Red Sox

From: Fox SportsThe Red Sox are making progress in their quest to sign free-agent first baseman Mark Teixeira, according to a major-league source. MLB Winter Meetings Ken Rosenthal and our MLB crew had you covered at the winter meetings. Check out all the news and notes from Las Vegas. "Headway was being made earlier (Wednesday)," one source said.A rival general manager whose plans could be affect

In a move that can only be described as smart, the Red Sox announced they would not be raising ticket prices for the 2009 season. Red Sox Tom Werner, Red Sox’s chairman: “As stewards of this great franchise, John, Larry and I hold our positions as a kind of a public trust, and from that perspective, a [...]

According to the Red Sox website: Jason Varitek has filed for free agency this week. He may be wanting a leg up in what's probably going to be a disappointing negotiations session. He'll need all the help he can get if he's planning on sticking around another season carrying a whiffle ball bat.

In case you were wondering what Joba was doing the night he got popped for DUI, here are the details.Apparently, Joba was being mocked that night by a guy at the "Night Before Lounge" in Lincoln, Nebraska (pictured right) because he played for the Yankees. Of course the guy was a fan of, you guessed it-- the Red Sux(I honestly cannot stand people who root for that whack ass team).I don't know i

5 years ago, I was inconsolable and heartbroken when the Red Sox lost game 7 to the Skanks. Part of the reason, I’m sure, is the year after year after year of abuse the Sox suffered at the hands of the “Evil Empire”. Another part, was the fact that Grady Little left Pedro in far…too…long…, [...]

Well I guess the bandwagon Rays fans have lost their faith after losing a seven run lead to the Red Sox in game five and losing game six, we were able to purchase tickets for $30 each to tonight’s game seven and there are plenty of tickets still available through ticket brokers. This means the [...]

Injured Josh Beckett pitched a gutsy five innings giving up two runs both on home runs and yes one was to B J Upton who just keeps pounding the ball. The Red Sox have forced a game 7 tonight at 8:07 on TBS. Great news for baseball fans, that’s what you always want a game 7. B [...]

To say that the Boston Red Sox over the last few years have had a flair for the dramatic over the last few seasons, would just be stating the obvious. For some bizarre reason they play their best baseball in the ALCS, once their collective backs are against the wall. They of course came back in the ALCS in 2004 against the New York Yankees after falling behind 3-0 on the way to their first World S

All eyes are on the Red Sox here in Boston...The Tampa Bay Rays have discovered just how difficult it is to knock the Boston Red Sox out of the postseason.Although the Rays have a 3-2 lead as the AL championship series heads back to St. Petersburg, the Red Sox appear to have the momentum after staving off elimination with the biggest postseason rally in nearly 80 years.In Game 6 on Saturday, defen

DATELINE: BOSTON For those of you who don't follow sports - I don't expect you to understand or appreciate this. But you should be warned... There are a lot of overtired people in New England today. The same is true for Red Sox Nation (the term used to capture the immense global following the Boston team has around the Globe.)No matter where you were watching the game - we all stayed up too late

Tampa Bay fans demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm and excitement as the game last night rolled into the seventh inning and Red Sox fans were down 7-0. As a member of Red Sox Nation, you know the game isn’t over until the umpire says it’s over. The determination and high spirits of the players and [...]

Special Thanks to my 2 gray cats, Alexander and Salem, who intently stared at the TV screen during the 9th inning, causing the error that got Youkilis to 2nd base, and the base hit JD Drew hit to score him…. Scattered and Random Thoughts in the Aftermath: HOLY…BUCKETS!!! I am STILL in shock! THAT was one of [...]

The Red Sox, down 7-0 in the 7th inning rallied to score 8 runs in the final three innings to take game 5 in truly heroic fashion. I have to wonder where the Rays are mentally after blowing a seven run lead and whether or not Ortiz and Drew have turned the page offensively. Amazing, truly amazing!Game 6 Saturday in Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays made a statement last night that they are for real. After smashing Tim Wakefield's knuckleball for 3 runs in the opening frame, the Rays continued their onslaught against the Sox bullpen and carried it to a 13-4 win to sweep the two game swing in Boston. Today is a travel day and game five will follow in Tampa Bay featuring a rematch of game 1 with Jim Shields versus Daisuke Mat

…Homeruns that Red Sox pitching has given up in this ALCS. Get out the Fork–and stick it in this team–They…Are…Done… Holy Buckets! What the hell happened in the span of a WEEK? Is this REALLY the same Boston Red Sox team that beat the Angels, who won 100 games in 2008? And exactly what I feared would happen, [...]

