Red Sox (

One of the best Sox-related blogs , bar none, and not just because of today's excellent Teixeira takedown .
Much of the reporting immediately after word broke that Mark Teixeira would sign with the Yankees treated this development as a hard-to-figure and unexplainable mystery. In fact, there were many clues -- such as how Teixeira grew up revering Don Mattingly...
There were points this year when it felt as if the Sox needed another big bat in their lineup. Considering that, Mark Teixeria seemed like a perfect target, the kind of player around whom the offense could be built for years to come. Now, of course, he's...
Washington Times via Dirt Dogs : A major league baseball source has told The Washington Times' Thom Loverro that there will be an announcement today regarding the future of free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira. While the source declined to discuss...
Red Sox tickets seem recession-proof , so perhaps it's no surprise that the august New York Times Company may be considering selling its 17 percent share (h/t Romo ) in the Old Town Team (a topic whose implications I previously examined here ). CHICAGO...
N4N was among those selected for an invite to the Sox' first "Great Fenway Yard Sale," so I made the familiar trek to the old ballyard on Sunday. Basically, for $30, you got the chance to take away two bricks from 96-year-old Fenway and...
Word comes that C.C. Sabathia is poised to join the Evils. Meanwhile, Mike Lowell remains one of the great class acts in baseball, but landing Mark Teixeira would solidify the Sox offense for years to come, whereas Lowell is approaching the end of his...
Good news for Sox fans in what has been a slow start to the hot stove season: Dustin Pedroia , who has fast become one of the top faces of franchise, has signed a six-year extension. Dustin Pedroia, the team's popular and remarkably productive second...
OK, I'll try to make this my last baseball-related post today. It is November, and some of us are getting twitchy in withdrawal. Anyway, Evan Grant , a sportswriter at Belo's Dallas Morning News, left Dustin Pedroia entirely off his MVP ballot...
N4N was in Fort Meyers for spring training 2006, when Coco Crisp was tearing it up, seemingly ready to deliver on the promise that made the Sox acquire him. He got hurt a short time later and spent a long time coming back. Crisp regained more self-respect...
Our MVP : BOSTON -- Just call him Mr. November. Or better yet, refer to Dustin Pedroia as the Most Valuable Player of the American League. The second baseman of the Boston Red Sox continued his rapid burst into the national spotlight on Tuesday, when...
Perhaps this would have worked out differently had the Sox made it farther into the post-season, but the team with the highest-priced tickets in baseball has announced a freeze on cost increaes for "pre-existing seats" and SROs at Fenway for...
You've got to feel for Terry Francona . He generally doesn't get his due, his jaws must be sore from chewing 72 pieces of gum during seven innings of a single ALCS game, and he's set to undergo back surgery in the off-season -- he's not...
Congrats to the Rays , who can be expected to make life in the AL East a lot more competitive over the next few years. Momentum seemed to favor the Sox last night, but Garza simply outpitched Lester. There were no goats, just an ALCS that lived up to...
I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. In 2004, when the Yankees took a lead toward the end of game four of the ALCS, I shut the TV and went to bed, because I didn't want to see the pinstripes celebrating in our place. We know how that...
