Call it reverse psychology.
Last night Red Sox owner John W. Henry wrote in a late email the team was dropping out of the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes. But according to the three top national sporting news media outlets, the Sox have not closed the door entirely about acquiring the switch-hitter.

Winter Meetings Day III - Mark Teixeira

Regarding Teixeira, the Red Sox have stiff competition, according to Boston Globe reports. The Orioles, Angels, Yankees and Nationals. The Nationals are a long-shot to land the free agent but it never hurts to give “go big.” Born and raised in Severna Park, Md., Teixeira grew up rooting for the Orioles and it was reported by the LA Times, O’s GM Andy...

A 90-year-old ballpark was one of many things the current Red Sox administration acquired from the ineffective Harrington regime when the bought the team in 2002. They also inherited an outdated policy for retiring numbers. During the previous regime, the policy for having your number up on the right field façade was that you had to be in the baseball Hall of Fame, play at least 10 years and retire with the Red Sox.
After paying $700...

Final Series with the Rays

Boston Sports SID wrote this 3 months ago on |
| Who could have predicted that the last series of the year between these two rivals would pretty much decide the winner of the American League East? The Rays have never finished a season above .500 and everyone here was expected them to hit a free fall somewhere back in August but they did not. They kept on plugging through.
Now they currently sit a game ahead of the Sox in first place and lead the season series 8-7 and send their Ace and Sox...

| Ten years ago there were the Derek Jeter-Nomar Garciaparra comparisons to decide who the better shortstop between the two rivals was. Now with the New York Yankees in a tailspin and the arrival of the Tampa Bay Rays playing competitive baseball in the American League East, there comes a new comparison in the division.
B.J. Upton was drafted with the second pick of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the, then, Devil Rays as a shortstop. Like...

| All it takes is two minutes of listening to Dennis & Callahan before you start to feel like you just took a Josh Beckett fastball to the head. They hammer (and I mean hammer) their opinions into your brain until you give up and walk away because you can not take them any more. Or you walk away because you start to feel your blood pressure spiking to an incredibly dangerous level.
