The New York Yankees got their 27th championship, a magical combination of glory and greenbacks, and the Red Sox have Jeremy Hermida. So, we're all feeling a lot better. The Sox seem destined for the poorhouse it seems, with Josh Beckett only a year away from free agency, Jason Bay suddenly the defensive talent of say, Mike Greenwell, and John Henry doing a chopshop job on his investment company. Maybe...
So, yeah...we had some people predicting the outcome of the World Series. And well, they were wrong. Let's take Jimmy Rollins. He predicted what? Oh yeah...he predicted that the Phillies were going to win the World Series in 5 games, 6 if they were NICE to the Yankees. Sighs. Not so much. I saw this ecard today over at someecards.com and if it wasn't so depressing, it would be hilarious. OK. It's...
It's not an over statement that the Over The Monster community under estimated what Jacoby Ellsbury would do this season . Nobody was really that close at all. Only one guess was actually over his batting average this season and the closest guess for stolen bases was still 14 off. Rough. The categories for Ellsbury were: AB, HR, BA, OBP, SLG and SB. His actual stats: G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS...

Player A (2009): 606 ABs, 15 HR, 96 R, 68 RBI, 60 SB, .305, .816 OPS Player B (2009): 624 ABs, 8 HR, 94 R, 60 RBI, 70 SB, .301, .770 OPS Pretty close, eh? What if I told you that player A will likely be drafted as a top three outfielder in 2010, while player B could be drafted near...

Jacoby Ellsbury was on ESPN Boston today to answer questions submitted by fans. He thought Papelbon was the funniest player on the team and said that Buchholz is only faster than him in his dreams. When asked about facing Red Sox pitchers he responded with: I'd wanna face Wakefield, because I've never faced his knuckleball before, and I'd like to see it. It looks filthy from the outfield, and I'm...

Dustin Pedroia : We're all shocked. Jacoby Ellsbury: About as tough a loss as you can have. Mike Lowell: This one hurts down deep. Jonathan Papelbon : You can't even classify how this one hurts more than any other. David Ortiz : We've finished people up in three games before, too. It tells you as quick as it comes, as quick it can go. Theo Epstein : I don't think anything that occurred in this series...
BOSTON – Jon Lester showed no ill effects from his injury last week and was splendid in a final tuneup for the playoffs, pitching into the seventh inning and leading the Boston Red Sox to a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. Boston snapped its season-high six-game skid. Lester (15-8) gave up just two hits, walked one and struck out seven in 6 1-3 innings. He left after walking
Boston center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury walked through a crowded clubhouse carrying a base he was awarded for breaking the team's single-season stolen base record.
It ended where it began, in Fenway Park, on a cool, dry afternoon. It begins with the promise of spring and ends with the inevitability of fall, and while the trappings are similar, the feelings are very different. Odds & Ends & the end of the Red Sox playoff "run"... I had sports radio on for a few minutes Friday morning, following the game 1 loss, and the very first call I heard...
