John Lackey looked sharp and this time, the Red Sox bullpen didn’t blow his 3-run lead.  Lackey surrendered just 3 runs (2 earned) in his 8 innings of work.  He scattered 6 hits and 2 walks over the outing, but racked up 10 K’s in some big situations.  That also makes 2 out of 3 [...]

Win #14 for Clay Buchholz was a HUGE one for the Red Sox.  Not only did it help end the Red Sox get off to a good start on their upcoming homestand, it also helped them keep pace with the Yankees and Rays who both won on Tuesday night.  Buchholz tossed 7 scoreless innings, scattering [...]

It looked like the Red Sox had put Thursday’s horrific 9th inning loss behind them, as they staked ace Josh Beckett to an early 8-2 lead after 3 1/2 innings.  But then the wheels came off and the Red Sox ended up losing 10-9 in 11 innings.  Is this the beginning of the end for [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka stepped up big time in the Red Sox 6-2 win over the Indians at Fenway Park on Thursday.  The win helped the Red Sox avoid losing the mid-week series to the Indians, which would have been a devastating blow as the Red Sox gear up for the big 4-game series against the Yankees [...]

I am starting to have some serious doubts about this 2010 Red Sox squad.  I can’t remember the last time a Red Sox team in recent memory blew a 5-run lead in the 9th inning.  So how did it all go so wrong?
John Lackey probably worked 8 of the best innings that he’s worked all [...]

Not the way the Red Sox wanted to start the 2nd half – with a 7-2 disappointing loss to the Rangers at Fenway Park.  It really makes you wonder if the Red Sox will be able to hold on and stay close enough before the big guns get back.
A 6-run 1st inning did in Tim [...]

The Red Sox defeated the Orioles 3-2 at Fenway Park on Friday night.
The Good – Tim Wakefield – what a great start for the struggling righty.  He pitched 8 strong innings, scattering 7 hits and giving up just 2 earned runs.  Great job, Tim!
The Good – Jonathan Papelbon pitched a perfect 9th inning with 2 [...]
