I can't believe they pay me to show up to these things.What just happened in Boston was unreal. It was like church! Stand, sit, stand sit, pray, stand, pray. Unlike church, there were 36000 people there screaming and high fiving like insane people. Well peace be with you I guess.The strangest part   more...

Appearing on that first baseball card is the dream of every ballplayer from the time they start whacking at balls on a tee. Unfortunately, most rookie cards don't stand the test of time-- and the Red Sox are no exception.

Thankfully, for everyone, the Sox players were not stripping off clothes at a club -- it's much better (worse?) than that. I've got photos and FULL VIDEO of Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell and Alex Cora, in varying states of undress, competing in a Dancing With the Stars-style   more...

How better to kick off my weekend duties at TBL than by reminiscing about a game (which the Sox lost 11-0) I'm sure we'd all rather forget?Up to this point, Jon Lester's really made a case to be team MVP for the 2008 season. He may not have the most flashy stats and he'll probably never   more...

Your day is not complete until you've read a thorough dissection of the Red Sox fashion choices during their White House visit yesterday. There were enough pinstriped suits to costume an episode of the Sopranos, Bobby Kielty looked like a shop teacher stuck in the '70s, and David Ortiz carried what   more...

Another article from BVTN, this one with a statistical inquiry into how much teams are paying free agents per run they bring to the lineup. Very interesting read...the data table is cool to look at!

Jays' first baseman Lyle Overbay has got himself into a little controversy with Alex Cora. Here's why. Cora was flipped over by Overbay on a double-play that ended the eighth inning of a 5-3 Red Sox's win at the Rogers Centre a week ago tomorrow.

If you get pissed every time a player jogs to first base, then you should read this article. The Baseball Desert has a few quotes from Alex Cora in which he discusses his role with the Sox. If only every guy in the majors thought this way (the calling Francona "Tito" thing withstanding).

Back in March, I made a promise to myself: Exerting patience with Dustin Pedroia would be vital. I expected early struggles and was fully prepared to pace myself with the development of the new second baseman.

Cora's best is always pretty good, but lately his best has been superb. This was the third time he's had a direct hand in winning a game in a 10-day stretch that began with the game-winning triple in Toronto April 19, continued with the game-winning base hit off Mariano Rivera the following night,   more...
