It was bound to happen in August or at the very least September, but let’s be honest, the leadoff position has been a gorilla on the Red Sox backs and apparently it’s time to see if Jacoby Ellsbury is ready.
The Sox announced earlier today that Ellsbury was being called up from Pawtucket to fill the void left by Joel Pineiro’s ankle sprain (wink! … wink!).
The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder lefthanded batter — I didn’t realize he was … continued »

I’m confused. Ray Allen is a shooting guard, a great one. Paul Pierce is a shooting forward, probably a great one. Is this the veteran the Celtics believe will lead them to two levels from where they are now?
I hope so.
This is a bold move and I like bold moves. But they had better work. This will make the Celtics offense better, which was a major problem, especially when Pierce fell to injury. But will … continued »

The NBA Draft is tonight and to be honest, I’m thinking better of that fifth pick than I thought a month ago.
Anyway, the Celtics will have a lot on their plate over the next six or seven hours, with teams calling about Al Jefferson, the No. 5 pick, Gerald Green or even Paul Pierce (more on him in another post).
What are your thoughts about the draft pick? Keep or trade.
Unless we’re talking Kobe Bryant here, … continued »

It’s officially a MAJOR problem.
The Red Sox have a gaping hole when Julio Lugo is playing. That is obvious. He not only hasn’t had a hit since June 14, but he hasn’t knocked in a run either. Remember during his early struggles? At least he was knocking runners in. Now he can’t even do that.
Worse, he has been only average defensively. He is on pace with his worst-ever season of 24 errors (in 2005) with … continued »

Now that the Red Sox have somewhat settled down from their demise, winning four of five, we can talk sensibly.
The lineup, including and especially leadoff, appears to be a concern moving forward, but the Red Sox starting pitching is too good for this team to fall apart. Or at least it appears that way.
But Curt Schilling’s shoulder — he will have an MRI tomorrow — is something to be concerned about. He is a No. … continued »

It was a great idea. I remember buying the inception and even the first year.
I remember the Red Sox first series, against the lowly Phillies, and saying “wow, I care about a Phillies game.”
I am not saying “wow” anymore.
Neither are the players. Remember the Atlanta Braves coming to Fenway a few weeks ago? Instead of being exited to play baseball’s hottest team, Braves players were complaining about having to play the Red Sox every … continued »
