The 2014 season has been hard on the Red Sox to start with, but the 10-game losing streak was a low that not even the Bobby Valentine lead 2012 Red Sox reached. While the team is still below .500 and still in last place in the AL East, they were finally able to secure...

Today marked the end of the Red Sox 10-game losing streak, a dubious accomplishment that I can say I wouldn’t have expected from the defending champs. The Sox currently sit at 21-29, solidly in last place in the AL East. With still over 100 games remaining in the...

The Boston Red Sox had not lost 10 games in a row since 1994, but the three consecutive sweeps by the hand of the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays and the Tamp Bay Rays sent the Red Sox on a tailspin as they are now 20-29 on the season. The squad is eight games back...

In case you’ve missed it, the Red Sox have lost an astounding nine games in a row. That’s nearly three times their longest losing streak from last season, when they dropped three straight only three times the entire season. Call it bad luck, injuries, poor...

Shane Victorino will be out for the foreseeable future with as he reaggravated a right hamstring injury on Friday night that had him on the DL earlier in the season. He was running out a groundball and was pinch ran for only a couple pitches later. The right fielder...

An odd thing happened in the Portland Sea Dog’s game last Sunday. Top prospect Mookie Betts started in center field in that game, instead of his normal second base. With Jackie Bradley Jr. and Grady Sizemore struggling, this raises the question of whether the Red Sox...

After the Toronto Blue Jays took the first two games of the series, the Red Sox hoped to salvage the Thursday’s series finale and end a 6 game losing skid. Both clubs sent their staff ace to the mound, as southpaws Jon Lester and Mark Buehrle squared off. Right...

Another game, another shoddy start and subsequent loss for the Red Sox; this time it was Clay Buchholz spoiling Boston’s chances to end a 5 game losing skid. The slender right-hander was hit hard by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night, allowing 5 runs on 9...
