Brian MacPherson or the Projo , one of our favorite Red Sox bloggers, has been tweeting about "The legend of Jed Lowrie" and the hash tag #legendofjedlowrie has become a twitter sensation among Sox fans. Similar to the Chuck Norris-like tweets that Sox fans were tweeting to describe Adrian Beltre's resurgence in 2010, Lowrie's hot bat (.320 since returning from mono last season) has inspired Brian and other Sox fans tweet about the "Return of Jed." Being a big fan of Lowrie, I decided to...Read Full Story

As far as #Legend's go, I think the #LegendofSamFuld has more staying power. One, it comes from a place of true fandom for a player that is the epitome of gritty. And two, it's the original. Unfortunately the folks driving the #LegendofJedLowrie have taken to attacks against Fuld rather than simply promoting all that they [...] View and VoteRead Full Story

The Red Sox continued their busy week of tinkering around the edges of the team with two related transactions. First,Bostonsent talented young infielder Jed Lowrie and pitcher Kyle Weiland to the Astros for reliever Mark Melancon. Then they replaced Lowrie’s super sub bench position by signing former Twin and Cardinal Nick Punto to a 2 year/$3M contract. The team continues to dodge high price signings and is seeking instead to find value on the trade market, something they have done quite...Read Full Story

As promised, here is the second installment of my predictions from last year around this time. Before Spring Training ends, I will make a whole new list  of wild and crazy projections and you can all get your cyber-rotting fruits and vegetables ready for some throwing. 1. Hanley Ramirez will hit 35 homeruns out of the three hole for the Marlins. Mmm, strike  one as Hanley only slugs 24. 2. Manny will be signed by the Dodgers and whoever signs him in the NL West immediately wins that...Read Full Story

In Red Sox Nation, there is no debate over which position has generated the most frustration in Theo Epstein's tenure as general manager. Shortstop, anyone? After Nomar Garciaparra was traded in 2004, Orlando Cabrera arrived and helped the Sox win a World Series. It seemed like he would be an ideal candidate to man the spot for at least a few years, but Epstein let him walk and brought in Edgar Renteria, who only lasted one season in Boston. Alex Gonzalez posted respectable offensive numbers...Read Full Story

One of the multiple benefits of having two aces in the same rotation is that one can step up when the other is down. Jon Lester did just that today in Chicago. Josh Beckett, Boston's No. 1 starter who takes the mound tomorrow afternoon against the White Sox, has been roughed up in his last four starts. In the first two games of this weekend series, Paul Byrd was smashed for seven runs in 2.1 innings on Friday in a 12-2 loss, and Gavin Floyd blanked the Red Sox yesterday. So Lester's seven...Read Full Story

I am DEAD SERIOUS. If you can go to this , go. Basically, here's the gist.   The Cambridge Center for Adult Education is celebrating America's favorite pastime with a very special lineup of programs and events: HOME RUN IN HARVARD SQUARE. This one-time series of seminars explores the art, science, business and history of the game.   Now, there's a list of people doing these seminars, including Amalie Benjamin and Tom Brady's father. But personally, I'd like to witness the talk on April 29th...Read Full Story
