Mike Napoli Says He Was Ejected For Not Picking Up His Bat
Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli has had a terrible season, hitting just .203 with 10 home runs and 70 strikeouts. It’s the kind of season that can lead to angry outbursts after fairly unremarkable strikeouts in the second inning:...
Teenaged Red Sox Fan Somehow Not Garbage
Three things that are shit: Teenagers, Red Sox fans, and the city of Boston, a trash town that belongs in the dumpster. So I’m not entirely sure what to make of this:...
The Sky Over Fenway Last Night Was Incredible
We had some crazy weather on the East Coast last night, with massive rainstorms and tornado warnings popping up all over the place. On the plus side, the bad weather helped create an amazing night’s sky over Fenway Park....
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...
Nobody Can Touch Chris Sale Right Now
Remember yesterday, when we were talking about how incredible Rays ace and kiss-denier Chris Archer has been over his last three starts, during which he literally made baseball history? Well, it’s time to give Chris Sale some love, too, because he’s been just as dominant as Archer has during his las...

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. ...

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....
Who Needs Hitting When You've Got Corey Kluber And Chris Sale?
Chris Sale and Corey Kluber pitched against each other last night, and they each turned in performances that lived up to the Best Pitching Matchup of The Week billing that games featuring two great starters always get but often fail to live up to. In fact, Kluber vs. Sale represented everything that...
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...
Adam Eaton's Diving Catch Will Be Hard To Top
We’re not even a week into the 2015 baseball season, but I feel confident saying that it’s going to be very hard for any outfielder to make a catch this season that will top what White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton did today. ...
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...
