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 [...]

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 [...]

The Red Sox completed a 2-game sweep of the Orioles with a 7-5 win at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.  Victor Martinez came through with the clutch hit – a 3-run pinch-hit double with 1 out in the bottom of the 7th inning that broke a 4-4 tie. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect top of [...]

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?!  [...]

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 [...]

For the 2nd straight night, the Red Sox bullpen got into trouble, and this time, Jonathan Papelbon couldn’t do anything to clean up the mess.  Ramon Ramirez and Manny Delcarmen failed miserably in the bottom of the 8th inning on Wednesday night, combining to retire only 1 of the 5 batters that they faced.  Ramirez [...]

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 [...]

The Blue Jays roughed up Josh Beckett again, but the Red Sox rallied for a 6-5 win Friday night at Fenway Park.  It was the Red Sox 4th win in 5 games, and their 8th win in 11 games. Beckett struggled with his control all night long – needing 108 pitches to labor through 5 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
