Coco Crisp caused Daniel Cabrera to balk and had a sacrifice RBI and Jon Lester only allowed four hits over 7 innings pitched earning his fourth win of the season while surviving a near brawl after Crisp irritated Cabrera with his bat and his speed on the base paths....

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...

Read the initial reaction to the no hitter by Evan Brunell Even if Clay Buchholz pitched a no-hitter in his first major league start he was going to be sent back down to the minor leagues. No need for Buccholz to go back down to the minors now as Buccholz pitched his...

Red Sox starting pitcher Julian Tavarez statistics aren’t of the all-star caliber variety but Tavarez is easily one of the most reliable pitchers on the staff. For a pitcher who has started and relieved for Boston this year, Tavarez (7-9), was much more than...

At this rate Eric Gagne may cause someone in Red Sox Nation to have a heart attack. For the third time this season as a member of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff, Eric Gagne, blew another game that Boston had the lead after eight innings. Boston missed a chance at...

These have been hard times for Sox fans lately. Even though the Sox still maintain the best record in baseball at 72-48 and hold a five game lead over the New York Yankees (of which they fell to the Orioles twice, a merciful reprieve from the Gods), you wouldn’t...

Jon Lester returned home to Fenway Park for the first time after battling cancer, but that was not the only delight Red Sox fans got to witness as Boston rallied back in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2-1 in a pitcher’s duel....

Jon Lester is making his Fenway debut tonight, and should get a very loud standing ovation for his triumphant return from cancer. Lester spent the majority of the year in Triple-A, then came up to the majors and stuck after the trade of Kason Gabbard and other pieces...
