The Red Sox have hit a rough patch of late and after losing two out of three to both the lowly Seattle Mariners and rival Tampa Bay Rays the Sox find themselves trailing the New York Yankees by a half game in the A.L. East. Ironically it has been the Red Sox bats and not…
The New York Yankees came to town Friday tied with the Red Sox atop the A.L. East, but left Sunday finding themselves looking up at the Red Sox once again. The Red Sox relinquished the top spot in the division for the first time since the middle of June after Jon Lester and the boys…
The Sox picked up a series split last night after falling to the Indians 7-3 at Fenway Park behind the efforts of once friend of the program Justin Masterson. Masterson went 6 strong innings giving up 3 runs while striking out 9 Red Sox batters, improving to 3-0 in four career starts against his former…
Looks like Timmy boy will have to wait for his next start (Monday at Minnesota) to gather win number 200. The newly turned 45 year old yielded 3 runs on 5 hits while collecting a no decision in the Sox 4-3 walk off win last night at Fenway. Wake was the story early but Ellsbury…
Twitter has let me down of late (doesn’t help trying to break trades after a couple cocktails either), but word on that beast is that last year’s American League ERA leader, Clay Buchholz, has a stress fracture in his back and is likely to miss the remainder of the season. I do not believe this…
The All-Star game is behind us and now it is time to look towards the MLB trade deadline. Theo has made it clear that he will be looking for an OF bat prior to July 31 and if I had my choice that guy would be Hunter Pence. Pence may not be as sexy of…
Reader advisory: These grades are based off how these players have performed based on the expectations I had for them going into the season. Pretty pumped to be on the giving end of some grades as opposed to the receiving. Catcher: B Jarrod Saltamacchia/ Jason Varitek: Despite a slow start Salty has been a pleasant…
The Red Sox have had a little case of the J.D. Drews spreading throughout the clubhouse with with the likes of Crawford, Buchholz, and most recently Lester finding themselves on the the Disabled List. I attended the game Tuesday night and I almost thought I was watching a game from last season with Darnell McDonald…
Let me start off by saying I do not envy Tito’s position right now. Ortiz has been one of the best hitters in the American League this year and you obviously can’t sit him for like 6 straight series, the offense has been struggling during this NL tour, and you would have to be deranged…
Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of inter league play, watching the Mariners battle the Marlins just doesn’t do it for me, but that’s an argument for a different day. With that being said, every rule has an exception and the upcoming series between the Sox and Phils at Citizens…
Padres take two out of three from Sox after their 5-1 victory today. Not much to report here, Lackey pitched and there were like 16 rain delays. Lester goes on Friday in Blitzburgh. P.S. Lackey has to be the only pitcher in the bigs who can give up 5 runs in a hurricane
