What a weekend – any of the 3 games could have gone the other way, so it was HUGE for the Red Sox to take the series from the Tigers over the weekend at Fenway Park.  Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the frustrating Friday loss to the 2 walk-off wins [...]

John Lackey kept his former club in check for a 2nd time in 2010, and the Red Sox pushed across 4 late runs in order to pull off the 4-2 win over the Angels in Anaheim. The Good — Lackey matched Jered Weaver pitch for pitch, giving up just 2 ER on 7 hits and [...]

That was a tough loss on Tuesday night.  We had double the hits that the A’s did, yet still lost 5-4 in 10 innings.  So painful… That “phantom” balk call in the 10th inning on Ramon Ramirez clearly set up the game-winning single by Kevin Kouzmanoff.  If the balk doesn’t move Daric Barton over to [...]

The Red Sox defeated the Blue Jays 3-2 on Sunday to win the rubber game of the 3-game weekend series in Toronto.  At 51-37, the Red Sox trail the Yankees by 5 games for 1st place in the AL East and the Rays by 3 games for the AL Wild Card lead. The Good — [...]

The Rays completed a 3-game sweep of the Red Sox in Tampa with a 6-4 win on Wednesday night.  The Red Sox have now lost 4 straight games and they have fallen 4.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East race and 2.5 games behind the Rays in the AL Wild Card race.  Not [...]

After getting to “un-hittable” Ubaldo Jiminez, the Red Sox felt like it was their game to win on Wednesday night.  For 8 innings, it played out that way, but then Jonathan Papelbon ran into trouble in the bottom of tte 9th inning, and just like that, the Red Sox had dropped a game they should [...]

It was a rough start for the Red Sox on their 5-game road trip, as the squad dropped 2 of 3 games to the Tigers in Detroit over the weekend.  After winning Friday and losing a game they should have won on Saturday after blowing a 6-1 lead, the Red Sox didn’t look remotely ready [...]

Back-to-back excellent starts enabled the Red Sox to sweep the Blue Jays in Toronto this week.  Jon Lester tossed 7 scoreless innings, holding the Blue Jays powerful offense to just 1 hit and 2 walks during his outing.  Lester struck out a season-high 11 batters.  It was by far Lester’s best outing of the 2010 [...]

Clay Buchholz is once again settling in, showing the Red Sox brass that he can be a consistent starting pitcher for years to come.  The Red Sox had taxed their bullpen in a tense weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend, and then again during Monday night’s slugfest in which Josh Beckett lasted [...]

It wasn’t the way the Red Sox drew it up.  The Red Sox took a 4-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning and Tim Wakefield was cruising along after a rocky 1st inning.  But then he and Hideki Okajima struggled in the top of the 7th inning and before you knew it, the Orioles [...]
