Brad Penny earned his 100th win of his career and Fenway Park was sold out for the 500th consecutive time. There was a lot to cheer about last night. Penny pitched five innings allowing one run (unearned) yielding three hits, four walks and three strikeouts. For the...

Still want to trade Brad Penny? Although Penny did not get the win last night he went six scoreless innings only walking one batter and struck out five. Boston rallied in the eighth inning, how fitting, to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to start the season 8-0 against...

If Brady Penny is going to be traded then this outing didn’t help the Boston Red Sox front office. Ian Kinsler lined a three-run homer over The Monster in the fifth inning to cap off a four run frame and the Texas Rangers beat Boston, 5-1. Penny suffered his...

It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish. Ask Tim Wakefield. Wakefield, known for his lack of patience to start innings, gave up three early runs in the second inning. But, Boston knew that Dontrelle Willis would eventually crack. He did just that....

As Oakland GM Billy Beane once said, and I’m paraphrasing here, “the first two months are finding out what you have, the next two getting what you need, the last two trying to make the playoffs.” Well, we’ve just passed the two month mark, and...

Casey Janssen had been waiting a long time for this. Janssen (1-1) won his first game as a starting pitcher since June 30, 2006 out dueling Tim Wakefield pitching seven innings, giving up 11 hits, three runs, two walks and two strikeouts. Wakefield (6-3) suffered the...

Brad Penny is steadying himself in the back end of the rotation after a tough start to the year. His ERA may be an unsightly 5.96, but he’s providing quality starts and keeping the team in the game. However, with John Smoltz needing to be activated by June 19, a...

Buy low, sell high. Brad Penny continues to fulfill, quite possibly, the oldest investment cliche ever. Penny improved to 5-1 pitching 5 1/3 innings, yielding six hits, three runs, no walks and seven strikeouts. Jonathan Papelbon almost lost the game for Penny giving...

If only the replay system could be used to fix David Ortiz’s swing. For the second straight day at Fenway Park a potential home run was reviewed. Kevin Youkilis hit a shot to left field in the fifth inning but it was ruled foul. Meanwhile, Ortiz continued to...
