Closer Than You Think

Published on April 18, 2013, by in MLB, Red Sox.

Hanrahan has made recording outs in the ninth inning far from an easy task this season.    Over the last two seasons, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been the darlings of baseball’s first half of the season.  They combined for a 95-80 record before the All-Star break over that time, and they did so without much

Bobby V is GONE!

Published on October 5, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

It’s obvious that hiring Bobby Vee wasn’t a right fit from the get-go. I’m sure you all heard the news yesterday about the firing of Boston Red Sox Manager (if you could even call him that) Bobby Valentine. The Sox waited until the season came to an end to part ways with Bobby V, but

Deja Vu
