Daisuke Magical as Red Sox Continue to Roll…

I didn’t see this one coming – 6 scoreless innings from Dasiuke Matsuzaka as he pitched into the 7th inning – – unbelievable!!!  If Matsuzaka is truly healthy and really has his stuff figured out, the Red Sox could be ready to roll right into the Fall Classic in October.  I am giddy! Loved the [...]

Red Sox – Angels – Playoffs Preview?! Let’s Get It On…

The Red Sox host the Angels in a 3-game set this week at Fenway Park.  The Red Sox are the likely AL Wild Card Team with an 84-58 record and a 4.5 game lead over the Texas Rangers, who have now dropped 3 of 4 games.  The Angels are the likely AL West division winner [...]

Red Sox Limp Home Bloodied and Battered… Where Does it Go from Here?

Wow – couldn’t even post on Sunday and I’m not even sure where to start here today.  I don’t think that this 2009 Red Sox club is that bad that it will crawl up into a fetal position, suck its “collective thumbs” and hope the nightmare just passes without anymore tears or fears.  Manager Terry [...]

Ouch – Yankees Rock Smoltz’s World in 13-6 Loss in the Big Apple

John Smoltz’s short-lived tenure with the Boston Red Sox is officially over.  Smoltz gave up 8 earned runs on 9 hits and 4 walks (including 2 HR’s) over 3 1/3 innings, as the Red Sox lost the series opener in the Bronx 13-6.  The Red Sox designated Smoltz for assignment today.  Wow what a disaster [...]

Home Sweet Home – Fenway Park Gives 2 Weekend Wins

It wasn’t a perfect sweep, but at least the Red Sox took 2 out of 3 from the lowly Orioles at Fenway Park this weekend. Jon Lester continued Brad Penny’s pitching dominance from Friday night with a stellar outing of his own on Saturday night.  Lester threw 7 1/3 innings of 2-run ball – he [...]

Starters Failing Miserably – - Should Red Sox Nation Be Worried?

Should Red Sox Nation be worried?  Coming out of the gates in the 2009 2nd half, the Red Sox have lost 3 of 4 games on the road.  The Yankees have won all 4 of their games to move into a tie with the Red Sox atop the AL East with a record of 55-37.  [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka – Taking a Break in Florida

Starter Daisuke Matsuzaka is headed to Fort Myers, Florida to begin a rehab program to help get the pitcher back on track for the 2009 MLB schedule.  It is Matsuzaka’s 2nd stint on the DL in 2009.  Matsuzaka went 18-3 in 2008 with a sprakling 2.90 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. But he has struggled mightily [...]

Smoltz Ready to Return This Week – Where Does That Leave Starting Rotation?

The problem is a good problem.  The Red Sox have too many good starters to go around.  Manager Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein have their work cut out for them over the next month or so. With the return of John Smoltz scheduled for Thursday, June 25th against the Nationals in Washington, DC, it [...]

Braves Hammer Daisuke, Top Red Sox 8-2 @ Fenway Park

This is starting to get old – another atrocious outing from Daisuke Matsuzaka.  We should have known it was going to be a long night when Braves lead-off hitter Nate McLouth stroked a home run to right field on Daisuke’s first pitch of the game.  Daisuke ended up giving up 6 ER on 8 hits [...]

Red Sox Survive 13-Inning Thriller with 5-2 Win over Phillies

After a grueling, tense 3-game sweep over the division-rival Yankees, the last thing the Red Sox needed was an extra inning game on the road in Philadelphia.  Well it happened, so fortunately, the Red Sox emerged victorious with a 5-2 win in 13 innings. The Red Sox looked to have the game wrapped up in [...]
