As expected, when the N.Y. Yankees dropped out of the Mike Lowell Lottery, the Red Sox appear to be close with a three-year deal for the third baseman according to ESPN.com’s Buster Olney.
The Red Sox have not budged from their original three-year deal. The only question became money. Would the Red Sox budge from their $37.5 million (estimate) offer? Well apparently they did, moving the deal closer to $40 million.
This will obviously be met with … continued »

Week 11
Sunday’s games
New England 42, BUFFALO 13 … No Lynch, no close game
GREEN BAY 31, Carolina 10 … No QB, no chance

This is going to be an interesting topic of discussion the next few days, weeks, months and even years: What do we do about Barry Bonds’ records?
If he is guilty, which I assume he is, I strongly believe there has to be an asterisk next to his name and the record set separate from the Hank Aaron and Co.
I also would investigate Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, to verify if their records would be moved … continued »

OK, we knew Terry Francona wasn’t going to win AL Manager of the Year (He finished fourth). Not with that payroll.
But let’s be honest, with no disrespect to Indians manager Eric Wedge (the winner), Francona’s best work this season was in October.

I wouldn’t believe it if I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.
The Boston Celtics are for real. I figured good. I didn’t figure great.
I am struck most by how happy Paul Pierce is. He truly is rejuvenated. I think he will be the huge benefactor in that performances like last night (31 points, including 11-for-11 from the line with 11 rebounds and six assists) will not be needed as much as they were in … continued »

Frankly, I’m surprised Dustin Pedroia won American League Rookie of the Year. Not that he didn’t deserve it, I just thought his low run production (50 RBI) might cost him. And the fact that the voting is before the playoffs begin (if it was after, he would have won the award unanimously) takes away probably his best play this season.
Anyway, it’s testament to Red Sox management who stuck with this kid after a horrendous five … continued »
