soxaddict.org — You can say what you want about ESPN being biased but they have some pretty intelligent advertising execs working there. Check out the red socks that they left in random laundromats in the L.A. area after Manny Ramirez was traded to the Dodgers.. (more) ESPN's Guerrilla Marketing
Can Jon Lester keep this up all season?
Can Jon Lester keep this up all season?
soxaddict.org — There is no doubt about it, Jon Lester has been the ace of the Red Sox staff thus far. He has already thrown 2 complete game shut-outs (including a no-hitter) and 61% of his starts have been quality starts. There should be no debate about the excellence of Jon Lester. The true question is whether or not he can keep it up. This can be broken down into two sections, performance and stamina. (more) Can Jon Lester keep this up all season?

Will the Red Sox sign Barry Bonds?
soxaddict.org — There have been a lot of rumors floating around since David Ortiz got hurt that the Red Sox might be interested in Barry Bonds.

Johnny Damon puzzled by taking Joba out of bullpen
sports.espn.go.com — It didn't take long for the second-guessing to begin over Joba Chamberlain's move to the New York Yankees starting rotation. Left fielder Johnny Damon was quoted in the New York Daily News as having some doubt about taking Chamberlain out of his set-up relief role, where he has been dominant, and making him a starter.

David Ortiz placed on the DL
soxaddict.org — The MRI on David Ortiz’s left wrist is showing ligament damage and he will possibly be out for at least a month as the team put him on the 15-day DL tonight. It’s a partial tear and is reminiscent of what Nomar went through when he was having injury problems in Boston. (more) David Ortiz placed on the DL

How I missed a no-hitter AND a 500th homerun

Eric Gagne may actually be less worthless to Boston now
soxaddict.org — Sure, we may have traded David Murphy and Kason Gabbard for Eric Gagne last season. Sure, he may have rocked a 6.75 ERA in 18.7 regular season innings. Sure, David Murphy was the Texas Rangers rookie of the year last season despite only being there for a few months. But with the First-Year Player Draft coming, there IS one good thing Gagne provided for the Sox... (more) Eric Gagne may actually be less worthless to Boston now
Daisuke Matsuzaka put on the DL
soxaddict.org — Daisuke Matsuzaka was put on the disabled list today after an MRI on his shoulder revealed a mild strain of his right rotator cuff. Dice-K tried his hand at arguing the move, saying that he wanted to pitch through the strain.
