Customer Reviews
Very solid.
An interesting and informative analysis of the Red Sox.
good weekly summaries
It's nice to hear the writers sum up their thoughts for the week. Sometimes the storylines of baseball can get fragmented by the hour-by-hour blog posts, minute-by-minute tweets, and day-to-day business items (Dice-K is scheduled to pitch 3 innings, Lowell got three at-bats in a split-squad game, etc., etc.). So the podcast is a good way to get the main threads in one nice chunk, with the writers expressing their personal opinions and assessments a little more freely, it seems, than they do in their published articles. Also, the host does a nice job of setting them up with a topic and then letting them run with it. It will be interesting to see how the podcast develops once the season gets underway.
Informative, interesting
This is a top-notch podcast featuring the best sports writers covering the Red Sox today. Definitely worth listening to if you are a fan or are just interested in what's going on with the Sox.
