Jon Lester went 4 innings on Sunday pitching the Red Sox to an easy 6-1 win over the Orioles.  He did not have his best command – 4 walks – but he allowed just 1 ER and 1 hit while striking out 2.  It was his 1st win of the spring. Dustin Pedroia had 2 [...]

The Red Sox could be close to signing veteran starter Hiroki Kuroda to a short-term deal.  Kuroda would fill in the 4-5 slot along side Daniel Bard and after Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester.  Kuroda is durable despite being 36-years old – he has made at least 30 starts in each of the [...]

GM Ben Cherington has all but said the Red Sox will not go after a big name starting pitcher free agent like C.J. Wilson or Mark Buehrle.  So does that mean Daniel Bard is a “lock” to become a starter in 2012?  We’ll have to see how it all plays out, but that could be [...]

What really happened and what really brought about the Red Sox September swoon in which they blew a 9-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays to fail to make the post-season for the 2nd year in a row?  These are 2 questions for which we’ll probably never really  know the truth. The Boston Globe addressed [...]

Plain and simple – the future is still bright for the Red Sox organization.  Despite the monumental collapse in which the Red Sox lost 20 of their final 27 games to become the 1st major league team to blow a 9-game September lead and miss the post-season.  Despite the parting of ways with 8-year manager [...]

The Yankees used a 3-run rally off of Alfredo Aceves and Daniel Bard in the 7th inning to take the rubber game of the 3-game series 4-2.  The win pushed the Yankees back within one half game of the Red Sox for 1st place in the AL East race. Jon Lester labored through 5 innings [...]

The Red Sox players had very little impact in the A.L.’s 5-1 loss to the N.L. in last night’s All-Star Game.  As we discussed yesterday, the Red Sox sent 6 players to the mid-summer classic. Adrian Gonzalez started at 1B and batted 3rd for the A.L. squad.  Gonzalez accounted for the lone A.L. run with [...]

The Red Sox will have 6 representatives at tonight’s All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz were both voted in as starters to the A.L. squad. Josh Beckett and Jon Lester were named as pitching All-Stars, but since Lester is on the DL, he will not be pitching in [...]

The Red Sox finished the 1st half of 2011 on a nice 6-game winning streak which left them with the best record in the A.L. at 55-35.  The Red Sox lead the Yankees by 1 game in the race for 1st place in the AL East.  Only the Philadelphia Phillies (57-34) have a better record [...]

Jon Lester led the Red Sox past the Phillies 5-2 with a solid 7 scoreless innings.  He allowed just 2 hits and 2 walks in the win.  Bobby Jenks allowed 2 runs in the 9th inning, prompting Manager Terry Francona to go with Jonathan Papelbon to close out the game.  Papelbon retired the only 2 [...]
