It’s a hard pill for folks to swallow, but the bullpen isn’t going to fix itself over night and even more depressing – there probably isn’t any real help coming anytime soon. Twitter was a complete mess tonight – full of hysterical tweets about what the Red Sox should do and what they shouldn’t do, [...]

The competitive atmosphere amongst the [...]

While it wasn’t the most exciting week to be a Red Sox fan, it’s hard to look at GM Ben Cherington’s first winter meetings as anything less (or more) than a mild success. The Red Sox are in a better, more focused position heading out of the baseball’s annual free agent/trade suare, and were able [...]
