After sweeping Jose Altuve (because, let’s face it, he was the only Astros player worth a damn), the Boston Red Sox (18-7, 3 game lead in the AL East) fly north of the border to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (9-17, 9.5 games behind in the AL East) in a...

I like stats. Don’t you like stats? Let’s talk about stats. (Not included: Saturday’s game against Houston. The stats sites haven’t updated as of yet, and let’s face it: I’m not good enough at math to calculate these things myself.) 99.1 – Innings pitched by Jon...

With the strikeout-prone Houston Astros in town, I fully expect Felix Doubront to rack up 15 Ks in 5 innings, and then be pulled because his pitch count will be somewhere around 225. We’re in the midst of one of the Red Sox’ best starts to a season in...

After winning two of three against the Athletics, the Boston Red Sox (14-7, 2 games ahead in the AL East) welcome the newest member of the junior circuit, the Houston Astros (7-14, tied for 4th in the AL West), to Fenway Park for a four-game series. The Red Sox are...

Since Monday’s horrifying events at the Boston Marathon and the irascible days that followed, it has been difficult to place total focus on professional athletics. I began to realize, once again, how precious and short life is. I watched CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News with...

The Red Sox won their seventh consecutive game today as Daniel Nava hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth. It’s been quite a while since we’ve watched a Red Sox team play quite this well, and as such, I wanted to list out the aspects of this season that have me...

Having earned their second sweep in a row, the Boston Red Sox (11-4, 2.5 games ahead in the AL East) return home to Fenway Park for a three-game series (which will start TBA due to the ongoing manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber) against the Kansas City Royals...

Having swept the Rays, the Boston Red Sox (8-4, leading the AL East by 1.5 games) travel to the southern shore of Lake Erie to take on the Cleveland Indians (5-6, third place in the AL Central, 1.5 games back) in a three-game series. This will be the first time this...

With another week of baseball in the books, the Boston Red Sox stand at an impressive 5-4 due to the combination of rock solid starting pitching, consistent and timely hitting, and an unyielding bullpen that seems to be finding its groove (well, with the exception of...
