Catching up with Henry, Lucchino
I went to an event tonight in which Red Sox owner John W. Henry was given a prestigious award for his active -- yet understated -- role in the community. There was an opportunity to talk a little baseball with not just John, but also Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino and chairman Tom Werner. ...

All is quiet -- for now
I know everyone is getting restless because the speculation is out there on the Hot Stove front but not a whole lot has happened yet. This is the calm before the storm. At the end of Thursday -- when midnight turns to Friday -- all free agents will be eligible to sign with other teams. This is ...

Now that one Jason is back, what becomes of the other?
The catching situation is now finalized. Jason Varitek has agreed to be a $3 million backup for next season. Now, on to some of the other matters of the offseason. What will it take to keep Jason Bay under the employ of the Boston Red Sox? There have been several reports -- though none ...

If the Captain returns, will he keep his C?
Jason Varitek is one phone call away from putting himself back on the Red Sox's roster for 2009. He simply has to tell the club he will exercise his $3 million player option. At the GM Meetings in Chicago yesterday, general manager Theo Epstein made it clear that Victor Martinez will be a ...

Great to hear that the Red Sox and Tim Wakefield have reached agreement on a two-year deal. Wakefield has been a class act his entire time in Boston, and one of the most loyal players in franchise history. With 175 wins in a Boston uniform, it is very realistic that he can get the 18 necessary ...

Pedro on deck as the drama builds
Now, we have ourselves a full-fledged World Series. This, thanks to Chase Utley and Cliff Lee, who have, in tandem, kept the Phillies in this series. Pedro Martinez will pitch Game 6 again in enemy territory at Yankee Stadium with a chance to make this Fall Classic truly classic and force a Game ...

Phillies will fight to make it a Series
I remember when I was growing up, the Super Bowl went through a bad rut where it seemed like almost every year, it was a blowout. The two games that stick in my mind during my youth that were great games were the 49ers-Bengals in 1988, and the Giants-Bills in 1990. Other than that, blah. Is the ...

Haven't we seen this before?
browniepoints.mlblogs.com — With the Who's Your Daddy chants roaring from the stands at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, a familiar game unfolded. Remember the original Who's Your Daddy Game? It was Game 2 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. The score was New York ... (more) Haven't we seen this before?
A couple of "Idiots" to renew acquintances in World Series
Remember the "Idiots" as Johnny Damon proclaimed them? How could you forget them. Five years ago today, they won the World Series, snapping an 86-year World Series championship drought. Weird, huh? It feels like 86 years ago that we even had a championship drought around here. So yes, it will ...
