The Return Of El Guapo
The Nashua Pride minor league baseball team is renowned, like any great minor league team, for its desperate promotions to bring people to the ballpark.

The Celtics Fan Suicide Watch
So the Celtics have lost 18 in a row, and if they don't sneak out a win at home Wednesday against the Bucks, a West Coast road trip might very well inspire them to break the record for all-time losing streaks. We thought we'd check in and see how the Celtics blogs are holding up....

Prepare Thyself For Dice K
Red Sox fans, take heart: You can now see Dice K himself, Daisuke Matsuzaka, pitching in a Red Sox uniform, kind of. In this ad for Asahi beer — we love that people can physically drink the beer in Japanese commercials — Dice K dons the duds and even throws a pitch, albeit with some less-than-convin...

That's All We Need: ANOTHER Blowhard In DC

The accompanying photo you find here is of then 110-year-old Red Sox fan Kathryn Gemme doing her best to investigate the World Series trophy after the Sox won in '04 to determine whether it's actually the trophy. Or the bathroom. Or the dishwashing machine. Or President Taft....
Meet The Ms. Dice-K
As we begin to learn a bit more about Daisuke Matsuzaka, the newest sliver of heroin to the junkies of Red Sox Nation, we, as we all tend to do, take a look at his homelife. Specifically, his wife, Tomoyo Shibata, who, according to the outstanding research of UmpBump, has caused a stir in Japan for ...
The Matsuzaka Has Landed
Well, the world of Red Sox fans can breathe a sliver easier this morning; Daisuke Matsuzaka has signed his (reasonable, really) deal and is now officially a target of the Boston faithful. We find it amusing that one of the first things he had to do when his plane landed was undergo a physical; tur...
D-Mat, D-Mat, Come Home To Us, D-Mat!
Because the land of Red Sox fans is an intense one, one that we approach gingerly and with palms spread wide open, we don't want any trouble here, we feel like we should check in on the Daisuke Matsuzaka business.

(They did watch last season, right?) Remember, three years a...
The Madness Of Matsuzaka
As Baseball Prospectus' Joe Sheehan has been warning us, and Yahoo's Jeff Passan echoes, the baseball contracts you're going to see this winter will blow your mind; teams are ready to spend like crazy.
