Lenny DiNardo is a professional baseball player. He's a left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and wears number 55. He is managed by pitching manager Dave Wallace.
Watching the Red Sox fall short of the World Series, or endure even a three-game losing skid during the regular season, is hard for me to stomach. My expectations are higher now that Boston has won two World Series titles in the last five years. Still, as any longtime Red Sox fan will tell you, it is much more rewarding to follow this ballclub now than it was before the current ownership group, front office and on-field management arrived. When Jed Lowrie grounded into the force out that... Read Full Story
With Rocco Baldelli on the 15-day disabled list, the Red Sox needed someone who can serve as a backup to Jacoby Ellsbury in center field. J.D. Drew can play the position, but he is better suited for right field. Thus the reason Jonathan Van Every will likely be summoned from Pawtucket and Chris Carter will be sent down, according to the Providence Journal. The 29-year-old Van Every, who was 4-for-17 (.235) in 11 games with the Red Sox last season, is proficient in center field and left field... Read Full Story

Proposition 50: Unsung Hero Recognition Act
Summary
The act is done more as a matter of courtesy than one pertinent to personnel or next year's roster. Mike Timlin will be recognized for all his work on the Red Sox over his six seasons. This is not actually on the ballot this year, but more of a hypothetical. Fiscal impact: None. Time commitment: One pre-game ceremony. It will take away from one chimpanzee slated to throw out the first pitch.

The Red Sox could not hit Rich Harden this afternoon, so they did the next best thing. They elevated the Oakland ace's pitch count and forced Bob Geren to call upon his bullpen. The result was a 5-0 victory for Boston, which departed Oakland with a 3-1 record after a daunting four-game series with the A's that started in Japan, was interrupted by three exhibitions in Los Angeles and was completed at McAfee Coliseum.
Unlike last Wednesday, when Jon Lester was erratic while allowing four... Read Full Story
For fans in New England and
across the globe, the Boston Red Sox are not just a team, and baseball is not

he was raised a Red Sox fan and attended games at Fenway Park throughout his childhood. Today, the Dartmouth
College graduate has two
sons and three daughters nine and younger, and he is sharing his... Read Full Story

Hank Steinbrenner says the Red Sox have a nation but the Yankees have a universe. Of course, little that exits the mouth of Son of Boss can be taken seriously, but in case someone does believe him, articles like this one prove that Red Sox Nation extends around the globe:

Do you remember all the commercials last year about how Jordan's ran a promotion where folks would get their furniture for free if the Red Sox won? When the Boston Red Sox won the 2007 World Series, over 24,000 customers of Jordan's Furniture won free furniture in the company's "Monster Deal" promotion. Well, Jordan's is doing it again. But this time with more constraints. This time, the Red Sox have to sweep the world series and win the first four games in order for you to get free furniture... Read Full Story
Like a child anxiously anticipating Santa Claus to slide down the chimney with his bag of gifts on Christmas morning, I kept waiting for a Red Sox rally last night in Oakland. With soft-tossing lefty Lenny DiNardo on the mound,... Read Full Story
