What a comeback. The Red Sox are officially en fuego and ready to wreck Philadelphia.
- No one needed that hit more than Jacoby Ellsbury, who put the finishing touches on a furious rally in the 9th against Chris Perez and the Cleveland Indians. (Jacoby Ellsbury double caps dramatic 9th-inning rally)
- Jose Iglesias just wants a chance to prove himself. He’s never hid the fact that he feels like he should be a major leaguer, and showed why this weekend. (Jose Iglesias confident at big-league level)
- Lately, John Farrell’s been throwing caution to the wind when it comes to pitch counts for his starters. Pitch, baby, pitch! (What’s Up With The Red Sox And These Pitch Counts?)
- Terry Francona’s Indians are starting to look like a facsimile of the Red Sox teams of old, and Mike Aviles is quite content with that. (Aviles happy with Tribe role in return to Fenway)
- I know it’s a precautionary thing, but a sore collarbone, Clay Buchholz? That’s not nearly enough of an excuse to warrant Alfredo Aceves starting. (Buchholz scratched, Aceves to start Monday)
- Michael Bourn knows – you can be a coveted free agent all you want, but when that pick compensation kicks in, it’s gonna make things tough for you. (Michael Bourn’s lessons for Jacoby Ellsbury)
- The camoflage jerseys for Memorial Day are a nice touch, but they belie a sad trend – the loss of the real meaning of the day. (MLB Goes Camo, patriotism blends into background)
The most amazing part of that game-winner…
@bacowett I’m just trying to get over it NOT being a first pitch ground ball to the right side.
