Mark Buehrle held the Boston Red Sox to just four hits and one run over seven plus innings Friday night to keep his team the Chicago White Sox in first place in the AL Central.
Buehrle improved to 9-10 on the year lowering his ERA to 3.94 along the way. While not known for striking out [...]
This is one tough task but I’ve decided to try and fine a reason to like each of the 30 teams in major league baseball. Now some were easier to find then others and while some will disagree for the reasoning I’ve done my best I think.
I hope to continue this series by creating a [...]
I’ll go ahead and throw out the hard fact that I did not make $40,000 dollars last year. I’ll probably not make that much this year either. However I recently learned today that players on the Oakland A’s and the Boston Red Sox are receiving a $40,000 dollar appearance bonus for showing up in Japan.
You [...]
Joe Thurston comes to Red Sox camp like the rest of the non roster invitees the team signed. He knows he has no chance of making the team yet has benefitted by getting a wikipedia page decked with useless facts about his career by some diehard Sox fan.

When I awoke this morning I knew the Boston Red Sox had won the World Series but like most other people I was more interested in hearing what the New York Yankees were doing.
I turned on the radio for a short drive to the 1/4 mile track and in the sport briefs I heard a [...]
I tried to withstand it. Really I did.
Tonight Carrie had a class to attend and rather then driving home and coming back, wasting gas in order to be home for an hour, I stayed in the car and waited. I turned on the local sports radio channel as usual and prepared myself to be annoyed [...]
With respect to the Colorado Rockies and their crazy 21-of-22 wins I don’t see how anyone is going to stop this Boston Red Sox team. The Rockies are pretty much bringing one starter into this battle and in that start he will undoubtly get squashed by the beast that is Josh Beckett.
Ubaldo Jimenez, a rookie [...]
