How did this happen – a frustrating, annoying 21-17 loss to the New York Giants by our New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI?  UGGGHHH! I am still reeling. Brady’s intentional grounding safety? 12 men on the field after we forced Cruz’ fumble? Then not recovering 2 other forced fumbles when the Giants put the [...]

Happy Super Bowl Sunday – the New York Giants battle the New England Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy today.  Come on Pats – we need another championship for our GREAT city!

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington has given the impression that it is unlikely that the Red Sox will add a starting pitcher before the start of the 2012 MLB campaign.  The Roy Oswalt rumors keep swirling, but with the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals also making strong plays for the righty, it doesn’t appear [...]

Earlier reports of Roy Oswalt signing with the Cardinals was wrong, and now Oswalt must decide among the Cards, Rangers or Red Sox.  Texas and St. Louis have a slight edge because they are closer to his home in Mississippi.  However, the Cards and Rangers rotations are already “set”, so he might have a better [...]

Ross played [...]

The Red Sox traded Marco Scutaro earlier this week to the Colorado Rockies for starting pitcher Clayton Mortensen.  Scutaro was to start at shortstop for the Red Sox in 2012, but now he will play 2nd base for the Rockies and likely bat 2nd in the order. Mortensen came over from the St. Louis Cardinals [...]

The Red Sox and Jaocby Ellsbury agreed to a 1-year, $8.05 million deal for the 2012 MLB season, thereby avoiding arbitration.  Ellsbury had a monster 2011 and deserved the big raise from his “modest” $2.4 million salary. On the other side of the spectrum, however, the Red Sox and David Ortiz are still $4 million [...]
