Hanley Ramirez Hit A Ball At The Sky Gods Yesterday
Here’s something you probably don’t need to know about the solo home run that Hanley Ramirez hit yesterday, but I’m going to tell it to you you anyway: Ramirez’s shot got higher off the ground than any homer since at least 2006....
Chop Up These Pablo Sandoval Takes And Snort Them
Pablo Sandoval’s Instagram scandal has surfaced, punishment has been dealt—though MLB may also fine him—and now, the takes are here. How can Sandoval using Instagram while taking a dump be tied into bigger issues with the last-place Red Sox? Can the “chicken and beer” brouhaha be referenced?...
Pablo Sandoval Fesses Up To Using Instagram In Bathroom During Game
Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval will be benched after copping to liking photos of a woman on Instagram during Wednesday night’s game. Sandoval said he was in the bathroom when he checked the app....
Sun Wreaks Havoc On Blue Jays-Red Sox Game
The last-place Red Sox don’t need outside forces to help them lose, because they can handle it all on their own, but the sun ruined their composure anyway in Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays. Dustin Pedroia lost a pop fly in the fourth, and four Red Sox combined for another botched out in the fif...

Fan At Red Sox Game Hit By Broken Bat, Stretchered Off [Updates]
A woman at tonight’s Athletics-Red Sox game left on a stretcher when she was reportedly hit in the face with a bat shard during Brett Lawrie’s plate appearance in the second inning. The game was delayed so medical staff could tend to her....
A Post-Nuke Fenway Park Is In <i>Fallout 4</i>
Vidyagame folks are very excited about the Fallout 4 trailer released today. I don’t really care, but I do enjoy the idea of a lovingly rendered post-annihilation Boston. ...
Prince Fielder Foul Ball Leaves Woman Covered In Nacho Cheese
This happened during yesterday’s game between the Red Sox and Rangers, and it is further proof that hot dogs should always be the food of choice at baseball games....
Red Sox Broadcast Airs Video Of Metrodome Implosion That Never Happened
Yesterday’s NESN broadcast of the Red Sox-Twins game featured a mid-game interlude of the announcers discussing their memories of the dear, departed Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It also featured video of the Metrodome being imploded—something that never happened....
Mookie Betts Steals Two Bases In One Play
Red Sox speedster Mookie Betts is quickly earning a reputation as MLB’s walking highlight reel, and he didn’t take long to prove it today against the Nationals as the Boston centerfielder walked, then stole second and third in the same play....
David Ortiz Greets Jacoby Ellsbury: "Hey, Rich Bitch"
David Ortiz took a second to mess with a couple of his former teammates, as the Yankees clobbered the Red Sox last night. Big Papi wiggled his fingers at Stephen Drew and called out to Jacoby Ellsbury with a “Hey, rich bitch!”—likely a reference to the 7-year, $153 million contract that lured Ellsb...
11 Things Longer Than Last Night's Sox-Yanks Game But That Felt Shorter
Last night’s offensively-, technologically-, and spermatozoaically-deficient 19-inning Red Sox-Yankees game officially clocked in at 6:49, but in reality the broadcast with festivities, anthems, et cetera lasted around seven hours. For viewers, though, the slogging despair of watching the longest R...
Jonathan Papelbon Talks Horses And Dick-Sucking Holes
Whenever the Red Sox and Phillies play, someone sticks a recorder in Jonathan Papelbon’s face and uses his thoughts on both teams as an angle to get through the series. (Shane Victorino just isn’t as brash.) Before Wednesday’s game, the Phillies closer was direct to the Boston Globe about his conne...
Mike Napoli Mashes Broken Bat Homer
Mike Napoli broke his bat on this swing, and still belted the ball into the upper reaches of Fenway South during a spring training game tonight. This isn't one of those "you notice there is a crack in the bat afterwards" broken bat homers either; this is the real, impressive deal. Those are some p...
Rusney Castillo Has Some Nifty Hair
Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo showed up to today's spring-training practice with some elaborate hair. He's going to look so much faster when he runs now....
Pablo Sandoval Remains Pablo-Sandoval-Shaped
This photo comes from Boston.com's Steve Silva, and shows new Red Sox third baseman (signed through 2019) Pablo Sandoval on his first day in camp. OK, so maybe he's a little robusto. He just got $100 million guaranteed. That's not really his problem anymore....
Lou Merloni Resists Attacking Protestors Who Say Black Lives Matter
Former Red Sox infielder and current WEEI yakker Lou Merloni is perhaps best known in Boston for being from Framingham and for being Nomar's friend. But in addition to those two distinctions, he did also manage to utility-guy his way through 423 games over the course of nine seasons in the Big Leagu...
Pedro Martinez Is The Best
Pedro got voted into the Hall of Fame today, so now feels like as good a time as any to relive one of his greatest contributions to baseball history: gripping 72-year-old Don Zimmer by his big-ass head and tossing him face-first into the grass....
