Tuesday’s game is a big one, as they all are at this point. Essentially, the Sox get a Brandon Morrow vs Tim Wakefield rematch, the same matchup from last Wednesday in Toronto. In that game, Wake allowed four earned run in five innings, but the Sox offense put...

On WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan Show” this morning, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein revealed that RF J.D. Drew has an avulsion fracture of his right middle finger. Drew sustained the injury while on a rehab assignment. Peter Gammons is reporting...

Sure there was the 20+ innings pitched in Triple-A before his callup and a few good starts for Andrew Miller, but there is a reason he has been passed around do often. Miller has control problems and no matter how hard he throws left handed he can’t compensate...
