With the Major League Baseball All-Star break almost coming to an end, let’s take a look at the baseball power rankings prior to the start of the second half of the season. Here’s a look at the best of the … More
Remember that post we did the other day about former Boston Red Sox Grounder King Bill Buckner‘s return to Fenway Park, and then the follow-up about him being verklempt and all? Mark Jabo of Biz Levity included such a great … More
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times. It’s great to be a New England sports fan. Not only did the Red Sox win their Opening Day game in Japan, but roller derby is expanding in the traitor … More
Blink and you’ll miss it: a one-man triple play. As we scour the spring training reports and can’t wait for the Red Sox to dominate in 2008 and make the Yankees look like fools prepare for the upcoming baseball season, we thought this 2007 … More
Red Sox talent scout Jesse Levis is apparently a hands-on kind of guy when scoping out prospects. Unfortunately, the “prospects” were poolside teenage girls, and the “hands-on” part is, um, to be taken very, very literally. Oh yes, it’s what … More

MLB players do more than just polish up their ping-pong skills in the off-season. Red Sox relief pitcher Hideki Okajima is developing a new “secret” pitch. There’s a good chance you’ll never guess the name—or forget it. Get ready for … More
Take note, readers. You’re about to witness a Red Sox fan praising Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees. The Yanks’ shortstop-loving El Capitan gets a thumbs up from us because he supports blood testing in MLB players for banned substances. Better yet, … More
Doctor’s orders: Curt Schilling needs shoulder surgery. The Red Sox: Rehab will do the trick. Chances are the doc knows what works and what doesn’t. So why is the pitcher going against an informed medical opinion? Schilling says he has “no choice” … More
. . . at least until the All-Star break, that is. The 41-year-old Red Sox pitcher has a partial tear in his rotator cuff. Schilling is not having surgery but will work on rehabbing the shoulder for now. The buzz in Beantown … More
Have you hummed the Jeopardy theme songs several thousand times to count the hours “answer” posted yesterday? (Since it lasts 30 seconds, you could keep time this way if you were stranded on a desert island without a watch. Keep this … More
