Fill Yankee Stadium with Red Sox players

This years All-Star Game will be held at Yankee Stadium in New York. I can think of nothing more satisfying than to fill the entire field with Red Sox players as a final goodbye to the field (it is being demolished after this season.)
The ASG balloting so far looks like this, with their ranking [...]

Daisuke’s walks catch up to him

Although he wasn’t the [...]

In place of Masterson, the Sox have [...]
