Sox Busy at the Deadline

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Before this year’s trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox have been a very active team. Making a lot of moves have caused the Red Sox to do some shuffling this season. The first move that they got done was shipping Julio Lugo and cash to St. Louis for Chris Duncan and a player to be [...]

2 More Names From the List

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Remember that list of 104 names that failed drug tests from 2003? Well, now, two more player’s names have been reportedly linked to steroids by being on that list. David Ortiz of the Red Sox and Manny Ramirez of the Dodgers were members of that list of 104 names from ‘03 as reported by Mike [...]

Halladay or Lee?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

If you had to choose, who would you take? It is a tough decision. Both are very good pitchers, but both of them are in their 30s. They both are the aces on their respective staffs, and, apparently, they both require you to unload on prospects for. Today, Cliff Lee was traded along with Ben [...]

Halladay Traded before Deadline?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Trade talks involving the Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay are pretty much stalled. The Toronto Blue Jays are wanting a team that is willing to unload to make the trade or Halladay, and at this point, there are not a lot of teams that are willing do that for him.

Sox Falling Apart at the Seams

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

After last night’s loss to the Texas Rangers, the once first place Boston Red Sox find themselves two games back to the Yankees in the American League East after being swept by the flu-stricken Rangers. The Sox came out of the All Star break with a lead over the Yankees for the division. Now the [...]

The Dunk Was Not That Great

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I had just finished watching the Red Sox vs. Rangers on ESPN and SportsCenter came on after with Stuart Scott and Neil Everett as the anchors. As I was watching, they showed a tape of Jordan Crawford’s dunk on LeBron James. I have to say I was very disappointed. I don’t even think that that [...]

Busy Bees
