David Ortiz Wants A Standing Ovation From Yankees Fans
It’s David Ortiz’s final season, and barring a Red Sox playoff appearance, his final road games will be at Yankee Stadium the last week of September. Given how much of Ortiz’s career and reputation is caught up in the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, and how his heroics in the 2004 ALCS turned around the fr...
Giants Broadcaster Says Pablo Sandoval Has An Eating Disorder
Pablo Sandoval’s big spring training belly remains the topic of conversation outside Red Sox camp, even if no one actually in camp admits they care all that much. But while there are lots of angles you could take on Sandoval’s fitness and commitment, here’s at least one you probably shouldn’t....

Red Sox Fan Pleads With Giants Manager Bruce Bochy To Take Back Pablo Sandoval
Pablo Sandoval’s first season with the Red Sox was a horrid disaster. He accrued a career-low .292 on-base percentage, got in trouble for using Instagram in a bathroom during a game, swung at practically anything, and just couldn’t run the bases by the end of the season, forcing the team to shut him...
Mookie Betts Drove A Golf Cart Right Into A Lake
Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts is an adept baseball man, as well as an extremely skilled bowler. What he’s not good at is driving a golf cart, apparently. He and Travis Shaw went golfing this afternoon, and they got a bit more amphibious than they wanted to....

Should The Blue Jays Have Tried To Keep David Price?
The Red Sox signed David Price to a massive seven-year, $217 million contract. We soon learned that the Cardinals were in second, more than $30 million behind.

Is David Price Worth It?
It feels like the old days, with the Red Sox dropping a knee-buckling amount of money to snatch a superstar in his prime. So much for Boston’s brief experiment with (relative) fiscal restraint. But consecutive last-place finishes have a way of trying an owner’s patience, and an elite, durable lefty ...

The Nationals' 2016 Calendar Has Fenway Park On The Cover
This picture is clearly Fenway Park, right? It may be covered in a giant American flag, but the big-ass wall in left field is a pretty big hint. It apparently was not a big enough hint for the company in charge of printing the Washington Nationals’ 2016 calendar:...

The Red Sox Saluted Don Orsillo After His Final Game
Boston’s last game was also the last Red Sox game for Don Orsillo after 15 years of calling play-by-play. Orsillo’s exit from NESN wasn’t handled well, but the team did its part, with a video tribute at last week’s home finale and, after the final out of yesterday’s game in Cleveland, a cozy goodbye...
Review: Curt Schilling's Video Game Company Had Many Flaws Before Taking Rhode Island's $75 Million
The Rhode Island Superior Court dropped a whole mess of documents today regarding the agreement between the state and 38 Studios, Curt Schilling’s video game company that went bankrupt in 2012 after developing only one single-player game, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. There’s a lot to sift through,...

Jackass Fights With Adrian Gonzalez For Foul Ball
So here’s some dickhead wearing a Red Sox cap fighting with Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a foul ball. Gonzalez won, but he was obviously pretty pissed off. And why shouldn’t he be? The Dodgers aren’t even playing the Red Sox!...

Rob Manfred Kicks Shoeless Joe Jackson Back Into The Grave
The appointment of a new MLB commissioner is always a good time for certain special interest groups—spitball enthusiasts, Montreal baseball fans, Pete Rose truthers—to begin seeking favors. “Maybe,” they think, “the new commissioner will be more reasonable than the last!” This is presumably why the ...
Are The Red Sox Confiscating Signs Supporting Don Orsillo Or Not?
