If you’re planning to go down to Fort Myers to catch a few spring training games, you owe it to yourself to head down the Tamiami Trail (Route 41) about 30 minutes south from City of Palms Park to check out Lansdowne Street, what must surely be THE most authentic Red Sox bar in Florida.

Now that we’ve gotten the cliched title out of the way, it’s time to start really, TRULY start thinking about the Boston Red Sox of 2010. Captain Carl greeted us at the gate on the way down to Fort Myers, a reminder of the team I grew up watching and its legacy so very different [...]

The Dice Man Cometh…Again.
September 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Daisuke Matsuzaka, Red Sox
Tomorrow sees the (not particularly) anticipated return of Daisuke Matsuzaka to pitch for the Olde Towne Team. Following his flame out in the spring and subsequent 3 month hiatus the Red Sox have seen their hold on the AL East flag slip away and for a time even the Wild Card seemed like anything but [...]

Welcome to the LaRoche Era
July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Adam LaRoche, Pirates, Red Sox, Trade Deadline
Breaking news out of Pittsburgh is that Adam LaRoche may very well soon be joining the Boston Red Sox as Boston once again makes a trade deadline move with Pittsburgh (LaRoche is their current RBI and HR leader). He is, however, mired in a slump with his average dipping to .247. He is by all [...]

The New York Yankees Will Soon Announce…
April 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · New York Yankees, Red Sox
…that they have signed Frank Catalanotto to a one year deal. If they’re smart. News out of Surprise Arizona today is that the Rangers have given the legendary Red Sox-killer his unconditional release to make way for the legendary Dodger-bust Andruw Jones. If Brian Cashman has the sense God gave the average rosin bag, he’ll [...]

Report From The Fort (Day 1)
March 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Jason Varitek, Jon Lester, Red Sox, Spring Training, WEEI
Ah, yes. It’s that time again. Time for a break from the winter doldrums in New England. I’ve been fortunate enough for the last several years to spend a few days each March in the land of Hooters and bizarre police blotter items to get a sunburn and take in some spring training baseball. I’ve [...]

Tuned in for a portion of the Red Sox/Twins tilt this afternoon. With snow falling steadily outside, it was really great to see signs that our own spring is not that far away. 3 innings of recognizable players and then the inevitable replacement by the Jonathan Van Everys of the world.

First in the tag cloud, last in your heart
February 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Jim Rice, Red Sox
