Glancing at the Boston Red Sox lineup tonight, it reminds me of spring training. Not exactly what we saw in 2004 or 2007, or even 2011. So, the M's have a shot to do something here the next two nights. Plenty of Red Sox regulars on the DL and a ...  

It cost all of $650,000 to build Fenway Park back in 1912. The renovations made in just the last 10 years by the present Red Sox ownership have totaled nearly $285 million – about 19 times the purchase price, adjusted to 2012 dollars. It wasn’t that long ago that the Boston Red Sox, under the former, Yawkey family ownership, talked about building a new ballpark. But almost immediately after the new Red Sox ownership group was approved in 2002...  

Here we go again. That is what Red Sox fans have to be saying to themselves after the Boston Globe reported this morning that a “wedge” is already developing between general manger Ben Cherington and manager Bobby Valentine.

After the discord that enveloped the organization during the fall of 2011, fans had hoped that the new faces brought in to lead the franchise would bury the...

As Adam alluded to yesterday, the Boston Red Sox lineup is practically built as one big inflammatory joke being played on Lone Star Ball. Are the Red Sox trolling us? I'll let you decide. Here's a list of baseball players the Red Sox regularly use in the same lineup these days: Kevin Youkilis - Okay, this guy isn't really provocative to us specifically. But no one actually likes him. Even Bobby Valentine is already weary at the...

It's that time of year again. Red Sox - Yankees, Game 1, in Fenway Park. Last year the Yankees actually managed to provide the Red Sox their first two wins of the series. We can only hope they fare so well in this series, as the 3-4-5 of Boston's rotation meets the 4-5-1 of New York's. For today, that means Clay Buchholz vs. Ivan Nova. While Buchholz hasn't had a good complete outing yet, the last six innings of his last start were actually...  

After three straight losses, the Red Sox will go looking for a win against the Yankees tonight in JetBlue Park.
