BOS 11, WAS 3: Bats pummel Nats

Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury each had three RBI and the Boston Red Sox pounded out 17 hits to beat the Washington Nationals, 11-3.

BOS 3, ATL 0: Aces wild

Derek Lowe is one pitcher Boston fans will never forget. After last night's performance on the mound, Josh Beckett will also be in that category sooner rather than later.

Hello from Amsterdam!

Greetings, all. I've reached the Amsterdam leg of my whirl through Europe. It's a fun, quaint city surrounded by canals. I've been trying hard to stay hip to the Sox despite being six hours ahead of eastern time. It seems as if just as I left, David Ortiz heated up, the Sox swept the Yankees and were on fire... now the bats have gone cold.

ATL 8, BOS 2: Demoted?

Daisuke Matsuzaka's first pitch to Nate McLouth only foreshadowed things to come.

FLA 2, BOS 1: Sweep delayed

Ricky Nolasco and Mother Nature stopped the Red Sox from completing a three game sweep against the Marlins.

Poll: Rotation changes afoot

New Poll Question:
With Smoltz ready, Buchholz antsy and Daisuke struggling, where do the Red Sox turn?
  • Smoltz starts in the pen with Bard being sent to AAA
  • Smoltz to the rotation, Dice K to the DL or the pen (Bard to AAA)
  • A Penny deal will go down this week making room for Smoltz
  • Whatever the plan was...Buchholz takes priority. Rock the boat and get him to Boston
  • Wake's a potential All-Star, but he can go to the pen right?

Terry Francona will give us some news today.  Will he show the Red Sox hand dictating their overall rotation strategy going forward or will today's announcement just be a baby step?

As always, new poll is up to the right...vote away and argue it out in the comments.
