Lackey Looking Sharp; Sox Gain Ground On Yankees; Red Sox 6, Mariners 3 – 8/23/10 Fenway Park

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 [...]

Another Early Hole, Another Loss; Plus Injuries Abound — Red Sox 5, Indians 6 – 8/2/10

What is going on – just when you things might start to get better as players return from the DL, the exact opposite happen.  As has been the usual MO lately, the Sox found themselves in an early 6-1 hole after 6 innings, and a late rally was too little too late.
The Bad — John [...]

Frustrating 10th Inning Leads to Red Sox Loss — Red Sox 4, A’s 5 – 7/20/10

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 2nd [...]
