Is he trying to stir the pot, get his name in the news again, and sell some books? Or was he just intoxicated? Around midnight Monday evening, the long time washed up, 47 year old Jose Canseco tweeted out that he wants to try out for the Red Sox this spring. As if that wasn't ridiculos enough the stats that he sites in his tweet are wrong. Thanks to NESN.com for doing the legwork."Fenway 350

If Pedro Martinez didn't win the AL MVP in 1999 then no pitcher should ever win the MVP. In 2011 Ellsbury hit .321, 32 homers, stole 39 bases, and 105 RBI far eclipsing Pedroia's 2008 MVP season. This robbery didn't go unnoticed by Pedroia.It kind of stinks."-- Dustin Pedroia on MVP-Gatevia ESPN

PAPELGONEJonathan Papelbon has made it clear for years that he wanted to reach free agency and set the bar for closer contracts, and that is exactly what he did. His loyalty has always been to getting the largest contract possible and not to the Red Sox. On Monday he received a 4 year $50,000,000.58 contract with the Phillies. On an annual bases a $500,000 pay raise from his 12 million dollar

Theo Epstein says goodbye to Red Sox nation with a full page ad in the Boston Globe. The text of the letter reads like an Alanis Morissette song. He writes all the expected sentiments as he says "thank you" seven times in the farewell letter. He ends the letter as all true Red Sox fans end their correspondence with a simple, "Go Sox!"; and for that Theo I say thank you.

The Red Sox have not won two games in a row since August 27, 2011.Today is September 27 and that is hard to believe. It is possible for the Red Sox to make it to the playoffs without winning another two games in a row but it really should not be.

Several years ago Red Sox brass anointed David Ortiz as the greatest clutch hitter in Red Sox history. From that year forward Mr Ortiz quickly became very unclutch. Can you remember the last time big Papi hit a walkoff hit? I can't. Can you remember the last time Carl Crawford hit a game winning hit? Sure can. May 9th, and May 1st come to mind. David Ortiz earned his title with a fairly large set

The Sox have the worst record in baseball. John Lackey was demoted from the #2 starter to the #5 starter. John Lackey is simply awful

What have we learned from spring training so far.David Ortiz is off to a hot start. 5 for 13, HR, and yes a stolen base. Carl Crawford has two hits in 12 at bats.Youkilis and Pedroia are tied for the slowest start among the regulars. Combined they have two hits in 19 at bats.

THE FIRST RULE OF REVENUE SHARING IS THAT YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT REVENUE SHARING!In the land of free speech and the land where a man raced against a steam powered hammer and won you would think talking about revenue sharing would not be cause for a $500,000 fine. You would be wrong. In 2009 when discussing a billion revenue shared dollars going towards uncompetitive teams Henry said Who except

Theo Epstein admitted recently the team hired private investigators to follow Carl Crawford during the off season. Carl Crawford admitted recently he didn't think it was cool. I definitely look over my shoulder now a lot more than what I did before, Just when he told me that, the idea of him following me everywhere I go, was kind of, I wasn't comfortable with that at all...I don't know how

Saturday Day Games Return to FenwayOn the last night of January all of the Red Sox top brass had a town hall meeting (think presidential election) with a select group of fans. What came out of it? Not a great deal but it was seen as a positive experience from both sides of the fence. One tidbit of information showed that the Red Sox ownership group does listen to their fans; when their fans

Gonzales has worn number 23 for the last 5 years, basically his entire career. No one would expect the older Cameron to give up his uniform number if he has had a long storied career with number 23 but that simply isn't the case. Cameron has

"We believe in A.J.

He went 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA, one of the worst performances by a Yankee allowed to start for an entire season. Add to that the fact that Burnett

I laugh a little when I hear how the Home Run Derby can affect your season after that. That's not how it goes for me. You're tired the next day, but it's not like you're going to carry that to the rest of the season.

I'll tell you one thing, too. I'm glad we're done with Interleague. I was able to hit a home run in that water on Sunday in San Francisco, and you know I wanted to hit that water bad.

In the last 10 games Pedroia raised his average from .263 to .293.In late June that's amazing! I've been feeling good at the plate lately, been seeing the ball good, hitting the ball all over the place. When you feel good, the only thing is you've got to get a good pitch to hit. Tonight, I got good pitches to hit and I didn't miss them. I didn't see where it went. I just saw the left fielder

What a difference a month makes. May 22nd the Red Sox were 8.5 games out of first place in the AL east. A month later, thanks in part to a terrible start by A.J. Burnett Monday night, the Sox have moved to a half game  back of the top spot.

The Ortiz Hustle I don't think my (hitting) was worse than last year at this time. Not even close. So I don't know. I just had lousy luck at the beginning of the season. Things weren't coming through, but I was missing pitches with good swings. Bad luck. Nothing I can do about that." -- David Ortiz GOOD SWINGS? PLEASE

Yet Another Reason to Love Dustin PedroiaDavid’s fine. He’s one of our teammates. It could have been me who hit into a double play. It happens to everybody. He’s had 60 at-bats. A couple of years ago I had 60 at-bats and I was hitting .170 and everybody was ready to kill me too. What happened?
