On October 20th at Fenway Park under the bright lights, he found redemption. All year, he struggled to find a niche in his new home, with fans already against him being there. It was a long, taxing year for him personally as his son struggled through a malady of...

Even though not much attention is paid to bench players, they are often an important cog in a team’s success. Right now, the Red Sox’s bench is looking terrible. We have no backup catcher and the one with the greatest chance of returning hasn’t hit...

Tim Wakefield lost his first game at Tropicana Field 5-4 to the Devil Rays and the Boston Red Sox lead in the A.L. East has slipped to 1 1/2 games over the New York Yankees. A two-run homerun by Rookie of the Year candidate Delmon Young put the D-Rays on top 2-0 in...

Okay, I wouldn’t say “too close for comfort,” but after last night I have an uneasy feeling. Last night’s game was just a lackluster performance all the way around. Tim Wakefield’s knuckler didn’t have a lot of bite, resulting in a...

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...

Troy Glaus tied the game with a solo-homerun in the seventh inning at 4-4 and Vernon Wells hit a two-run shot in the top of the ninth off of Hideki Okajima ousting the Boston Red Sox 6-4. Wells hit his 16th homerun of the season against Okajima who had not given up a...

Down 9-6 to start off the bottom of the ninth the Boston Red Sox scored two runs on an Eric Hinske RBI single and an error by Melvin Mora that scored Alex Cora, but Jason Varitek grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to kill the rally losing to the Baltimore Orioles 9-8....

One pitch was the difference as Daisuke Matsuzaka gave up a two-run homerun to B.J. Upton eventually losing the game 2-1. Boston as a team left 14 runners on base not helping out their own pitchers cause as Matsuzaka went 6 innings, giving up two hits, two runs,...

The Red Sox bench has been a source of disappointment thus far this season. Before the year began, we expected the Red Sox to hold a bench very capable of getting the job done. Wily Mo Pena was coming off a .301/.349/.489 season and everyone, including Francona...
