Is A-Gon, A-Gone? (again?)
Red Sox decline Alex Gonzalez's $6 million option for 2010


If I told you that the Red Sox and A-Gon were making some headlines in the Hot Stove column, your eyes would more than likely light up, thinking that the "A-Gon" that I was referring to was Adrian Gonzalez.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but this one's about the other A-Gon.

On Sunday, the Globe's Tony Massarotti shared that the Red Sox have declined the $6 million option that remained on Alex Gonzalez's 3-year, $14 million contact that the shortstop signed with the Cincinnati Reds back in 2007.

Now, more often than not, a player whose option is declined by the team in which he was previously under contract with does not return. However, the Red Sox have specified their interest in bringing Gonzalez back in a Red Sox uniform, just not for $6 million.

FanGraphs listed Gonzalez's...

Sox land Hermida from Marlins
Hot Stove kicks into action less than 24 hours after the WS


Less than 24 hours after the final pitch of the 2009 World Series, Theo Epstein began what hopes to be a pivotal offseason that will hopefully bring the Red Sox back atop the American League East.

Just before 6pm here in Boston, Epstein completed a deal with Florida Marlins' Vice President and general manager, Michael Hill, that sent outfielder Jeremy Hermida to Boston in exchange for a pair of left-handed pitchers. Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez will pack their bags and head down south to the Sunshine State.

Jones, who spent most of his 2009 season down in Triple A Pawtucket, posted a 9.24 ERA in just 12.2 innings at the big league level with Boston. Alvarez had better fortunes in '09, as the left-hander was tried as both a reliever and a starter (12 starts, 14 relief appearances). Jones posted a 2.26 ERA in Class-A ball in the Red Sox's farm system.

In return for the pair of southpaws, the Red Sox receive a former first-round draft pick in Hermida. As first reported by

Five Years Ago Tonight...
An excerpt from One Fan's Story: If This Hat Could Talk


The following is an excerpt from Jared Carrabis' debut book, One Fan's Story: If This Hat Could Talk

I felt like I was living in a dream, it all happened so fast. I didn’t have any time to soak in the significance of each game one by one. One second I was staring up at my ceiling trying to figure out where this team went wrong as we stared an 0-3 deficit in the face, the next I’m celebrating an American League pennant. Then it felt like less than a day later that the Red Sox had a 3-0 series lead against the Cardinals in the World Series. It was just all too much to take in at once. I had just seen a slugfest of a World Series opener, the bloody sock part II and my dream of seeing Pedro pitch in the World Series and dominate. Putting things into perspective, I had to come to terms with the reality that my team was one win away from winning a World Series title. Even the slightest thought of such a thing could not process in my ...

It's Pedro Time
The Fall Classic sets up a Pedro Vs. NYY rematch


Just after midnight, the New York Yankees punched their ticket to the World Series for the very first time since Aaron Boone launched an extra-inning, season-ending and heart-crushing home run into the left field corner at Yankee Stadium that sent the Red Sox packing in Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series.

That game, which was started by Pedro Martinez, was all the motivation that was needed to help drive the magical run of the returning Red Sox players who were part of the miraculous October the very next October en route to the 2004 World Series Championship. But, before I get to that 2004 season, let me take you back to that Game 7 in 2003, as much as it may make you cringe.

Holding a three-run lead with just five outs standing in the way of the Red Sox and a trip to the World Series, Pedro Martinez stood atop the mound in the center of Yankee Stadium. Thinking back on that night, it's hard to understand why the Red Sox didn't win that game.

After four ...

The final out that never came
What went wrong for the 2009 Boston Red Sox?


They say the last out is always the hardest; they ain’t kiddin’.

The time of the year that is looked forward to by Red Sox fans far and wide has come and gone before we even had a chance to notice that it was here. Making their exit in the quickest way possible, the Red Sox were swept out of the postseason after suffering one of the most traumatizing losses since Bucky Dent lifted a game-winning home run into the screen to advance the Yankees past the Red Sox in 1978.

The theme so far in this October’s playoffs has been the ninth inning comeback. Thus far, four of the premier closers in the game have been victimized by ninth inning offensive surges. The Cardinals’ Ryan Franklin, the Twins’ Joe Nathan, the Red Sox’s Jonathan Papelbon and the Rockies’ Huston Street, have all entered the ninth inning with a lead this October, and all of them have either allowed the opposing team to tie the score, or were handed the loss. Ultimately, all four of those games were won by the opposing...

I don't believe in miracles
...but I'll tell you what I do believe in


You heard me correctly; I don't believe in miracles.

I don't believe in luck, I believe in skill. I don't believe in chance, I believe in destiny. And again, I don't believe in miracles, because I believe that no matter what, the better team always comes out on top in a series, always.

A championship caliber team always finds a way to win, no matter what the circumstance may be, no matter what adversity they may have to face, no matter what the scoreboard may read at any point in the game.

With that being said, if you were to ask me if this 2009 Red Sox team is better than the 2009 Angels squad, my answer would be yes. Now, taking that into perspective, this 2009 Angels team is better than the team that the Red Sox swept in '04, they're better than the team that got swept in '07 and they're better than the team that got bumped in four games just a year ago.

However, we're talking about a Red Sox team that, in my opinion, is better than the team that won it all in 2...

Dare to dream
because anything is possible


First, I just wanted to thank everyone who took time out of their Saturday to come to my first book signing at Newbury Comics this past weekend.

