Red Sox Have Mental Edge Over Angels; Scioscia, Fuentes & Co. Cry Babies…

Wah, wah, wah… That’s the noise you heard coming from the Angels dugout after the Red Sox rallied for a 3rd time to win 9-8 in the 9th inning at Fenway Park.  Gimme a break – don’t put your team in a position to lose, and then you don’t have to bitch about “bad umpiring”. [...]

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 [...]

Rays Officially Give Up; Red Sox Sweep Rays @ Fenway Park

Ouch… Looks like the Rays have officially given up.  The Red Sox swept the Rays on Sunday (3-1; 4-0), sending the Rays to their 11th straight defeat.  The Rays now trail the Yankees by 19.5 games in the AL East race and the Red Sox by 12.5 games in the AL Wild Card race.  This [...]

Red Sox Trying to Split Series Against White Sox in Chicago This Afternoon

The Red Sox continue their weekend series against the White Sox in Chicago.  Here’s a brief re-cap: Friday 9/4 – White Sox 12, Red Sox 2.  The White Sox pounded out 12 runs and 20 hits against Paul Byrd and Junichi Tazawa in the game’s 1st 4 innings.  Tazawa’s WHIP is now a hefty 2.05?!  [...]

Mission Accomplished – Red Sox Win Series Over Rays in Tampa

As it good as it gets in Tampa for the Red Sox – – the Red Sox defeated the Rays 6-3 on Thursday’s get away day, and took 2 of 3 from the Rays in Tampa.  It was a total team effort. Clay Buchholz toughed out a rough 1st inning in which he allowed 2 [...]

Lester, Wagner, Papelbon Propel Red Sox to Big 8-4 Win Over Rays

That loud noise you heard Tuesday night in Tampa was a huge collective sigh of relief as the Red Sox beat the Rays 8-4 in Tampa for only their 2nd win there this season.  It wasn’t easy.  Leading 7-2 heading to the bottom of the 8th inning, the usually reliable Hideki Okajima didn’t retire any [...]

Roller Coaster Ride of a Win for Red Sox Over White Sox

Jon Lester took another frustrating no decision on Tuesday night at Fenway Park.  Lester thought he got out of a 2nd and 3rd, 1 out jam in the top of the 7th inning when he struck out Alexei Ramirez for what should have been the 3rd out.  But the ball bounced away from Jason Varitek [...]

Clay Buchholz & Jose Contreras Awful in Red Sox 12-8 Pounding on Monday Night @ Fenway Park

For the 2nd time this year, Clay Buchholz was staked to a big lead and couldn’t complete the requisite 5 innings pitched to qualify for the win.  In Monday night’s 12-8 win over the White Sox, the Red Sox rallied to take a 9-4 lead after 4 innings of play.  But Buchholz got into trouble [...]

Beckett Sabathia Pitcher’s Duel Doesn’t Live up to Hype…

What a disappointing Sunday night baseball game – the pitcher’s duel between Beckett & Sabathia turned into a slugfest won by the Yankees 8-4.  The Yankees took 2 of 3 from the Red Sox over the weekend at Fenway Park and dropped the 2nd place Red Sox 7 1/2 games back in the AL East [...]

Is Terry Francona to Blame for 20-11 Red Sox Loss?

Crazier things have happened, but believe it or not, the 20-11 Yankees win over the Red Sox on Friday night at Fenway Park wasn’t as much of a blow out as one might think.  While the Yankees blasted Brad Penny and 4 Red Sox relievers for 20 runs (19 earned) on 23 hits and 5 [...]