This is as bad as it gets for the Red Sox and good as it gets for the Tampa Rays. Rays beat up on the Red Sox 13-4 and take a ALCS 3-1 series lead. The Rays have knocked out three starters in a row, Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, and now Tim Wakefield., the longest lasting [...]

I had a feeling this might happen–everyone was just…a…little…too…confident that Jon Lester was going to win this game, and Matt Garza was going to crash and burn… And of course, The Reverse Lock engages and Jon Lester gets lit up (5 2/3 innings of 8 hit, 5 run ball, while striking out 7 and walking 2. [...]

OUCH! The time has come for all Redsox fans to cross your paws, cross your fingers, and for Tuesday, cross your knuckles!

While walking out of the Trop with a split was more than the Sox could hope for, as Tampa Bay has dominated them there, (They only won 1 game, started by Daisuke no less) I was more surprised that the win came at the hands of a brilliant 7 inning scoreless outing by Daisuke (although [...]

It’s pretty obvious there’s something wrong with Josh Beckett. His fastballs were 92-93 MPH, four miles off his normal speed. He lasted 4 1/3 innings giving up nine hits, eight runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. Three of the hits were home runs. Tampa Rays Scott Kazmir was no better giving up five runs in 4 [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka was the story going seven innings allowing four hits, four walks, and nine strikeouts. It didn’t start exactly pretty when DICE-K walked the first batter of the game. Daisuke Matsuzaka was the story going seven innings allowing four hits. It didn’t start exactly pretty when DICE-K walked the first batter of the game [...]

The Red Sox took care of business in Tampa Bay last night to jump out to an early 1-0 lead in the 2008 ALCS. The game was a hard fought battle between both Matsuzaka and Shields. Both pitchers had some rough patches in the early innings, Matsuzaka due to a rash of walks and Shields due to some timely Sox hitting. As for the Rays bats, they were silent until the latter innings (actually, they were

After 4 days of waiting…about freakin time… Daisuke! Lester! Beckett! Wakefield! There you have it folks–the rotation for the 7 game series that is the ALCS. This seems to make the most sense as well, in terms on rest between starts–with Daisuke and Lester getting 6 days, Josh Beckett gets 5…From Tito: “The reasoning [...]

Last night, the Dodgers and Phillies played game one of the NLCS and everything came down to a fateful sixth inning. Los Angeles went up 2-0 in the top of the first inning, thanks to Manny Ramirez -- again -- with an RBI double; thereafter, Blake DeWitt plated Matt Kemp with an RBI.Derek Lowe had things in control in the sixth inning; however, Shane Victorino reached base on a error off Rafael Fur

Tampa Rays had the biggest turnaround in baseball history; they finished with the worse record in 2007 and had 97 losses. What a difference a year makes. 2008 the Rays finished in first of the AL East and will made it’s first Postseason in team history. The Rays were able to win with solid pitching, [...]

Edit: See update at bottom.The Red Sox are still trying to figure out what their rotation should be for the ALCS. I figured they'd just go Matsuzaka-Lester-Beckett-Wakefield, but apparently they're still undecided:But there is this to consider: If the Red Sox hold Lester out until Game 3, they could pitch him at Fenway Park, where he's been nothing short of brilliant (11-1, 2.49 ERA) this season.

Holy Buckets! What a GREAT game last night! It had all the traits of an instant classic–a nail biting pitchers duel for more than 1/2 of the game, a ace who comes up HUGE for the 2nd time in as many starts, crazy plays, a closer that was not available, and two players [...]

The Red Sox finished off the Angels in the bottom of the 9th inning last night with a two out single by Jed Lowrie that drove in Jason Bay from second. I have to admit, after the Sox gave up a two run single to Torii Hunter I expected much the same as in game 3. Fortunately (for me and other Sox fans), the Red Sox were able to buckle down i the top of the 9th and score in the bottom half.The Red S

Jon Lester may be the best pitcher in baseball right now. He pitched another gem and has not given up an earned run to the Angels. In fourteen innings he has allowed one unearned run, ten hits, three walks, and eleven strikeouts, this is against a team that had the best record in baseball. Red Sox [...]