Second, I wanted to thank everyone who spent their hard-earned dollars to give my book a chance. Completing this project has been a dream come true for me and the feeling that I get each and every time someone welcomes my book into their home is indescribable. I say that because the amount of hard work and dedication that went into writing the book was beyond anything I had ever expected.

But, of course, it all started with a dream.

As you may know, my dream to become a writer started on MySpace. SoxSpace originated on MySpace, before becoming its own website and creating a fan base on Facebook. The same can be said about Veronica Ballestrini. If you're into the country music scene, then you may have heard her name, and if you haven't yet, then you will.

Our stories practically mirror each other. It all started with a dream that ...

Where He Belongs
Jim Rice honored with his number retired at Fenway Park


After 20 long years, Legend Status: achieved.

On Tuesday, Jim Rice became the eighth player in Red Sox history to have his number retired by the storied franchise. It was Johnny Pesky, the last player to have his number retired by the Sox, who raised the red banner to unveil Rice's number 14 for all of Red Sox Nation to see.

In his sixteen-year career, in which he spent all 2,089 games in Boston, Rice amassed 382 career HR, 1,451 RBI and a .298 career batting average. The right-handed slugger who took over for the legendary Carl Yastrzemski, collected 406 total bases in 1978. It was the first time anyone had rounded up over 400 bases since the great Joe DiMaggio had done so decades before. Rice would go on to win the American League MVP in 1978, while playing in all 163 games that season (including the one-game playoff against the Yankees).

After leading the league in total bases in his MVP season, Rice went on to lead the AL in total bases for three consecutive seasons ('78...

Welcome Home, Nomar
The legend of Nomar Garciaparra through the eyes of a fan


In the 1994 draft, the Red Sox used their first round draft pick (12th overall) on a model student-athlete out of Georgia Tech by the name of Anthony; Anthony Nomar Garciaparra.

After spending the first three years of his professional career in Sarasota, Trenton and Pawtucket respectively, Garciaparra made his Major League debut with the Boston Red Sox on August 31, 1996. The very next day, Garciaparra croaked a home run off of John "Waaaay Back" Wasdin. Garciaparra's first longball in the bigs was the very first hit in his soon-to-be legendary Red Sox tenure.

At the time of Nomar's burst to the big leagues, John Valentin was not only Boston's starting shortstop, but he was one of the premiere names on the Sox roster. Valentin had finished in the top ten (ninth) in the AL MVP voting the season just prior to Nomar making his big league debut. Just a year after Valentin had collected some MVP votes, he watched as Nomar Garciaparra took over the job of full-time shortstop in late ...





"Baseball is a game of numbers. Stats are an addicting substance that baseball fans all over feed off of from April until October. Baseball at Fenway Park is a whole different game of numbers unfamiliar to teams anywhere else in the game. Sure we love our stats just as much as any other fanbase but here, we talk some numbers that won't be talked about anywhere else.

Here, the mark of greatness is the number 9. The big green wall known as the Green Monster is 37 feet high. In Boston, .406 isn't a channel on your digital cable, it's a legendary accomplishment that lives on forever through the voices of the fans. 2004 isn't just a year in Boston, it' has become a phrase that triggers a feeling of extacy throughout our bodies. These numbers are just a small sample of numbers that are significant in Red Sox Nation.

On September 8, 2008, the Red Sox added one more number to that magical list, 456. On May 15, 2003 in front of a crowd of 33,801, the Boston Red Sox pounded the Texas Rangers 12-3 at Fenway Park. From this game forward, Red Sox fans from all over filled the seats in Fenway Park for every single game until this very day. Five and a half years later, the Fenway Faithful came together for a game to be played between the Red Sox and the Rays and in doing so, set the record for most consecutive sellouts in the history of Major League Baseball.

Over those 456 games we have seen two no-hitters thrown by Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester. We have seen the emergence of Dustin Pedroia in his Rookie of the Year season and so on. We have seen two Gold Glove winners in Jason Varitek and Kevin Youkilis. In the past 456 games played, we have seen the likes of 28 All Star selections from our beloved team. Most importantly, the Red Sox have made the postseason four out of the five seasons along with one AL East Division Championship, and with our loyalty and support the Red Sox have won two World Series titles in that span of time.

So give yourself an old pat on the back you Red Sox fanatic, you. And to those that say this record was only reached due to the fact that Fenway is the smallest ballpark in baseball, by all means, add 20,000 more seats and Red Sox Nation would be more than happy to sell those out too."

holliday's good, but i believe bays better. obviously we've seen holliday in colorado, and in st louis, both NL teams...he did well. keep in mind when he was in oakland, an AL team, he was nowhere near as good. i believe thats why he wanted to go to st louis. he plays better in the NL, and he knows it. i was and still am impressed with the way jason bay played the monster and how easy he fit into fenway. again, hollidays a hell of a player, but i'd rather have bay in left field. we need to bring him back. i also think considering lowrie and green's injuries, we should bring back gonzalez too. his bat isnt the strongest, but hes good defensively. i suppose having hermida now, we can let baldelli go. bring back wake obviously. i say let saito go, but bring back wagner. and i hate to say it, but it's probably time to cut ties with varitek, cause you know they'll bring martinez back. teks bat has been shitty for two seasons now, and hes even slipping behind the plate i think. i believe he should retire or get into bench coaching for the sox. also, i think lowell's got one more season left in him. i guess we will all just have to hold our breath and see what happens. but...bay is the biggest thing the front office should be concentrating on right now.
