Balloting has gotten underway for the 2008 MLB All-Star Game to be held at Yankee Stadium. Let’s get voting to make the Boston Red Sox have a huge presence at our hated rival’s stadium. Make sure that you include Jacoby Ellsbury on your list by putting him in the write-in category.

Do you think the MLB.com beat writer for the Rays is a little overconfident?

This is a joke right

Curt Schilling checks in over at 38 Pitches and talks about the great starting pitching the Red Sox are getting.

Red Sox CEO/President Larry Luchhino will deliver the main address at Boston University’s commencement and also be honored with a honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

Here is the latest episode of Planet Papelbon for your enjoyment.
