What are we to make of Charlie Zink? That would be the 28 year old knuckleball pitcher who (at the time of this writing) has a 7-2 record with a 2.21 ERA at Pawtucket. Amazingly, we never talk about him. We project the sox pitching staff in numerous ways that involve up and comers like [...]
