“Pedroia is a moron.” - Tito 2008-03-03 13:07:04 Did anyone else see that clip of Papelbon and Pedroia from the charity dance thing? And, in related news, did anyone else have trouble sleeping afterwards?
(All jokes aside, and plenty to be made, it’s pretty cool to see team members continuing to do charity work even this early in the season.)

Where’s The Love? 2008-03-01 11:27:04 “Red Sox Nation?” What a bunch of [expletive] that is,” he said in an interview with The New York Times’ Play magazine. “That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see [...]
Tito…. best ever? 2008-03-01 09:48:43 As was reported last week, Sox manager Terry “Tito” Franconca was given a three-year extension worth $12 million, with two option years worth $4 mil a piece. For those of you at home with rusty skills on the abacus, the Sox brass saw fit to sign Tito to a package that could be worth up to [...]
24-0! 2008-02-28 15:11:38 Exhibition games obviously don’t carry a lot of weight (hence the term “exhibition”), but that said, winning is still better than losing. Josh Beckett started and pitched two perfect innings, striking out four of the six batters he faced. Can you imagine what it must be like to be a BC student, showing up, and [...]
Holding pattern 2008-03-10 11:59:59 A week ago, this was the most boring offseason anyone could remember. Same team as last year (for the most part), relatively little drama in spring training. Sure, there was a little competition over who would start in centerfield, and Curt Schilling was being Curt Schilling, and maybe Coco Crisp had a little [...]
‘Belli Bye-Bye…. 2008-03-13 15:05:53 Dougie Fresh is a goner! The Red Sox have released back-up catcher Doug Mirabelli. They will be going into the ‘08 season with Kevin Cash as their back-up, and personal catcher for Tim Wakefield.While this isn’t a surprise to anyone, Doug was a fan favorite and a member of the Red Sox ‘04 and ‘07 [...]
Beckett ruled out for Tokyo series. 2008-03-16 16:14:15 RedSox.com is confirming that Josh Beckett
isn’t taking part in the tour in Japan the Red Sox have to start the 2008 season. Beckett is still coming back from those back spasms that have scratched his past starts.
No brainer. Beckett is way to important to the club to worry about trotting him out over in [...] Read more:Tokyo

The Short Stop Issue. 2008-02-27 16:01:52 The position of short stop for the Red Sox has been a complete revolving door since the departure of Nomar Garciaparra on July 31, 2004. Since that date the Red Sox have had Orlando Cabrera, Pokey Reese, Edgar Renteria, Alex Cora, Alex Gonzalez and Julio Lugo in that position. Along with a ton [...] Read more:Short
Francona, Colon & Spring Training 2008-02-25 17:15:11 As everyone knows by now the Red Sox have come to terms with manager Terry Francona on a three-year extension that includes a two-year club option. Absolutely no brainier. Winning 2 World Series after a 86 year drought will get you that kind of extension. Francona of course has his moments where I wonder what [...] Read more:Colon

Coco and The Captain 2008-03-18 08:08:45 The A’s still like Coco Crisp, but the Red Sox want young catching and/or pitching that the A’s would prefer to keep. Susan Slusser wrote on Saturday that talks between the two clubs had revived. The Cubs are also still interested in bringing Crisp in along with Brian Roberts, although both the deal for Crisp [...] Read more:Captain
Back To Pawtucket. 2008-03-18 05:08:25 Source Rotoworld:
Red Sox optioned RHP Craig Hansen, RHP Lincoln Holdzkom, C George Kottaras and 1B/OF Chris Carter to Triple-A Pawtucket.
The Red Sox may have been hoping for a breakthrough spring from Hansen after last winter’s sleep apnea surgery, but it didn’t happen, as he allowed seven runs and walked six in seven innings. [...]
Sox Make It To Japan 2008-03-20 15:52:53 After more than 15 hours in the air, the Red Sox have found their way to Tokyo. The team was well received at the airport with Daisuke obviously getting the loudest ovation.
A reported by RedSox.com, Boston took 28 players them to Japan

The Red Sox In 2008 2008-03-22 12:18:29 Four days until the Red Sox start the 2008 Major League Baseball season against the Oakland A’s in Japan. 4 days until all the no doubt millions of Red Sox fans start up that annual tradition of scrambling to box scores, fighting with significant others about watching a game, watching insanely boring internet “GameDay” screens.

NL West Preview 2008-03-22 12:16:34 National League West, which looked like this at the end of last season:

* LA Dodgers | 82 | 80 |

NL Central Preview 2008-03-22 12:15:52 The NL Central
is a complete mystery to me. Looking at the division in a historical sense, there are some heavy hitters. I mean, the Reds, Cubs, Pirates, Brewers, Cardinals, and even Astros. Some of the greatest baseball players ever have put on uniforms for those 6 teams. These are all teams that have won, [...] Read more:Preview
NL East Preview 2008-03-22 12:15:06 1. New York Mets: I’m a Red Sox fan. I do not have a “second team”, or anything like that. But there are a few teams I enjoy watching, the Mets are one of those teams. Jose Reyes is probably the most exciting player to watch in all of baseball. His speed and aggression just [...] Read more:Preview
AL Central Preview 2008-03-22 12:13:45 Let us rewind a bit, ten years ago to be exact. The AL Central
was the worst division in the American League. The final standings for that 1998 season went something like this:

AL East Preview 2008-03-22 12:13:09 The AL East is the most followed division in baseball, as well as being the most hated division in all of baseball. In the AL East you have the Yankees and the Red Sox. The teams with the biggest fan bases. You have the whole truth of an “east coast bias”, and you have a [...] Read more:Preview
Starting Over. 2008-03-22 11:48:10 My blog software went shitty on me, so I had to scrap it and start all over. I apologize. I’ll be reposting some previous articles and stuff like that.
Game 1, 3/25/08: BOS @ OAK 2008-03-25 18:31:01 This morning the Red Sox started the 2008 Major League Baseball season off in Japan. A 6:05AM EST start made it all but impossible for me to watch the game as I leave for work at 5:45AM, but that’s besides the point. Daisuke Matsuzaka was pointed to to fittingly open the season in [...]
MAR 25-26: BOS @ OAK 2008-03-24 08:15:38 The season is here… well sort off. 2 games worth at least. The Red Sox will of course be opening the 2008 season in about 21 hours in Japan against the Oakland A’s. Here’s how everything is setting up:
3/25/08, 6:05ET (AM), ESPN2:
BOS: D. Matsuzaka (0-0, 0.00)
OAK: J. Blanton (0-0, 0.00)
3/26/08, 6:05ET (AM), [...]

Game 2, 3/26/08: BOS @ OAK 2008-03-26 16:08:36 Baseball is a funny game, and being a baseball fan is just as funny. It’s the second game of the season. Hell it’s not even April yet, and still I found myself a yelling at my computer screen while watching the Red Sox game today. 160 games still to play, but still [...]
Red Sox + Dodgers + LA Coliseum = 115,300 People 2008-03-30 13:54:26 I got to see the Coliseum game last night on NESN between the Dodgers
and Red Sox
and I have to say that it was entertaining. A complete joke, but entertaining non the less. From the distance from home to left being 201 feet, to 5 man infields, cheap home runs, it’s was all pretty [...]
