One of the best Sox-related blogs , 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...
Dan Barbarisi today sketches the fundamental problem with the Sox' attempt to retain Jason Varitek: Tek (and Scott Boras) want way too much money. It's just coincidence, but some of the potential replacements -- Jarrod "Salty" Saltalamacchia...
What better way to start the New Year than with a new cable station dedicated 24/7 to baseball? Hell, the debut this evening of the MLB Network even signifies the return of Hazel Mae. Sounds good. During the run-up in recent weeks, MLB Network has been...
. . . There's no truth to the rumor that the New York Times is putting its stake in the Red Sox up for grabs on StubHub .
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...
(With apologies to Kevin Phillips ) My old friend Stefan Fatsis was on the money when he recently wrote: As long as sports have been played for money, someone has complained about how much of it the players receive. “Salaries must come down or the interest...
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...
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...
