The mornings aren’t the only thing chilly in New England this month. After a hot as all hell start to the season The Sox and their leadoff man are slumping badly, in 26 April games The Sox set the AL east on fire batting .271 smacking 26 home runs and drove in 133 of their 135 ,,...

| | Between 1961 and 1989 only Willie Mays and George Foster hit 50 or more home runs in a season. Two in all of MLB in 30 years. Between 1990 and 2012 it’s been done 15 times. Peaking with Barry Bonds record setting 71 in 2001. In those last 20 years one thing has been constant Dan Shaughnessy has been covering The Red Sox and MLB for the Boston Globe.

| | When Ben Cherington put together this bull pen he smartly did so with injuries in mind. His big move from last year had blown up in his face when Andrew Bailey went down early with a broken thumb, this season he wasn’t going to put all his eggs in that basket.
Hedging his bet from a year ago Ben went out and added a...

It’s difficult to nitpick when a team most experts had finishing at the bottom of their own division is playing the best baseball in either league, but you all know me better than that.
While most are raving about the Sox starters, what has slipped thru the crack in this very...

| | Yes really.. After last nights meltdown on the mound and the Locker-room the Sox chose to NOT release Daniel Aceves, what they chose to do is bring back last seasons meltdown, Daniel Bard.
Yes after just three weeks with old friend and Coach Bob Kipper what was supposed to be a rebuilding project that could take half if...

| | I may be a bit premature here, but watching Joel Hanrahan try to close out a game reminds me of a fellow named Eric Gagne when he came from Texas to handle that roll. Both had done a decent job with their previous teams, but for some reason when they hit Boston, it all goes to crap.
I have to say though, Uehara is a joy to watch and at 38 years old, he is doing...

| | No one - and I mean no one - gave Jon Lester a harder time than I did last season. If I linked a column I had written from 2012 to each mention of his name here, you wouldn’t find many flattering words. So after impressively winning his first two starts this season I wasn’t about to start writing my CY Young piece about him. You see like his first two victories...
