Big Papi came through 2004-style to win the first leg of the double-header, smacking a solo shot in the top of the ninth. The Sox …

Play time is over, bitches. After another vicious assault, this time with the Tigers playing the victim, the Red Sox are mere percentage points out …

Day game in the fair city of Cleveland with Jon Lester on the hill. I’m penciling in a “W” based on Jonny K’s career stats: …

Is the injury plague going to strike the Red Sox again? What next, famine? Locusts? Potato blight? Depending on who you believe, Dice-K is either …

Another eighth-inning meltdown to bury a sure-thing win? A second bullpen implosion to keep us out of first place? A missed opportunity to show the …

The last time these two teams played, the Red Sox were spiraling around the drain and nobody knew the Indians were going be a contender. …

There’s no one on this Red Sox team whose success gets me giddier than Tim Wakefield. Yes, the man can inspire heart-stoppage and spontaneous window-punching …

Well that didn’t go as planned. In one epic clusterf%&k of an inning, the Red Sox turned a 3-1 lead into a 9-3 disaster. Aceves did …

I may change my opinion on inter-league play if the Sox keep this up. Last night’s assault on the Cubs should be enough to keep …

Well, as I was driving on the rain-soaked highways and backstreets of Massachusetts, it struck me what an odd thing a 2011 Yankee fan is. …

Kevin Youkilis in the dugout spending a quiet moment with Eliza Dushku. Interesting. Eliza was at a recent charity event Youk held, but so was …

I hate to say I called it on our last podcast, but I called the motherf#$king shyte out of this weekend series. A sweep of …

Coming into this season, Josh Beckett was one of our biggest question marks. But after watching Commander Kick Ass channel his 2007 self and shut …

Watching a Fox broadcast of the Red Sox playing the Yankees is very similar to getting your annual physical during an alien abduction. Or so …
