After the dust settled last October, pitching was not exactly a bright spot in the 2011 Red Sox season. One positive that did come out of it was Alfredo Aceves. Primarily a reliever, Aceves went 10-2 with a 2.61 ERA and was arguably the team’s most reliable pitcher. Aceves and the Red Sox were $700,000 [...]

Do you ever wonder if the NFL is really just America’s greatest reality show? A step up from Survivor or Fear Factor maybe…but not that different? If you saw all of the “fluke” plays in the Conference Championship games yesterday in a movie, you wouldn’t believe it. The touchdown catch that Lee Evans dropped. The [...]

Don’t be surprised if sometime around the middle of May you catch MLB highlights and see Manny Ramirez at the plate. Manny took BP in a batting cage and caught the eye of a few American League teams in need of a DH. Ramirez requested reinstatement after retiring from baseball following his second drug test [...]

As Red pointed out yesterday, Jacoby Ellsbury went from one end of the spectrum in 2010 to the other 2011. It doesn’t look like Carl Crawford will have the same transformation in 2012. After a dismal 2011 where Craw channeled his inner Jose Offerman (the 2000 version), it looks like he will be starting the [...]
