Here some questions and his answers from tonight’s brief conference call with the Boston media: (Please note, Ramirez gave his answers in Spanish and they were translated by Red Sox employee Ed Romero) Q: What do you recall from your one game pitching at Fenway Park? A: “I felt great pitching there. I recognized all [...]

New Red Sox reliever Ramon Ramirez, acquired for Coco Crisp in a trade earlier today, is doing a conference call with Red Sox media at 6 p.m. I will have some of his key comments here beginning around 6:30 p.m. Also, I have a column on Coco Crisp going in tomorrow’s Eagle-Tribune. The point is [...]
I have to say this first. We here in New England are very unforgiving. A Boston Red Sox guy gets 16 first place votes, 6 second place votes, 4 third place votes and 1 fourth place vote to convincingly win the AL MVP. And you know what we are focusing on? The lone guy who [...]
What are your thoughts and comments about Dustin Pedroia’s award winning season? What about Kevin Youkilis, who finished third? I believe the right guy got the award. Pedroia really is special. He not only had the numbers — .326, 17 HRs, 83 RBI, 20 stolen bases and only six errors — but his penchant for [...]

Here are a few thoughts about a busy sports world, particularly around here: 1. The Giants are No. 1. Give the defending champs credit. They are a very good football team in a mediocre league. They go to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers badly in the fourth quarter with the game on the line, this [...]
Here are some thoughts while trying to grab my wits about me: 1. The Rays were better. Not by much, but their starting pitching was able to stabilize the Red Sox offense. Matt Garza basically said he wasn’t going to lose. And he didn’t. It was a good lesson for the “kids” to see, including [...]

Matt Garza was awesome. He allowed two hits. He didn’t buckle when the pressure was on several times throughout his outing. The Rays were on life supports coming in to tonight’s game. They needed seven plus innings of near perfect baseball. And they got it. Nothing has been decided, but we can say Garza is [...]

Yes, it’s true. Rays manager Joe Maddon is staying with his starter, Matt Garza, who has thrown 116 pitches through seven full innings. What does it tell you about Maddon? He trusts Garza, who was all but demanding to stay in the game when Maddon went out for a visit in the seventh inning. After [...]

With the count 3-and-2, Dustin Pedroia on first and David Ortiz at the plate, Pedroia took off with the pitch. The problem was Ortiz swung and missed, and Rays catcher Dioner Navarro threw out Pedroia easily. It was only the second time Pedroia was caught this year. He was caught only once out of 21 [...]
