Dustin and Kelli Pedroia are officially parents!

Meanwhile, second baseman Dustin Pedroia went back to Boston before Tuesday's tilt to be with his wife, Kelli, for the birth of their first child.

The team has not set a date for Pedroia's return.

"I told him his first responsibility is Kelli and that child," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said, ( Read more... )

Today an EMT thought I was dying.

I wasn't, actually. I've reenacted many times before, and I wasn't even wearing the corset today - I was perfectly fine. Yes, I was sweating, and therefore I had to wipe my forehead a lot. And the reason I may have seemed a bit dizzy? I didn't have a real lunch. I drank plenty of water and made sure to limit my ( Read more... )

It was a quiet, uneventful off-day today. We did, however, get the news that Coco, Kielty and Schill are all going to Japan. No word yet on Lugo yet, though. I guess we'll see how that worked out when we get the final Japan roster tomorrow.

Nothing really new to report except for an article on Bryan "Colgate" Corey on MLB.com. He grew on me last ( Read more... )

I'm back in my dorm room, and luckily I checked my Friends' List when my roommate was out of the room. I actually yelped over some news.

You see,

Today the Globe ran an article on Jacoby Ellsbury. Now there really wasn't anything we didn't know about Jacoby before - it covers his heritage, his off-season and his reaction to possibly being traded. What caught my eye, though, was this:

"I talked to [fellow Sox prospect] Jed Lowrie because he was mentioned in the trade. We were like, 'Get your ( Read more... )

Curious as to who those prospects are that I've been talking about recently? The Globe's decided to introduce them to everyone. Now Coco Crisp isn't a prospect and everyone should know who Jacoby, Lester and Buchholz are, but all the others are here, too. (This article pleased me by informing me that Clay is being considered untouchable in the ( Read more... )

So the big news today is that Jacoby decided to hire Scott Boras as his agent. At first I was stunned - how could such a nice kid hire someone like that? Then I read this comment on the Globe's discussion boards:

The key thing that happened yesterday is Ellsbury signing with Boras. That's HUGE. The Twins do NOT want a Boras client on their roster ( Read more... )

Oh, God, it might be happening...

There's some news on the Sox community that entails that we might really give Jed to Minnesota. Actually, the full deal would involve Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. A part of me is quite depressed about this, but at the same time I'm relieved to not see Jacoby Ellsbury and Clay Buchholz in ( Read more... )

I didn't think I'd be using this icon again this year. I guess I was wrong.

Okay, so it's pretty unlikely that we'll end up with Santana. We know this. But now there's a bit of a possibility that we might try to give them my pet prospect, Jed Lowrie.

Got further confirmation today that the Twins want Clay Buchholz, Jacoby Ellsbury and prospects for ( Read more... )

Well, there's lots of good news to go around today! First off, Curt Schilling has pretty much officially resigned with Boston - he'll play one last season with the Red Sox, which is delightful to hear. Secondly, Youk got what he deserved today - a Gold Glove for his work at first base this season. He was also wearing his Bengals hat, too - I feel ( Read more... )