Since I had no expectations that the Sox would get this far, beating the Angels not once but TWICE in their house, I really cannot be too upset about last night’s loss. Yes, Josh Beckett struggled a TON, barely getting out of the 5th, and throwing 106 pitches, 59 for strikes, and giving up 4 runs on [...]

Moshi & Kibo, the Dog Bloggers and super Red Sox fans, were pondering before today's Red Sox game...if the Red Sox were dogs, what kind of dog would they be?

After losing 8 out of 9 against the Angels, and despite the fact that the Sox have pretty much owned them in the Postseason, I still had my doubts about this series–but last night’s win did a TON to alleviate those apprehensions. And believe me, there were apprehensions. But, not surprising, Jon Lester was brilliant, throwing [...]

Boston Red Sox @ Los Angeles AngelsSeries line: BOS +130, LAA -140Game 1: BOS (Lester) +124 @ LAA (Lackey) -132I know it's been discussed at length, but the difference between the actual records of these two teams and their third-order records really is amazing. In the real world, the Angels won five additional games, but the Red Sox are 18 games ahead in Baseball Prospectus' Adjusted Standings.

Red Sox playoff tickets are for sure the hottest ticket and the most priciest ticket in sports. In a season in which they broke the most consecutive games sold out record I can understand why. Most cases you only alternative to purchase Sox playoff tickets is through ticket brokers such as Stub Hub.With the high [...]

Just some random thoughts as we wait until Wednesday IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT to start the ALDS vs the Angels (10:07pm–Yeah, that is good way to start the postseason….) I know, I know, this weekend meant nothing in the grand scheme of things–But Friday night’s game was a HUGE disappointment. David Pauley did OK–nothing [...]

As the Red Sox continue their spring training relocation dance with Sarasota, it appears that the most viable spots in Lee County for a new Red Sox complex are in Estero. A new spring training complex in Estero makes all the sense in the world.First and foremost, Estero is close to the Coconut Point Hyatt where the Sox brass including Larry Lucchino stay during spring training. No more schlepp

This is getting more and more surreal…. Wild Randomness on the eve of a meaningful series with the Skanks–but not in the way we are used to… The Sox won again, backed by a superb outing, if not WEIRD outing by Jon Lester, where he went 6 innings, giving up a run on 2 hits, [...]

After over a month (He has been out of commission since August 17th) JD Drew was finally back in the lineup, batting 5th and patrolling right field–at least for 4 innings anyway–which is a start. He went 1-2, with an infield single and committed an error in his 1st game back…From JD: “Not bad, a [...]

Last night’s win was a bit of a surprise–it was only Cliff Lee’s THIRD loss of the season–and you never know which Tim Wakefield you are going to get–or, if the offense is going to give him any. But the stars aligned just enough to allow the Sox to squeak by with a win: Tim Wakefield pitched [...]

The Red Sox after beating the Indians and clinching a playoff birth went crazy in celebration and if you didn’t know any better you would think they had just won the world series. They had more of a celebration than the Rays who is making their first postseason in team history. I was very surprised [...]

I do not whether I am happier for the Red Sox clinching another playoff birth or the fact the Yankees won’t be in the postseason for the first time in thirteen years. Although the Rays are likely to win the division it doesn’t really matter to the Sox as they know firsthand that once in [...]

…It just did not happen last night… This was one of those games where everything seemed to line up: Beckett on the mound, a crappy 0-3 fill-in pitcher for Cleveland (he replaced our #4-5 starter, Paul Byrd!) and the Sox were hitting (12 hits in all) BUT, it just seemed like they were always that one [...]

With the last road trip of the Regular Season completed for 2008 (The Sox went 3-3 in that span), The Boston Red Sox will be able to do something they have not done in a while–clinch a spot in the Postseason at home. There are 7 games left to play, and the Sox Magic # stands [...]

Holy Buckets! How does a pitcher do a complete 360 in the span of 3 starts??? September 6th: One of, if not the worst outing of Wake’s career…Against Texas–A 15-8 loss: 1 2/3 Innings pitched, giving up 7 runs on 4 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 1–and using 49 pitches to do it (26 [...]

Apparently, the role of Tim “I pitch REALLY well, but get no run support” Wakefield is now being played by Josh Beckett–and he pitched about as well as anyone could expect, going 8 innings, and only giving up the 1 run, a homer to, who else, Carlos Pena. Speaking of Carlos Pena, a guy I work [...]

