You can't have everything. We started out with health and couldn't win. Now we're winning but we're losing good players. Ugh. As you may have heard, Carl Crawford is hurt. Like, a lot. (Brian MacPherson; The Providence Journal) The Red Sox released as ... »
The season is three weeks old and over the last 30 hours as of this writing the Red Sox have 30 percent of their total wins. Better late than never... I guess? According to Mike Aviles, David Ortiz should, "keep his head up." Things will go his way soo... »
It doesn't mean jack, but still it's comforting to see the Red Sox starters round into form. Monday we had Jon Lester make some portion of the regular Phillies lineup look like they'd just signed up for baseball camp. Yesterday it was Josh Beckett's tu... »
Sad news yesterday as Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Mel Parnell passed away. I didn't know much about Parnell so Iooked him up. Turns out he was a screwball pitcher which, if you've ever tried to throw a screwball, you'd know is crazy. It's basically a ... »
It's been a while, folks, but at least for today, Morning Sox Stuffers is making its return to the front page of Over The Monster as Mr. Kory heads southeast for spring training. I'm out of practice with this, so apologies in advance if I get off-topic... »

Another *YAWN* Super Bowl appearance *YAWN* for the *YAWN* PatrioSNOOOOORE. Link time! The big news this weekend was the surprising trade of starting shortstop Marco Scutaro for nothing at all AAA pitcher Clayton Mortensen nothing at all. The Sox shipp... »
It's snowing now in Portland, OR. It never snows in Portland, OR. That means something weird is about to happen. Maybe the Red Sox are about to sign Roy Oswalt, or Edwin Jackson. Or Ty Cobb. Or Roy Hobbs. Link time! Yesterday was an eventful day in Red... »
No bush beating today. It's... Link time! The huge news is, of course, that the Red Sox signed Aaron Cook to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. (This is according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.) The Providence Journal's Tim... »
