After the dust settled and Coco Crisp avoided a James Shield haymaker and took a licking from Jonny Gomes and Carl Crawford, Manny Ramirez drove in five runs helping beat Tampa 7-1. Jon Lester earned the win pitching 6 1/3 innings, yielding one run, no walks, and...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

In the absence of David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and J.D. Drew both drove home three runs a piece in the Boston 9-4 win over Baltimore including Manny’s 501st homer of his career. Bartolo Colon registered his third win of the season (3-0) by lasting six innings on...

After teammates Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz homered back-to-back in the third inning Manny Ramirez must have felt left out in the long ball contest. In the seventh inning, Ramirez crushed Chad Bradford’s first pitch offering to deep right center for his 500th...
by shawn medeiros | May 27, 2008 | Bartolo Colon, Clay Buchholz
It might not be fair to say Bartolo Colon is back to his Cy Young-self just yet with only two starts under his belt, but it is fair to say Colon is pitching very effectively for Boston. After last night’s performance, Colon dropped his ERA to 2.25 and improved...

Through seven innings Felix Hernandez had been dominant, the eighth inning was so much different. Dustin Pedroia hit a ground rule double to deep left field scoring Julio Lugo making it 2-1. Pedroia’s RBI double then ensued a Hernandez collapse. Boston went on...

After coming off a no-hitter in his last start Jon Lester was mediocre in his efforts against the Oakland Athletics as Boston lost 6-3. Lester only lasted 5 innings, yielding 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struck out 3 batters. The only lead Boston had...
by evan brunell | May 22, 2008 | Bartolo Colon
Bartolo Colon had a rather impressive start to his big league career with the Red Sox. Throwing 74 pitches, 62 percent were for strikes, an encouraging sign, especially with someone coming off an arm injury making his first start in the bigs. Only 6.7 percent of...