Big Papi (3-run blast), Mike Lowell, Jason Bay, and Jacoby Ellsbury (each a solo shot), Jason Varitek and Kevin Youkilis (each a 2-run shot) –in total 6 homers in 1 game, contributing to 10 of the 13 runs the Sox score in last night’s shelling of Ray’s ace, Scott Kazmir (3IP, giving up 9 runs [...]

I stayed up until Mike Timlin came into the game, and then knowing EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, I went to bed. And I awake this morning, and I look at the scores and see that Mike Timlin, who is tied with Kent Tekulve for the most relief appearances ever by a right hander with 1,050, [...]

Once again, the Sox cannot deliver the death blow against a 1/2 decent team (or the Skanks).THIS was the opportunity to get into 1st place for the 1st time since JULY–and this was a cluster from beginning to end: Starting with Vintage Daisuke: 5 innings of 102 pitch ball (61 for strikes), giving up 3 runs [...]

On the day the Sox broke the major league record for consecutive sell outs at 456, it is only fitting they would get a win… And this win moves them to 1/2 game (1 in the loss column) even closer to winning the AL East and getting to the postseason… AND, with Minnesota being off yesterday, they [...]

Even though there was no sweep to be had, the Sox won their 6th series in a row this weekend, thanks to some stellar pitching from Josh Beckett (5 inning of no-run, 4 hit ball, while walking 0 and striking out 7) and last night from Paul Byrd (6 2/3 innings of shut out 3-hit [...]

After 5 tries, the Sox have finally gotten over the whole only winning 2/3 of a series hump–and it was a close one. It took a throwing error from the cookies to get the 9th inning walk off win–but it’s sometimes better to be lucky than good–so we’ll take the win. And with their 82nd win, [...]

Last night’s win caps the 5th series in a row that the Sox have won–but they have swept none of them–Hopefully they will be able to close the deal in today’s contest and finally take care of Baltimore–and if they can’t, that is not good, since Baltimore is dead last in the division, 12 games [...]

With 27 games to go, and 18 of them at home, the Sox got off to a good start, beating the woeful Oreos last night–Let’s just hope they can continue to beat up on them, and everyone else they need to…But I am concerned that the Sox just don’t seem to have that “go for [...]

I know, I said I would be happy if the Sox took 2 out of 3 from the Skanks this week, and the possibility of the Skanks coming back and actually getting to the post season are VERY slim (less than 3% at this point)…BUT… I lied–I wanted the Sox to give the death blow to [...]

Holy Buckets! What a FUN game that was last night! A rout, when you are on the giving end, is always fun, but when it’s the Skanks on the receiving end… And one of the best things about beating the Skanks? Is their commentators, who usually fall all over themselves going on about the Skanks, start [...]

Whew! Not only was that a great game, with a super outcome–last night’s win immediately took the pressure off the Sox, and placed it squarely on the shoulders of the Skankees… There is no way the Skanks can sweep the Sox, and after last nights contest, there seems to be ALOT more wrong with this Skankee [...]

Today is a very important day for the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, the two biggest rivals in sports. It marks the beginning of a three- game series between the two teams. This series may mark the last chance for the Yankees to seriously contend for a playoff spot. So it’s kind [...]

This up-coming series against the Red Sox is huge for both teams, obviously. As much as it has seemed the Yankees were out of it, they’re realistically not. The Red Sox lead the Yankees by only 4.5 games in the Wild Card race, with 6 games remaining against one another Tim Wakefield, RHP (7-8, [...]

I am just SO GLAD the Sox FINALLY did what they should have done about 4-5 loses ago–demoted Clay Buchholz to the minors–to Double A Portland no less. His record with the Sox for the 2008 Campaign? 2-9–with a 6.75 ERA…UGH… This line: 2 1/3 IP, giving up 5 Runs on 3 hits while walking 3 [...]

I know, the results are desirable, so I guess the end justifies the means–but…HOLY BUCKETS… This line is a contradiction, to say the least…5 Innings pitches, throwing 105 pitches!, 60 for strikes, which could account for the FIVE WALKS. He also gave up 6 hits and had 6 strikeouts–but the end result is only: [...]

“LET’S GO RED SOX! LET’S GO RED SOX!” That’s most of what I can remember from my trip to Camden Yards in Baltimore. Yes Baltimore. I thought I was at Fenway Park (in Boston). It was easy to forget who the home team was. Yes, the Orioles, who lost 6-3 [...]

