      According to the Red Sox website: Jason Varitek has filed for free agency this week. He may be wanting a leg up in what's probably going to be a disappointing negotiations session.

      5 years ago, I was inconsolable and heartbroken when the Red Sox lost game 7 to the Skanks.

      Red Sox Beat Rays 4-2 ALCS Tied at 3-3
      To say that the Boston Red Sox over the last few years have had a flair for the dramatic over the last few seasons, would just be stating the obvious. For some bizarre reason they play their best baseball in the ALCS, once their collective backs are against the wall. They of course came back in the ALCS in 2004 against the New York Yankees after falling behind 3-0 on the way to their first World S

      Red Sox 8, Rangers 4: A much quieter win…
      Jon Lester, once again, brings a calm and (almost) drama free win to the Sox, after Tuesday night’s craziness…Going 7.1 innings, he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits (including 1 homer) while walking 1 and striking out 6. He threw 108 pitches, 76 for strikes in the outing. Unfortunately, Mike Timlin (like [...]

      Red Sox 19, Rangers 17: 36 Runs…
      One would think that 10 runs in the 1st inning (including not 1, but TWO 3-run shots from David Ortiz) would be enough of a cushion for knuckleballer Charlie Zink… Think again: Charlie gave up 8 runs in 4.1 IP, while walking 1 and striking out 1, throwing 85 pitches, 56 for strikes… One [...]

      Impartiality Does Not Exist; Manny Departs Out Of Red Sox Nation
      It looks like MLB has laid down the law for the near-beanball activity at Yankee Stadium and it's not good for the Orioles. Fair, or not fair, Daniel's lack control and emotion may seem to have caught with him.It doesn't matter who you are -- if you're a repeat offender, whether throwing at someone was intentional or not -- you're going to most likely suffer.

According to MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox has traded slugger Manny Ramirez (as he requested) to the LA Dodgers for left fielder Jason Bay from the Pirates in a three-team deal.Yesterday and then earlier this morning was the first

      I still don’t think it’s going to happen. Manny Ramirez can complain to ESPNDeportes, Fox Sports, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sportsline, Bleacher Report, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN8 “the Ocho” for all the Red Sox care. If they can’t get good value for Manny, they’re not going to trade him. And why should they? For all the ridiculousness, he’s still hitting home-runs, driving runners in, an
