Remember a couple of days ago, when we wrote about how sometimes the best help a team can get comes from an enemy? Well, last night it just came from a different enemy, one you usually can’t count on getting help from.
Paps was in the spirit last night. Sox fans will just hope he gets [...]

If we’re reading the script right, tonight features a lanky Texan hosting a guy named Boof? Is this a cut-rate porn flick or an AL playoff chase, anyway?
Just in case you thought Josh might not be from Texas, there you go.
Regardless of bad names, Boston game against Minnesota this evening still has surprisingly far-reaching [...]

OK Clay Buchholz, here’s the deal: The Sox need a win. They need one bad. You’re already well on your way to becoming a true Boston hero. If you can come through with another big performance on the hill, you’ll be up at Roger Clemens like levels three starts into your career, and that’s saying [...]
