It's Pretty Messed Up That The Red Sox Might Be Shedding Payroll
The championship window is rarely open as long as you’d like or expect it to be—just ask the 2014 Red Sox. And the current defending World Series champs can see it coming. In the next two to three years, Boston is going to have to worry about the following players hitting the open market: Chris Sale...
Red Sox Will Visit White House
Because this is now a legitimate question after every championship, it was news Monday night when the Boston Red Sox announced they have accepted an invitation to visit President Trump at the White House. When it is and who will attend are still up in the air—J.D. Martinez must be psyched, but you c...
Everyone's Mad At Bill James For Being An Old Dummy
Bill James, father of sabermetrics, consultant for the Boston Red Sox, and guy who routinely shares the sort of opinions that get him publicly clowned by his daughter, unleashed a doozie last night....
Hail Of Beer Cans At Red Sox Parade Injured One Fan, Got Another Arrested, And Damaged The World Series Trophy
Victory parades are one of the few times when a person can get away with drinking in public without getting arrested or making their friends concerned. It’s helpful if you’re famous, too. As the Boston Red Sox made their way along the parade route today, overeager fans who were willing to share thei...
Red Sox Manager Alex Cora At Victory Parade: "We Scored 16 At Yankee Stadium, Suck On It"
The Red Sox are holding their championship parade today, and manager Alex Cora had a message for anyone who thought the team was in trouble after dropping Game 2 of the ALDS to the Yankees:...
Red Sox Fans Worship Tom Brady Shirt To Celebrate World Series Win
These people make me sick....
David Price Has Earned Some Peace And Quiet
Every player’s happy to win a championship, but David Price might be the happiest of them all. He’s had to put up with a lot of shit this season. After he pitched seven-plus innings of one-run ball as the Red Sox won Game 5 and closed out the World Series, those criticisms have been practically all ...
Activists Display Huge "Trans People Deserve To Live" Banner During World Series
During Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night in Los Angeles, a group in the left field stands unfurled a massive banner that said, “Trans People Deserve To Live.” The website Into reports that the banner was snuck into the stadium by the TransLatin@ Coalition, an organization based in L.A. tha...
Steve Pearce Had A Long, Strange Trip To World Series MVP
Steve Pearce is used to having only a short time to make an impression. He is a power-hitting first baseman who hits lefties, so he spends a lot of time on the bench, and a lot of time moving around the majors. The 35-year-old has played for eight different organizations in his 12 seasons, including...
The Goddamn Red Sox Won The Goddamn World Series
The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Game 5 of the World Series, making them world champions for the fourth time this century. This is piss....
Dave Roberts Helped The Red Sox Grind The Dodgers Into Dust
After walking Xander Bogaerts and striking out Eduardo Núñez in the top of the seventh, Dodgers starter Rich Hill was pulled by manager Dave Roberts from an outing in which he was tossing a shutout and had allowed just one hit. L.A.’s bullpen then turned a four-run lead into a 9-6 loss, and a World ...
Fucking Max Muncy Won The Longest World Series Game In History
It’s really tough to feel sympathy for goddamn Red Sox fans, but man. Staying up until 3:30 a.m. eastern time only to see minor-league journeyman and Oakland A’s flameout Max Muncy steal a game Boston should have had five innings earlier has got to be rooooooough....
The Only Thing Left To Do Is Yell About The World Series
This can be said in variously Ken Burns-ian tones and with varying degrees of reverence, but October baseball really is different. There is less of it, for one thing, and the few games that remain are more meaningful and more tense, but also everyone is cold and tired and stressed out. In that sense...
The Red Sox Are Rolling And It Blows
The Red Sox took a 2–0 lead in the World Series Wednesday night. It is befitting of this hell universe that another Boston sports team is on the cusp of winning a championship....

Red Sox Invite 2004 Players To Throw Out Game 2 First Pitch, Except One Guy For Some Reason [Update]
At Game 2 of the World Series tonight, the Red Sox will have players from the 2004 championship team throw out the first pitch. All of Boston’s faves will be there: David Ortiz! Jason Varitek! Even Alan Embree found some time in his busy schedule to make it. One guy who will not be there, because he...
Alex Cora Can Do No Wrong
Through four innings of Game 1 of the World Series, the Dodgers and Red Sox were in basically the same spot. Boston had a 3-2 lead, but neither team’s ace had taken control of the proceedings, and their impending exits foreshadowed a wide-open final five innings. In the fifth inning, both managers s...
Chris Sale Does Not Have A Belly Button Ring, But It'd Be A Lot Cooler If He Did
Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale was forced him to miss his Game 5 start of the ALCS after he was hospitalized with an unspecified stomach illness. On Saturday, he used his deadpan personality to convince reporters that his health condition was something from a spring-break trip gone wrong:...
David Price Tells Alex Bregman To "Post That" After Getting Blown Away By Nathan Eovaldi
The ALCS was largely beef-free, outside of the front offices. Certainly no player-on-player enmity, like we’re seeing in the senior circuit. The closest thing was Houston’s Alex Bregman posting before Game 3 an Instagram story showing that night’s starter Nathan Eovaldi surrendering back-to-back-to-...
The Red Sox's Superiority Starts At The Bottom
The World Series starts Tuesday night, and it’ll start at Fenway Park for the simple reason that the Red Sox are the best. They were the best team in the regular season—108 wins, fewer than it probably could have been had they not been allowed to take their foot off the gas after essentially clinchi...
David Price Finally Broke His Postseason Hex
Unfair or deserved, David Price has a reputation for pitching like butt in the playoffs. Before tonight, he was winless in 11 postseason starts since 2011. In Game 2 against the Astros, he had to settle for the “team win” when he was pulled after 4.2 innings and didn’t factor into the decision for B...
