Driving the minor league complex this morning to catch some interviews before the players head to the links for their annual charity golf tournament and the Metro’s Joe Haggerty pointed out a tempting option for the afternoon … the local planetarium was advertising the chance to see venomous snakes and an albino raccoon. It begged [...]
A synopsis from Terry Francona, Theo Epstein and Curt Schilling regarding the announcement that the the pitcher won’t be talking contract until after the season:
- Schilling obviously disappointed. Met with Theo 3 minutes yesterday, during which Epstein asked if he wanted “the short story, or the long story.”
- Schilling said he is adamant about not [...]
This just in … Curt Schilling got his throwing in, including some batting practice. When he was walking off, towards the clubhouse one fan yelled, “Re-sign him!” The comment made Schilling, yes, nod and smile.
Sox chairman Tom Werner did weigh in, saying “I don’t think Mariano Rivera will pitch for the Red Sox next season, [...]
Curt Schilling just told WEEI that he will be filing for free agency after the season because the Red Sox have informed him they won’t negotiate during spring training or the season.
It is curious considering the Red Sox have executed their fair share of extensions during the past few seasons, such as Coco Crisp, [...]
Yes, it is true. David Ortiz woke up this morning and was presented with a brand new Toyota Truck by the Red Sox ownership group. (An interesting choice considering Boston is aligned with Ford and Volvo.) It was a nice gesture, but not out of the ordinary considering Ortiz is going to continue to be [...]
J.D. Drew just talked to the media and seemed in good spirits. He referenced his new approach to his health over the past year which has resulted in better overall conditioning.

The perfect storm hit this morning on the banks of Edison Ave. … no media availability before workouts (allowing to sleep an extra hour) and it the thermometer didn’t read 43 degrees when I woke up. This will be my last weather reference, I promise, but I it is unbelievable how waiting for a press [...]
Don Kalkstein, the Red Sox mental performance coach, could very well be the proud owner of two championship rings from two different teams in two different sports by the time this season is done. Along with hoping to make a run at the World Series title with the Red Sox, he is also closely monitoring [...]
Wanted to run on over to computer just to let you know I am here. Also, someone mentioned Seth Mnookin’s site, which I forgot to single out. It is top-notch. As someone else said, there are tons and tons of sites. Maybe I’ll pick one per day and give it their due.
Some quick sights and [...]
I had my first round of blog doldrums today for many reasons, which stretched from a bad gas card to trying to explain to my 8-year-old that the Kia Rio that I just picked up isn’t fancy just because it has a lever on the door. That, I explained to him, was a good old [...]
