It’s been a while since the Red Sox hit a plethora of homers, it seemed. Then last night happened and I was more than pleased. So many dingers, it was like Oprah came to Seattle: “You get a homer! And you get a homer! You get a homer too! Everyone gets a...

This is why we hate west coast road trips so much. The team can do so much better…but they just don’t. It’s infuriating. Awesome O’Clock came and went, but the Red Sox couldn’t back John Lackey on a night where he was striking out nearly...

87 games into the season and the Boston Red Sox have the best record in baseball. Do you want to re-read that? Do you remember how many games the Red Sox won in all of 2012? They won a derisory 69 games while almost losing one hundred. The entire season was an...

The #Lacktators fan club is accepting members. Don’t wait any longer – join today and watch as 2013 becomes even more awesome. And at the forefront of that fan club, John Lackey is having one hell of a 2013. Last night was just another gem to add to the...

The Red Sox are the first American League team to reach 50 wins. Yeah, the view’s pretty clear from way up there, isn’t it? A walk-off error? The Red Sox will take it. It clinched a series win over the division rival Toronto Blue Jays, and helped widen the...

Let’s just stop and talk about the AL East for a second. The American League East, in all its greatness, has all FIVE teams with a record over .500, and all of them are within 7 games of first place with roughly 80 games to go. How can you not be excited for any...

Back home and back to business, right? The Red Sox looked revitalized last night, routing the Colorado Rockies. This was the first time the Rockies had been to Fenway Park since the 2007 World Series. And Boston brought out the fireworks for this special occasion....

Ah, interleague play. A delightful little thing. Where the traditionalists love to tote the pitcher batting and – what? The Colorado Rockies are coming to Fenway? Really? YES! No ridiculous pitcher PAs! David Ortiz is a full-time player! Let’s get this...

The Red Sox won a game in Detroit, right? Because it really feels like they got swept. One of those series that really gets under your skin. The fans, much less the players, won’t forget Sunday’s game for a while. The Red Sox were over-managed and badly...

Not the greatest of starts for the team last night. But there’s three more games left in the series – plenty of time to bounce back. All it took was one bad inning, and eight solid ones were made meaningless. Not the best of days – or weeks, for...
