So the clubhouse fell apart after the worst September collapse in baseball history, and if it weren’t for the MLB deciding to add a second wildcard, we may not be…
Via Gordon Edes: Hopes that Carl Crawford’s experience with the Boston Red Sox would take an immediate turn for the better after a disappointing first season were dashed with the announcement by Red Sox GM Ben Cherington on Tuesday that the left fielder underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist. Cherington did not rule out…

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.

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…
