I suppose if I spent enough time in the dank, foreboding gallows of the AL East, being viewed as a perennial kicking bag and managed …

So let me get this straight: the Sox pound thirteen hits, six of them home runs; Papi, Reddick and Salty go back-to-back-to-back in the seventh; …

Not much to say about last night’s game other than I haven’t felt that bad for John Lackey since Ellsbury and the Elf refused to …

Josh Beckett, the man who tamed the Yankees, versus Cliff Lee, the man who snubbed the Yankees? Damn right I’ll take some of that. And …

The Sox are in Philly for the next couple days, which means Teets will be traveling incognito. The guy who used to manage the Phillies …

Josh Beckett will be doing the charity thing on August 29, hosting his annual Beckett Bowl at Lucky Strikes Lanes. My feeling is any event …

Wasn’t it just a couple weeks ago that the Sox were smashing the cream of the AL East to pulp, rolling over any team that …

Man, I’m pretty jazzed for this Boston-Pittsburgh series. Because I grew up in the heat of the great Sox-Pirates rivalry of the ’70s and ’80s. …

I appreciate you offering to drive me to Pittsburgh. No worries. Teets thought it would make sense. Give you a chance to relax. Find your …

::Yesterday, 6:30pm:: I’m feeling good. Ready to rock the house. Yeah, about that. I’m calling for a change of strategy. Que? If you win them …

See the guy in the photo above? That’s Dave Roberts. Former Red Sox. Cancer Survivor. Base Stealer. Keeper of the Awesome. He’s now the first …

Coming into this series with San Diego, my biggest concern wasn’t the games themselves, but whether Jed Hoyer might attempt to swipe Gonzalez back to …

This is my sixth Father’s Day without the old man around. But somehow, I know he’s watchin’. Every time the Sox come up big in …

And sophomoric humor. And references to a Carl Yastrzemski robot. Look, it’s the book we put out back in 2005 that recaps the magnificent season …

It’s come to the point that even John Lackey starts — which I once approached with a two-gallon jug of Maalox and high-grade anti-depressants — …

We’re the foot. Every other AL east team is the ass. Thank you.

Yes, it does. And that sound is “winning.” Last night, while all eyes and ears and beer mugs were on the hockey game, Commander Kickass …

I have to be honest: seeing the Sox’ win streak end at the hands of Small Game James and the Cowbell Rays bothered me more …

As a guy who suffered through the insufferable years… as someone who once believed Carney Lansford would lead us to the promised land… and as …

I know it’s important to have something to cling to as your team plummets down the standings. But celebrating another player taking a ball off …

Says it all, really.

Opposing teams may be happy to learn that our fireplug, cheerleader, asskicker extraordinaire, agent provocateur and walking soundbyte, Dustin Pedroia, is looking at the possibility …

The motherflippin’ Boston Red Sox are in first place in the East. The Yanks have been outquaffed, outclassed, and generally vanquished. Heidi is looking all …

The Yankees have gone on record as being peeved about Papi’s “excessive” bat flippage after his home run last night, not to mention Mark Teixeira …

Last night’s episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio — which, coincidentally, lost all credibility in my eyes during “Salute to Vin Diesel” week — featured …

Sunday Morning, Fenway Park. So. What’s the plan for Lackey? I think we’re gonna keep him on a tight pitch count today. Short leash. Help …

The other day I had a client meeting at 5:00pm — yes, on a Saturday, because business sleeps for no one, or so my boss …

When I’d heard we signed Carl Crawford, I imagined a guy who finally felt emancipated — freed from the half-empty stands and less-then-enthusiastic crowds of …

Ozzie Guillen’s Flying Circus pulls into Fenway tonight, with the Red Sox looking for their twentieth win of the month after storming through May at …

Yesterday’s twin bill in Detroit was like a trip in Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine. In the first game, we visited 2004, when Ortiz was a …

For a guy who was around when the New Testament was considered “science fiction,” Tim Wakefield has been one of the more versatile and at …

Denton and I attempted a respectable podcast last night. But either the booze or the weather or the altered state I’ve been in since Dunkin …

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 …

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 …

Couple weeks ago, we would have lost last night’s game. No question. The staggering amount of runners left on base. The inability to crack a …
