Correct: "JD Martinez is officially a member of the Red Sox" Wrong: "He's the first Red Sox ever to..." Correct: "He's the first Red Sox player ever to..." And so on. Why is this so hard for people to grasp? I agree with you guys, but I could swear like 10 years ago I saw something about this very subject on one of the NESN pre-game shows and they said the official usage is "Red Sox" as in "JD Martinez hits his first HR as a Red Sox." |

I got home right as it ended The dj playing "Let It Go" when the Yankees coach refused to leave the field was a great touch. |

On MLB network, Pedro just got on the ground to demonstrate why he thought Austin's slide was dirty and why hitting him was justified. Pedro is the greatest. |
