I could mean ‘hello’ to 2014, and in a way I do, but I’m really just saying hi to all of you. As you may have noticed, I’ve been gone the past couple weeks. In that time I’ve sporadically responded to some emails from my iPad, posted ‘cryptic messages on facebook’ according to Sam Boyer, […]

The Detroit Tigers speed is playing a factor in ALCS
Yes, the Detroit Tigers pitching has been phenomenal all series long against the Boston Red Sox, but what has hurt the Tigers in most of the games this series is the base running of many of its elite guys in the lineup. Guys like Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Johnny Peralta and Victor Martinez are all […]

Is there too much rest before playoff series in MLB?
The Boston Red Sox have been off since their game on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. They may have played a simulated intrasquad contest, but is that really enough to keep the offense hot going against a Tampa Bay team that has played two games over the past four days?

The Sox Complete Turnaround Post-Valentine
Never underestimate the importance of motivation in professional sports. We often assume that players with multi-million dollar, guaranteed contracts will do everything in their power to earn that money by producing on the field, but that is not always the case. Despite coming into last season with the best of intentions, the Red Sox were […]
Method To The Madness
Just when you think nothing crazy will happen in the first weekend, aside from Harvard winning a game, the bracket gets completely busted open. But before you crumple up your sheet, or smash your computer screen (too late for that one probably) and forget about the science of picking for the rest of the year, […]
