Record Breaking Red Sox
It seems like at least one record has been broken per season for the past decade. There was Pedro’s career winning percentage, Youkilis’ consecutive errorless games streak, and Big Papi’s 54 homeruns in a season.
This year looks to be another one for the ages as a handful of records are in jeopardy of being [...]
How far has Matt Clement fallen?
2005 was Matt Clement’s year. He had a 10-2 record by the break and got elected to his first All-Star appearance.
It didn’t take very long for everything to fall apart. His next 4 starts were disastrous (22 ER in 23 IP.) The bad pitching stretch culminated with a game versus the [...]
Sox players trash talk each other in WBC
David Ortiz (Dominican Republic) on potentially facing Daisuke Matsuzaka (Japan) in the WBC: “I’m going to take Dice-K deep for sure.”

My prediction is that USA ends [...]

Dustin Pedroia’s brother accused of child molestation
I guess every member of the Pedroia family can’t be the MVP of the American League. Dustin Pedroia’s brother, Brett Pedroia, was arrested on January 9th and accused of ‘oral copulation and lewd acts with a child under 14.’ He has since been released on $50,000 bail.
This doesn’t really have anything to do [...]
