Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 21 (8-18 - 8-24)

Nelson Cruz Called Up to Play for Rangers
Rangers’ OF Nelson Cruz was called up to the majors and will play almost everyday for the rest of the season. In Triple-A, he was absolutely destroying everything he saw with a .342 avg, 37 HR, and 99 RBI. In 96 games last year he hit very differently [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 17 (7-21 - 7-27)

We are about to enter August and also about to see the end of the trade deadline. I really hope the Red Sox don’t trade Manny because for the sake of three of my fantasy teams, I don’t want Pat Burrell in Boston. It’s not that I don’t like Pat Burrell, I love the guy. [...]

Harden, A’s End Sox Win Streak

There’s no arguing that Rich Harden is one of the most talented pitchers in the major leagues. The one thing preventing him from taking the next big step is his inability to stay healthy. He looked very strong however against the Red Sox Friday night, striking out eight in six innings of work while allowing [...]

Lester Shuts Down the A’s

Lefty Jon Lester had one of his most dominant starts in a Red Sox uniform as the Sox beat the A’s 5-0 to improve to 3-1 on the young season. Lester pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing 0 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks to go with 3 strikeouts.
Mr. Potential, Rich Harden, pitched 5 shutout [...]

Red Sox Back in America and Back in Action

Tell me if this sounds familiar…
Game 1, Tues: Bos. vs Oak. Dice-K vs Joe Blanton.
Game 2, Weds: Bos. vs Oak. Jon Lester vs Rich Harden.
Deja vu all over again. Thanks Yogi. Even in the WWE rematches don’t come this quickly, but luckily the Red Sox and Athletics get to roll the dice again. Most likely [...]
