There is a difference between the Red Sox and nearly every other team in baseball – and it’s pretty obvious. How lucky are our home town fans, that our very own Boston squad has significantly more money to spend on players most other teams. Actually, all but one...

After adding John Lackey and Mike Cameron the team is starting to take shape. Although most think we need to make another move it’s possible we enter 2010 as we stand now. That isn’t very likely if the Mike Lowell trade is completed, but to start...

By all indications, the Red Sox will have John Lackey serving as their No. 3 starter this upcoming season. The right-hander inked a five-year, $85 million deal which is exactly market value for his services. Lackey is a solid signing for the Red Sox, as long as they...

There has been a lot of stress placed on the defense this off season and that looks to continue with the interest in Adrian Beltre to replace Mike Lowell at third base. Other than the obvious value gained from a solid group of fielders, is there another reason to...

In our versions of an offseason blueprint the Red Sox could follow (1, 2, 3) one topic that came up fairly often was how realistic or unrealistic our proposed trade packages were for certain players. Let’s recap: Mike Lowell, Casey Kotchman, Clay Buchholz and...

“Uninspiring” is the word that you’re probably looking for… The Red Sox apparently carried their lack of motivation with them into October. The Los Angeles Angels handedly swept the Red Sox, and for a third night in a row, the Red Sox simply beat themselves by playing...

ALDS Game 3: Angels vs. Red Sox
by evan brunell | Oct 10, 2009 | 2009 ALDS, Clay Buchholz, Joe Saunders, Los Angeles Angels, Scott Kazmir
The Red Sox are in such dire straits offensively, I’m pining for the offensive slump the team was in that precipitated the Victor Martinez trade. Across two games, Boston’s come up with just eight measly hits, only two of them extra-base hits (and not of...

The Red Sox are set to do battle with the Angels later this week to decide who gets to play for the American League pennant. Boston and Los Angeles are certainly familiar with each other, having done battle in the 2004, ’07 and ’08 DCS. In fact, Boston...

Some serious bombs were dropped on Fenway Park on Sunday, as the Red Sox finished out the regular season with a 12-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians. It was not Clay Buchholz’s best, as the ALDS game three starter got touched up for five hits and six earned runs....
