It may be a revolving door at the DH position for the Boston Red Sox in the next few weeks. Manny Ramirez got the call tonight and went 1-4, but the rest of the offense pulled through as Mike Lowell and J.D. Drew both homered to lift Boston past the first place Rays...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

Justin Masterson had a tough act to follow after Jon Lester’s no-hitter last night. So, Masterson just followed that up with a gem of his own earning his first major league win in the 2-1 contest against the Kansas City Royals. Masterson threw for 6 1/3 innings...

Could four outfielders work out for the Red Sox after all? With the Red Sox finding no trading partner to depose Coco Crisp to, the Sox opted to keep Crisp instead of trading him to Texas for Gerald Laird. The move, so far, has turned out to be a smart one as the...

J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp helped charge a ninth inning rally by scoring two runs in the frame, but the Boston Red Sox fell short to the Minnesota Twins losing the game 9-8 on Mother’s Day. Pink Bats are the norm on Mother’s Day and the Twins’ Craig...

Kevin Youkilis hit his eighth homerun of the season while Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie hit back-to-back jacks and Mike Lowell finished the Twins off with another solo homerun as Boston went on to win 5-2. Daisuke Matsuzaka hurled seven innings with six strikeouts to his...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

The Red Sox have long been a club based on the three-run jimmy jack: Slow, stone-handed players that mash the ball. Given the close confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox followed this mantra for years and it continued through 2003. The tide started to turn in 2004 but...
