After winning two of three against the Athletics, the Boston Red Sox (14-7, 2 games ahead in the AL East) welcome the newest member of the junior circuit, the Houston Astros (7-14, tied for 4th in the AL West), to Fenway Park for a four-game series. The Red Sox are...

Since Monday’s horrifying events at the Boston Marathon and the irascible days that followed, it has been difficult to place total focus on professional athletics. I began to realize, once again, how precious and short life is. I watched CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News with...

The Red Sox won their seventh consecutive game today as Daniel Nava hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth. It’s been quite a while since we’ve watched a Red Sox team play quite this well, and as such, I wanted to list out the aspects of this season that have me...

Having earned their second sweep in a row, the Boston Red Sox (11-4, 2.5 games ahead in the AL East) return home to Fenway Park for a three-game series (which will start TBA due to the ongoing manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber) against the Kansas City Royals...

Today’s game is at 11:05 AM Eastern time, or 8:05 my time. That means I’m going to miss it, since I’m doing this post & a report on the adaptation of Moneyball to the big screen the night before. Clay Buchholz just seems to be getting better as...

Through the entire offseason, one of the main points analysts everywhere hammered home about the Red Sox was this: the team’s success will ride on the arms of top pitchers Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. Well so far, so good. The duo has combined to allow only four runs...

With another week of baseball in the books, the Boston Red Sox stand at an impressive 5-4 due to the combination of rock solid starting pitching, consistent and timely hitting, and an unyielding bullpen that seems to be finding its groove (well, with the exception of...

After losing two of three against the Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (5-4, tied for first in the AL East) finish their homestand with a four- three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (4-5, one game back in the AL East). The Rays usually get by with pitching and...

With a 5-4 record and two series wins under their belt, the Red Sox have gotten off to a relatively satisfying start to the 2013 season. One of the biggest reasons for Boston’s early-season burst has been Clay Buchholz, who has risen to the occasion with two straight...

So, for the second straight Tuesday, the Red Sox do not play a game. At all. Why must you toy with us, MLB schedule makers? We Sox fans love baseball too, in case you forgot about that… The perennial warms-your-heart journey of Daniel Nava continues. In this...
