That was an impressive doubleheader by the Red Sox. Granted, they’ve had the Rays’ number all year, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. I just like them beating the Rays, that’s all… I think it’s the greatest thing when Jonny...

Xander Bogaerts was promoted to Triple-A last week. If you’re even a casual fan of the Boston Red Sox, you’re probably aware of this move. In an age where prospect hype is often hard to contain, it becomes difficult to appropriately qualify how good the truly elite...

Disappointing end to the road trip. The Sox just can’t beat the Orioles nowadays and that’s an extremely frustrating conundrum. Luck, doubles and the Baltimore Orioles. That just about sums up the series, and Sunday’s contest was a perfect example of...

Before the 2013 baseball season began, speculation surrounding the Red Sox was that they headed into the season with plenty of offensive positional depth at both the Major League and Minor League level. However, fans and writers alike still questioned the actual...

If the BABIP gods covet one team above all the rest, it’s those Baltimore Orioles. Bloop singles everywhere and they’re catching every single liner. He may have gotten saddled with the loss, but Alex Wilson did a phenomenal job last night. He’s yet...

Goodbye bullpen, hello slow, painful pitching torture! Eight homers given up in the last two days. Un-freakin’-believable. If Monday’s win was a pyrrhic victory, then Tuesday’s loss was a bloody defeat. Jon Lester couldn’t help relieve the...

Yet another consecutive series win by the Red Sox. While sweeps are great, seeing this team consistently beat tough opponents is better. The bleachers in center & right fields were busy yesterday, as the Red Sox belted four round-trippers as a send-off for the...

Some shades of 2006 last night with that walk-off bomb by Big Papi. Bring on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the USA! All it took was one pitch, and David Ortiz had the stadium exploding with joy. So far, so good in June for the Red Sox. (One pitch...

SEVENTEEN runs. Oh lawdy. Save some for the rest of the series, Sox, you’re probably gonna need ’em! I’m not gonna lie, it felt really good to see the Red Sox flatten the Rangers for once. But take it all in while you can, because it probably...

Well, that was a good start by the Red Sox to one of the most hellish June schedules you’ll ever see. Back to Boston to take on the Rangers! Rain or shine, the Red Sox came to play on Sunday night. And even before the storm rolled in, there were a couple...
