The Red Sox are where they are. Six and a half games out of first place, with the division seemingly wrapped up, at least according to the stat-heads. And I myself are included in those “stat-heads.” No, I haven’t given up completely. Not on the...

With John Smoltz’s debacle in New York (granted, the stadium didn’t do him any favors) behind us, it’s time to look ahead and figure out how exactly we’re going to make the playoffs with exactly two reliable pitchers in the rotation. Look, Clay...

When the 2009 season began, there was very little doubt in anyone’s mind that the Red Sox had both the depth and talent in the starting rotation for it to be considered, not only the teams’ primary strength, but what made them favorites to advance to the...

Brad Penny pitched six plus innings allowing just five hits and one unearned run to stop Boston’s five game losing streak. Jonathan Papelbon made it interesting in the ninth inning but slammed the door with two strikeouts earning his 25th save of the season....

What is a MUP? Most Under-appreciated Player. I think the first half award for 2009 Red Sox MUP belongs to Brad Penny. Considering what we expected from him (who thought he’d still be on the team in July?), Penny’s ability to go deep in games consistently...

The 2009 Boston Red Sox are halfway through their season, 49-32 through their first 81 games. The Red Sox not only hold a 1.5 game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East, but also the best record in the American League, trailing over the Dodgers...

Seattle didn’t exactly win in exciting fashion last night but the Mariners will take it. Chris Woodward notched a bloop RBI single that fell right in front of an outstretched Dustin Pedroia and David Aardsma closed out the ninth for the Mariners beating the Red...
