We’ve seen this once before, a completely Red Sox-crazed country, with all of New England doing backflips to pay homage to the city and team that brought it joy.
Wait, this guy is our closer!?! God help us, he’s just impossible not to love, isn’t he?
Well, strap yourself in folks, here we go again:
- The [...]

We were recently part of a blog roundtable hosted by Red Sox Monster and MassLive’s inimitable Dan Lamothe, so we thought we’d share our answers in preview of tonight’s Sox-Angels lid lifter. For those interested in the full roundtable answers, which also included bloggers from Red Sox Stat Guy, Sox & Dawgs and The Joy [...]

We bring this to light because we certainly didn’t know until this AP piece about this afternoon’s playoff rally at City Hall Plaza.
OK, so this picture is from 2004, but can you imagine how distracting and deflating it might be if it happens again, well, right now at City Hall Plaza?

Just when you thought the Daisuke Matsuzaka circus was calming down a little bit, the whole world reminds you that, well, there’s more to the world of baseball than America.
Dice-K’s loving the Pan-Pacific spotlight, even when it involves bizarre mascots.
That’s right Red Sox Nation, your Japanese contingent still sees Dice-K as a universal savior, [...]

Editor’s note: OK, so Sacha Baron Coen has been an absolute ass, and his agents have blown off a few (cough, cough 42) phone calls to get him to actually do this segment for us here at SoxNest. So, instead I’ve found another local stand-in to study the art of being Ali G, then interview [...]

Here’s a note that was brought to my attention by the good folks over at Surving Grady, perhaps its time to take stock in the spread of Red Sox Nation. According to the Grady-ites, a Baltimore weblog (The Loss Column) is planning a “Take Back the Yard” night when the Orioles host the Sox at [...]
