It was definitely worth watching the Boston Red Sox demoralize the Tampa Bay Rays and essentially keep them out of the playoff hunt earlier this week. It’s also been fun watching Jose Iglesias improve at the plate – even though he can’t bunt for shit.  But the other day, it finally hit me...

After going 1-5 on the last week, the Boston Red Sox are at the bottom of the American League East – two games behind the lowly Blue Jays.

BoSox Weekly Wrap-Up With The Die Hard: August 27th – September 2nd

Well, it’s come to that point in the season.  The 2012 Boston Red Sox are where the Tampa Bay Devil Rays used to hide in the early 2000s – at the bottom of the American League East, looking up at greatness.  It’s over. Yeah, I finally said that, but it’s now finally a sure thing. ...

WTF just happened?  Well: Bye-bye A-Gon, Crawford and Beckett (you bum) – for the sake of our near future as fans of the Boston Red Sox, this team has finally made a commitment to going young. The core of the team now lies within a handful of sub-30 year olds in Dustin Pedroia, Will...

BoSox Weekly Wrap-Up With The Die Hard: August 13th - August 19th

Things can’t get much worse than they already are for the 2012 Boston Red Sox.  Amongst the worst are girly little text messaging scandals, covered up team meetings, and lackluster starting pitching performances (for the most part) that are driving this team further and further into the...
