Today marks the 17 year anniversary of the craziest thing I’ve ever seen during a Red Sox game. I still wake up some mornings and …

Used to be that when shit got real or real bad, a trip to Fenway Park made everything better. But now… I can’t even do …

I first wrote this blog post in 2011, roughly five years after my dad passed. Right up until the day he died, Opening Day was …

Look, I’ve been away for a while on my winter sabbatical and there’s a lot of things to talk about. But rather than rattle on …

Alright you know that this headline’s misleading because any discussion of the greatest Red Sox player ever starts with Ted Williams, David Ortiz or Eric …

Alright, the Red Sox didn’t really eliminate the Yankees. Or… did they? No, technically there’s still a lot of baseball left to play. But after …

I could sit here and check off all the baseball cliches about teams picking up their superhuman starters when they’re down and what that says …

There was a time when the Yankees bringing in their closer to secure a win over the Red Sox was a done deal. Like, we …

We knew the Red Sox had something up their sleeves for Big Papi’s final regular season game at Fenway Park. You don’t let a player …

I’ll cut right to the chase: After a lackluster June, and taking on the lowly Angels, the Red Sox absolutely needed a win last night. …

Poor Xander Bogaerts. The X Man was about the only living highlight from this shit-flat 4-6 homestand, and his tenth-inning single in today’s win helped …

I wrote this back in 2011, five years after my dad passed. And I’ve re-posted it pretty much every year since then. I used to …

Alright, that headline is utter nonsense. Jackie didn’t knock in 2,000 runs over this three-game set with the A’s. He knocked in 13. But, man, …

One of the coolest new visuals to spring up on the Fenway skyline is a billboard of Xander Bogaerts which portrays X firin’ off a …

Christian Vazquez made his much-reheralded return to the bigs last night, and wasted no time reminding opposing players that there’s a new sheriff in town. …

On my way in to the game today, so I will shamelessly re-post this entry from a couple years back. Because it all still matters. …

Today is Opening Day for the 2016 Boston Red Sox. And in my mind — a sick and twisted place you don’t want to visit …

Let’s face it: most of the first two months of this season have been largely forgettable for Mike Napoli and at least forty percent of …

At this point, there’s nothing about Mookie Betts that surprises us. So when the guy robbed Bryce Harper of a home run with a Dewey-esque …

Say what you will about the Jeets send-off today at Fenway, it was an effectively emotional affair, pulled together nicely by the Red Sox brass. …

The Red Sox have always been this city’s personal embodiment of a Shakespeare play. For six months each year they bring us comedy, tragedy, farce …

Just when the 2014 Red Sox season seems to be spiraling down the crapper, they throw us a curve. A life preserver. Something to keep …

  It took until the fifth inning for the Red Sox to get their first hit, a Daniel Nava ground-rule double. And that was their …

Just a couple weeks ago, this season seemed lost. The Red Sox’ seven game win streak was a distant memory, and a season of mediocrity …

I took in yesterday’s game at Fenway, and my visit re-confirmed two things: This team cannot hit in the clutch to save their lives, and …

Last Friday, I was pretty much writing the 2014 Red Sox off, quietly packing away my foam finger and seeking refuge in my 2013 World …

With the Reds in town and the constant reminders of Carlton Fisk’s famous home run in game six of the ’75 World Series, I kinda …

Okay, it’s never good to make such assumptions. But after last night, I really do feel like the Red Sox have turned a corner. Was …

A 3-4 road trip isn’t what most defending world champs would aspire to, but last night’s 3-1 win over the White Sox gives me a …

This afternoon, we’ll see the third World Series ring ceremony at Fenway Park in ten years. Does that even make sense? Take a minute, if …

After giving us one of the best Octobers in recent memory and stuffing 2013 with all sorts of awesome, we really can’t blame the Red …