‘Cause it sure SEEMS like the role of Ace for the Boston Red Sox is now being played by Jon Lester. Although, a compelling case CAN be made for the 14-game winner Daisuke, potential to make us all sick to our stomach with the way he gets in and out of trouble, notwithstanding…. After a night [...]

The Boston Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski has been hospitalized and has undergone tests following chest pains. The Hall of Famer was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital and had undergone evaluation and testing. Yastrzemski spokesman Dick Gordon was asked if it was series, he replied “Any time you are in the hospital, it’s got to be [...]

…Not even REMOTELY Priceless… Holy Buckets! Talk about a lost weekend…It’s a DAMN good thing that Friday night was rained out and Clay Buchholz was pushed back to Wednesday, because that certainly would have been loss # 3 for the weekend… In a weekend where the Sox newest starter, Paul Byrd, certainly pitches well enough to win [...]

Priceless… Although the fact that Sox pitching gave up TWENTY runs in 2 out of the 3 games is a rather large concern… Last night’s win was the 12th shutout of the season for the Sox, which ties them with Cleveland for the record in the AL… And Daisuke…was Daisuke, but at least he threw 7 innings, giving [...]

Jon Lester, once again, brings a calm and (almost) drama free win to the Sox, after Tuesday night’s craziness…Going 7.1 innings, he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits (including 1 homer) while walking 1 and striking out 6. He threw 108 pitches, 76 for strikes in the outing. Unfortunately, Mike Timlin (like [...]

One would think that 10 runs in the 1st inning (including not 1, but TWO 3-run shots from David Ortiz) would be enough of a cushion for knuckleballer Charlie Zink… Think again: Charlie gave up 8 runs in 4.1 IP, while walking 1 and striking out 1, throwing 85 pitches, 56 for strikes… One [...]

Wow…How long HAS it been since the Sox won a road trip? April? While I would have liked a better record than 4-3–but we’ll take what we can get… And Josh Beckett came up big when the Sox needed him to, throwing 8 innings of 1-run ball, giving up 7 hits while walking 0 and striking [...]

While we cannot always expect Josh Beckett to be this good, or for newest Red Sox teammate Jason Bay to go 4-5 for every game–when it does happen, it is certainly cause for celebration.Scratch that above–we are Red Sox fans; OF COURSE we expect this kind of perfromance all the time! But Josh Beckett, with 3 [...]

Surprisingly, That Clay Person did not pitch too horribly last night, going 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits (including a homer) while walking 3, throwing a wild pitch, and striking out 4. He threw 93 pitches, 57 for strikes… This loss brings his record to 2-7 for the season–and 0-4 since rejoining [...]

Alex Gordon homered to back six solid innings from Gil Meche as the Royals held off the Red Sox 4-3 in the first of a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium. Meche gave up two runs in the first inning, but allowed just four hits with nine strikeouts in all for his 10th win of the season. Joakim Soria gave up an RBI infield single to Jason Bay in the ninth, but got Sean Casey to fly out with the b

I will refrain from all of the pithy “Welcome to the Jason Bay era” or “It’s the Bay state” stuff….But it certainly looks like Jason Bay is a hot in the arm for what ailed this Red Sox team. I don’t expect him to be able to put up the numbers that Manny put [...]

It looks like MLB has laid down the law for the near-beanball activity at Yankee Stadium and it's not good for the Orioles. Fair, or not fair, Daniel's lack control and emotion may seem to have caught with him.It doesn't matter who you are -- if you're a repeat offender, whether throwing at someone was intentional or not -- you're going to most likely suffer. As with anything in life, once you hav

On Thursday afternoon as the MLB trade deadline loomed, a deal that was once reported as dead to trade Manny, not only has reappeared, but with one change is a done deal. According to MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox has traded slugger Manny Ramirez (as he requested) to the LA Dodgers for left fielder Jason Bay from the Pirates in a three-team deal.Yesterday and then earlier this morning was the first

I have been a Red Sox fan since 1982, a very rabid one since 1999, and a writer of a Red Sox Blog since 2006. And never ONCE, even with all the crazy permutations of this team in the past, been so flummoxed at what is going on with this team… I don’t even know where [...]

I still don’t think it’s going to happen. Manny Ramirez can complain to ESPNDeportes, Fox Sports, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sportsline, Bleacher Report, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN8 “the Ocho” for all the Red Sox care. If they can’t get good value for Manny, they’re not going to trade him. And why should they? For all the ridiculousness, he’s still hitting home-runs, driving runners in, an

..It was the 1st no-hitter at Fenway against the Sox since 1958 that would have been tougher to swallow… Does anyone now the best place to send something to Dustin Pedroia? I wanted to send a fruit basket or something, since he saved the Sox bacon last night, breaking up John Lackey’s (John LACKEY!!!!) no-hitter 1 [...]

