After the marathon game on Sunday in which our beloved Red Sox fell to the White Sox 6-5 in 19 grueling innings, we are definitely ready for the All-Star break and tonight’s game. The first half of the season has been tremendously exciting, complete with triple plays, walk-off home runs, milestone achievements and the continuing steroid controversy off the field. If you weren’t paying close attention, it was easy to miss something.

In my efforts to keep up with the game and any Red Sox details I may have missed, I’ve found a few podcasts to keep me up to speed. 360Pitch is an excellent source for news and information for everything baseball.

A podcast I listen to for Red Sox updates and a slightly irreverent look at the game is the Best Red Sox Podcast, featuring three guys from Connecticut; John Corn, Ron Gordon and Randy Flanagan. They are certainly a treat and I recommend them to all my Boston friends.

Another podcast I came across while searching PodZinger for baseball podcasts is Baseball Geeks. This one is for Fantasy Baseball enthusiasts with rumors, sleeper picks, overachievers and underachievers. If you are looking for a leg up in your league, this is the podcast for you.

So there are my favorite baseball podcasts. If you have any you listen to regularly, I would love to hear about them. We still have half a season to go, and I don’t want to miss anything.
