Now Red Sox Injuries Taking Their Toll

Bad pitching, bad hitting, 5-game losing streak.  What else can go wrong, you ask?  Well, how about Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron on the DL? Ellsbury is still dealing with a rib injury suffered in a collision last weekend in Kansas City.  He was placed on the disabled list today retroactive to April 12th.  So [...]

What is Going On? Rays Sweep Red Sox in 4-Game Set @ Fenway Park

What is going on?  I really thought that the return home to play at Fenway Park would help the Red Sox get back on track early in the season.  It actually seems like it made it worse as the Rays swept the Red Sox in 4 straight games at Fenway.  All of the speculation about [...]

Bad Day for Red Sox Pat Burrell Propels Rays to 2 Wins at Fenway Park

It was a bad night for the Boston Red Sox as they dropped 2 games to the AL East division rival Tampa Bay Rays in a matter of hours.  In the completion of the suspended Friday night game, Pat Burrell stroked a 2-run HR off of Manny Delcarmen with 2 outs in the top of [...]

Red Sox-Rays Suspended 1-1 Tie on Friday Night

The Red Sox and Rays had their Friday night game suspended after 8 and one-half innings of play.  A steady down pour forced the umpiring crew to call the game.  The game will be finished before the start of tonight’s game at Fenway Park.  More rain in the forecast has thrown that into question as [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka Looking Good… Actually Great!

Look out Red Sox fans, Daisuke Matsuzaka is looking pretty nasty these days.  Dice-K tossed 6 shutout innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday night, overwhelming the Buffalo Bison with some nasty pitches.  He gave up 3 hits and 1 walk during his stint.  He also had 3 K’s.  57 of his 86 pitches were for [...]

Red Sox Glad to Return to Fenway Park After .500 Road Trip

The Red Sox will certainly be happy to return home to play at Fenway Park in Boston after a 3-3 road trip.  The Red Sox dropped the series finale to the Twins in Minnesota on Thursday afternoon 8-0.  Ouch. The bats were bad – only 6 hits and no runs.  Dustin Pedroia had 3 of [...]

Lackey, Top of Order Propel Red Sox to 6-3 Win over Twins

John Lackey turned in another solid performance as he picked up his 1st win in a Red Sox uniform in the 6-3 win over the Twins at Target Field this afternoon.  Lackey worked into the 7th inning, giving up just 2 ER on 7 hits and 4 walks.  While his control wasn’t as sharp as [...]

Red Sox Still Looking to Find Way in 2010

The Red Sox fell to 3-4 on the season with a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins in the “grand opening” of Target Field on Monday afternoon.  Jon Lester was out of sync – 5 innings pitched, 4 ER, 9 hits, 3 walks and 5 K’s.  It was an off day for Lester who usually [...]

We’ll Take 3-3 Start after Inconsistent Week

Guess we’ll take the 3-3 Red Sox start after an inconsistent week against the Yankees and Royals.  After the Red Sox bullpen blew the game on Friday night, it was big for the Red Sox to rebound with 2 wins on Saturday and Sunday.  And the bats finally came alive! Josh Beckett rebounded after a [...]

Red Sox Bullpen Wastes Good Start from Tim Wakefield, Red Sox Lose 4-3

Not a good trend, as the Red Sox bullpen continues to struggle early in 2010.  After Tim Wakefield staked his team to a 3-2 lead after 7 innings, Hideki Okajima and Daniel Bard couldn’t hold down the fort as the Red Sox lost to the Royals 4-3.  Wakefield scattered 6 hits and 1 walk during [...]
