Red Sox Hot Stove Season
After last year’s disappointment, I guess it is not too surprising the Red Sox have had such an active off-season. My biggest fear after 2012 was that the Sox would aggressively overpay for free agents after the Dodgers trade out … Continue reading

Red Sox Hot Stove
With the exception of the postseason, hot stove is my favorite time of the baseball year. This off-season is particularly important to the Red Sox, after the Valentine debacle and the great salary purge. This year has a very weak … Continue reading
Goodbye to Terry Francona
I’ve been meaning to find time to write this for a few days. Here goes in enthymematic form: The collapse was historic. A historic collapse requires blame. Blaming is often not a rational process. Terry Francona is willing to accept … Continue reading
Adrian Beltre? Seriously?
Ok, I have no idea what Theo Epstein hopes to accomplish in 2010. Because Adrian Beltre just screams “one-year-wonder-during-the-hight-of-the-steriods-era.” I know its only a one-year deal, and that the Red Sox are angling to trade for Adrian Gonzalez during this … Continue reading

As a Boston/New England sports fan, the first decade of the new century went rather well. Perhaps too well. Our cultural ethos is constructed around losing and misfortune. Might it be that things are returning to normal? This was an … Continue reading

Idiots no more
A few weeks back the Sox played the Yanks and Manny decided last minute that his knee was too sore to play. The look on Francona’s face said everything: the proverbial straw had finally broke the organization’s back. When the … Continue reading

Sports Things that Bug Me
These things have been bugging me the past few weeks: 1. Kevin Garnett Shooting Jump Shots. Before I saw him play regularly, I used to think that Garnett was a better player than Tim Duncan. My argument went, if you … Continue reading
Joe, They Don’t Deserve Ya
The Red Sox are down 3-2, with an aged warrior and a dead-armed, quasi-rookie pitching the next two games, and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier as a baseball fan. Well, o.k., there was 2004–that was sweet. But this … Continue reading
