The Los Angeles Angels didn’t want to leave Fenway without at least one win for the trip home, as the AL West leaders beat the Red Sox, 4-3. A wild pitch in the seventh tarnished an otherwise solid start for Josh Beckett, who went eight innings for seven hits...

I’m on the Rotoworld.com beat, and this just came across my desk: Bob Elliot of the Toronto Sun reports that the Red Sox offered the Blue Jays six pitchers for Roy Halladay at the trading deadline. The names: Daniel Bard, Michael Bowden, Clay Buchholz, Felix...

GAME NOTES: A special shoutout to Alex Gonzalez, who has been unbelievable since joining the Sox. He’s solidified the lineup, hitting .295/.295/.511 with 4 HR and 11 RBI in 24 games. Walks? Who needs walks? Gonzo also stole his first base since 2006 — when...

Clay Buchholz tangles with the Baltimore Orioles, who he handcuffed two years ago for a no-hitter… and whom handcuffed him the last time the two dueled on Aug. 2 when Clay gave up seven runs over four...

GAME NOTES: Buchholz has suddenly fashioned himself into a very solid No. 3. The key here is if Buchholz can keep it up amidst increasing pressure as October nears. Price has been a disaster on the road but kills it at home. It’ll be up to Buchholz to match...

If you’ve been dissatisfied with Victor Martinez since he joined the Boston Red Sox, there is something wrong with you… OK. I’ll bite. I’m dissatisfied with Victor Martinez. It’s been almost impossible to argue with his production thus...

Paul Byrd now holds the title of latest savior of the Red Sox rotation – or latest in the revolving door of fifth starter candidates, depending on whether your coffee mug is half full or half empty today. Proud holder of a fourteen-year career touring eight...

The Red Sox host Toronto for a three game set starting Friday. While Toronto began the season strong, they have since faded far from the race, falling under .500 – standing 20 ½ games behind the Yankees. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems to be a...

Remy Returns There’s nothing like watching a Sox game in August with Jerry Remy adding the color commentary. The games have more flair with the big guy’s commentary and even the blowouts are entertaining again. No broadcasting pair in the nation can match...

As of Thursday morning, the Sox stand seven games behind the New York Yankees in the division race and one game ahead of the Rangers in the Wild Card. The Yankees are cruising right now, with a great opportunity to seal up the division this weekend. The Sox...
