    Julio Lugo has passed away

    Shocking, shocking news... Wow.. He also looked really healthy (not out of shape as a lot of ex players)

    Most exciting plays in Red Sox history (for the Casual Fan)

    That series... In the post 2004 era, that has been the most heartbreaking end of a season. Going into game 7 I was completely sure we would complete another ridiculous comeback. To answer the question, and seeing that most of you already covered the main ones, here's one I didn't see posted...

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    Yup, exactly the same for me. Manny was basically the main reason for me to start following the Red Sox... I remember being 16 and wanting to get dreadlocks just like him (I should have done it, now I'm bald and I never did it!). Can't believe it's been 12 years since that trade. Jason Bay...

    Luis Valbuena, Jose Castillo killed in car crash

    Yep, this happens all the time. That's the only reason there are big rocks blocking the road. It happened a few years ago to a famous actress as well.

    Luis Valbuena, Jose Castillo killed in car crash

    It wasn't a car accident. Things like that happen every day in Venezuela. People put rocks in the middle of the road so that people have to pull over and then kidnap them/mug them. They were murdered. This is awful, awful news. Jose Castillo was a star in the Venezuelan Winter League... Carlos...

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    That happened to me on monday as well. You just have to keep trying and trying, it will eventually let you buy it. FWIW I had better luck on my phone that on my computer that day.

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    Managed to score tickets on the 60£ CF area for Sunday (have to catch a train back home living outside of London so didn't want to risk it with the Saturday game). First Red Sox game since 2010, when I watched Lester shut down the Yankees at the Toilet... from the bleachers. It will be quite...

    OK other then 2004 what was the sweetest pennant?

    2007 for me. Living outside of the US, it was a bit difficult during that time being able to follow every single game of the season but I managed to watch at least 140 games of the regular season plus the playoffs. From game 1 at Kansas we had so many storylines that year. Dice K debut...

    Chris Sale to Boston for Moncada, Kopech, & 2 Prospects

    I guess Buchholz and/or one of the lefties in the rotation are gone for a 3B?

    ALDS: Indians vs Red Sox

    These ******* Indians. 2007 ALCS has been the most nerve wrecking playoff series I've watched (excluding '03 and '04 against the Yankees). I still can't believe how close we were of actually losing that series. (I threw my TV remote against the wall in game 4) Bringing Beckett's ex to sing...

    What year is your favorite Red Sox season?

    While nothing can top 2004, I have to say 2007 does it for me. Living in Venezuela it is a bit difficult to follow every game since we don't get NESN. But that year I was in Florida around march so I drove from Ft. Lauderdale to Ft. Myers with my uncle (huge baseball fan but a Yankee) and I got...

    Crazy Trade Proposals That Never Came True

    Wasn't there a trade proposal involving Ellsbury to the Marlins for Miggy? If I remember correctly, it was practically the same package we were willing to give up for Santana.   Cabrera in Fenway...  wow.

    The Outfield '15 version

    FWIW, didn't Gammons (I know, I know...) say something about Vic sending Ben Cherington a video of him doing some kind of martial arts and proving how healthy he was? I can't find the video where I heard him say this, I think it was probably one of his interviews during the Lester saga or the...

    Your Red Sox Blind Spot

    Tony Graffanino. Even after his error in the 2005 ALDS that pretty much sealed our fate in that series, I loved the guy. I knew his 2005 season was pretty much a career year, but I hated it when we placed him on waivers.   I also had some love for Mark Loretta, who came right after Tony. I still...
