After six days without his greasy mug in the line-up, I have to say, I miss just seeing Kevin Youkilis play, let alone the one …

Attention, Red Sox management: During this afternoon’s Sox-Rays mash-up, when you see the plane passing overhead tugging the banner that says “Pay Bay!”, just know …

Okay, well, I’ll get right to the bad news. Lieutenant Remy is down for the count. Won’t be back for a while. Shit. It’s the …

Once in a while, you’re gonna have your shyte games. Last night was a shyte game. So we’ll focus on some of the positive things: …
