We’ll see what happens in the World Series, but another opportunity for a historic comeback has come and gone. The 2004 Boston Red Sox remain the only team ever to overcome an 0-3 series deficit in a best-of-seven series in the history of baseball. That’s hopefully a trend that goes on forever, leaving the legendary […]
Is everything in baseball actually about the Red Sox, even when it’s not about the Red Sox? Somehow I feel like the answer is yes. The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers last night to complete a four-game sweep of the NLCS and reach their first World Series since 1982. The first out of […]
Team MVP In the spirit of picking a hitter to win MVP, I guess it’s Willson Contreras. His OPS was the third-highest among qualifiers and was fairly consistent throughout the season. Sonny Gray, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu all deserve shouts too, but Contreras played for most of the season and stayed steady throughout. — […]
This game was moved up an hour from its original starting time and will begin at 7 p.m. CT (5 p.m. in Los Angeles). As you know, only one team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a postseason MLB series. That was the 2004 Red Sox over the Yankees in the […]
We’re going to try something a little bit different today. With Boston out of the playoffs and anniversaries of awesome Red Sox postseason moments popping up on a daily basis during this stretch of the calendar, it got me thinking about some of the greatest games in franchise history. Specifically, I started a little exercise […]

The Phillies put an end to their managerial search when they promoted interim skipper Don Mattingly to the full-time role on Wednesday. They showed interest in ex-Red Sox manager Alex Cora during the process, but he wasn’t the only outside candidate on their radar.

In 2008, the Tampa Bay Rays dropped the first game of the American League Championship Series to the Boston Red Sox.

The Dodgers tend to rile up a lot of emotions in almost every baseball fan. But that might apply to Red Sox fans more than most. That’s primarily due to two people, both of whom happen to be two of the most important people in Red Sox history: Mookie Betts and Dave Roberts. Is Dave […]
Twins third baseman Brooks Lee was named a finalist for a Gold Glove award at third base. The positional specification is important since Lee opened the season as Minnesota’s starting shortstop. Lee is unlikely to bring the hardware home, as the Red Sox’s Caleb Durbin lapped the field in most defensive metrics at third base, […]

Stephen Stills once sang, “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.” Dave Dombrowski and the Philadelphia Phillies are heeding that advice. The Phillies pursued former Red Sox manager Alex Cora to take over as the team’s manager, both early in the 2026 season, after they fired Rob Thomson, […]

Dear diary, it was painful to see the Tampa Bay Rays celebrate at Yankee Stadium. This series loss, three games in a row, including the clincher at Yankee Stadium, marked a puzzling low point for the team. This series loss followed a two-game whitewashing of the Boston Red Sox. People in baseball used to fear […]

Proximal interphalangeal joint reconstruction is a pretty intimidating way to say that Caleb Durbin finally got his pinky fixed. Durbin initially dislocated his pinkie way back on June 24 — literally the day before the Red Sox’ 15-game winning streak began — but the injury didn’t really effect his play and he obviously remained on […]