…From Daisuke was a BIT too much too much to ask for huh? After his very good start last week of I guess I was expecting that perhaps he had found the groove that eluded him. Yeah, right, think again… Last night’s line? 5+ (including FIVE BATTERS in the 6th–without getting an out…), throwing 91 pitches (59 [...]

Well, I was right when I said each team would win one–but as far as the Sox winning two of the 3–not so much. Although I do believe that the Sox had NO business losing the game on Friday night–there always seems to be at least ONE of those fricken games–a 1 run loss, or [...]

While the box score and the pitching lines will not reflect it–this was a much more tense game than meets the eye. Clay Buchholtz, throwing 99 pitches (63 for strikes) and going only 5.1 innings and giving up 3 runs on 7 hits (including 2 homers), while walking 2 and striking out 7. As always, the [...]

The number of Red Sox fans at the game last night was embarrassing. I fully expect to see those same people wearing Cubs jerseys next year during interleague play. Read my extended rant here. Back to the game: Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester of Tacoma went 7-1/3 innings and former Mariner farm hand Jason Veritek hit a two-run homer as Boston beat the M’s 4-0. Big ups to The Mitten’s brother-in-law

Here’s what you need to know for the Red Sox/Mariners game tonight: Red Sox (57-43, 2nd in AL East) | Mariners (38-60, 4th in AL West) Pitching Matchup: Jon Lester (7-3, 3.38) vs. Jarrod Washburn (4-8, 4.83) Starting Lineup: Red Sox Mariners Jacoby Ellsbury, LF Ichiro Suzuki, RF Dustin Pedroia, 2B Willie Bloomquist, CF J.D. Drew, RF Raul Ibanez, LF Manny Ramirez, DH Adrian Be

Beginning today, the Mariners will host the Red Sox for a three-game set at Safeco Field. Up until their 2004 World Series Championship, I readily enjoyed Boston coming to Seattle and watching the home town nine dismantle the Sox.That version of Red Sox Nation was tolerable and even a little endearing. Its anguish and self-loathing was somewhat justified. Even though they had won five series champ

Boston Red Sox swept the AL West champion Angels in the Division Series, Game 3 win by a score of 8-6.

MLB commisioner Bud Selig will have more to think about than how he can promote the MLB in Asia. After Tuesday’s All-Star game, it’s become painfully clear the MLB desperately needs a new third league. The simple AL/NL combination will no longer suffice and a third “Crybaby” league needs to be added for the [...]

While it’s not technically the 1st 1/2 of the season, as the Sox have already played 97 games, its close enough.  So at this 1/2 way point, time to do some assessments: They are and are 57-40 at the break, which translates into a .588 winning % and the 4th best team in the bigs. Not to horrible. [...]

Here’s one for all the Sox fans in the house !!! Even though I’ll admit to liking the Sox (as my AL team of choice), this video is pretty hilarious !!

How come I never get to see these kinds of games??? Sure, I get to see the one run losses, or the nail biter Jonathan Papelbon-giving-up-hits-and-barely-squeaking-on-by stuff…But when there is a potential TRIPLE PLAY and 23 hits, it’s when I am not able at actually watch the festivities…. And this game had BOTH of these. I cannot [...]

Kevin Youkilis drove in four runs and Dustin Pedroia and Manny Ramirez each plated three as the Red Sox dismantled the Twins 18-5 at Fenway Park. The BoSox collected 23 hits, drove in seven runs in the seventh inning and scored four times in both the third and the fifth frames. Youkilis and Kevin Cash homered in the win. Every Boston starter had a hit and a run scored, and Brandon Moss was the

When I came home from my stepdaughter’s All-Star Game, the score was 5-2, so I went about my evening stuff and when I looked again, the Sox has scored 4 runs in the 8th inning and they were up 6-5. So I sat and watched Jonathan Papelbon get his 27th save of the season–of course, [...]

  Yesterday at Boston, the Red Sox went into a pitcher’s game with the Twins as nobody could score until the 8th inning when Manny Ramirez resurrected Boston’s hopes and won the game with an RBI single that drove Dustin Pedroia all through the four bases.  Frustration was the dominant factor for both teams along the game [...]
