There has been much ado on the local airwaves made about the Red Sox "making a move" at the trading deadline. Some of the hosts clearly need something to talk about. Fortunately, the return of the NFL will relegate the Sox talk to the back burner, as they continue to …

Well, I'm glad that's over.

Sometimes I feel the All-Star game has turned into the Oscars.  I like seeing who plays, and who wins, but does it have to take so long?  The Oscars, of course, is plagued by the endless speeches, and the All-Star game by …

April has not been a good month for the dominant teams of the American League East over the last decade.

The Sox start has been nothing short of disastrous.  A start so bad it's made National headlines.  Conventional wisdom is the Sox have too much talent to continue …

Ugh.  What a gross start to the season.

I pride myself on being able to not over react to a series or a stretch of bad baseball - although brutal to watch, it happens to all teams. This reminds me too much of LAST April however, back when the Sox …

July 11th, 2011 Update:

At this point, the defacto everyday lineup for the Sox is as follows. They don't really have an "everyday" line up, but if everyone is healthy, and its an important game …
