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 [...]

It was a busy day for the Red Sox on Thursday – not all of it good. The Red Sox welcomed reliever Billy Wagner into the clubhouse just 11 months removed from having Tommy John elbow surgery.  After thinking that he may never pitch again, Wagner finds himself joining the Red Sox and one of [...]

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 [...]

The Red Sox completed a much-needed 3-game sweep of the Blue Jays in Toronto with an 8-1 drubbing on Thursday night.  Jon Lester recovered from a shaky 1st inning – a no-out, bases loaded jam diffused with a run-scoring Rod Barrajas double play – to shut down the Blue Jays over the next 7 innings.  [...]

WOW!!!  It didn’t look good there going into the 9th inning, but the Red Sox rallied for 6 runs off of Rangers Closer Francisco Rodriguez to win 8-4 in Arlington.  Unbelievable.  Here’s how the 9th inning played out – David Ortiz lead-off double; Jason Varitek single; Jacoby Ellsbury RBI single that scored Ortiz to cut [...]

All in all, it was a successful series for the Red Sox – taking 3 of 4 games from the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.  After a disastrous end to their 9 game road trip on Sunday – 6 straight losses to the Yankees and Rays, winning more than losing this week was [...]

FINALLY!  The losing streak is over, as the Red Sox defeated the Tigers 6-5 at Fenway Park on Monday night.  WHHEEEWWWWWWW! For a short while there, it looked like Manny Delcarmen was going to be the latest scapegoat for a Red Sox loss.  Delcarmen had replaced starter Brad Penny in the top of the 7th [...]

The Red Sox out-slugged the Orioles 18-10 on Sunday to complete a 3-game weekend series sweep in Baltimore.  The Red Sox scored in every inning except the 5th and 7th innings.  They racked up 23 hits and 7 walks, and struck out just 3 times all game. Newly acquired Victor Martinez led the hitting barrage [...]

The Red Sox free fall continues, even at Fenway Park, but at least they mustered enough energy to pull off the dramatic 8-5 win on Thursday afternoon at Fenway Park.  David “Big Papi” Ortiz, linked to a positive test in the 2003 MLB testing report just 24 hours earlier, delivered the big blow – a [...]
