With the Red Sox having won six straight, I thought I’d take a break from covering the latest news; discussing last night’s game; or trying to make sense of the baffling struggles of Dustin Pedroia and Carl Crawford. (Although Crawford does have a knack...

Last night, an eighth inning double by Jarrod Saltalamacchia, which brought in Carl Crawford for the game-winning run, put the cap on what was a great day of pitching for the Sox. Clay Buchholz stepped up big-time, going seven strong innings, allowing no runs on four...
