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...

Mike Lowell singled home the game winning run in the top of the 13th inning to lift the Boston Red Sox past the Baltimore Orioles 5-2. Baltimore also had three throwing errors in the top frame that helped Boston to the 5-2 score as Lowell and Kevin Youkilis scored on...

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...

After coming off a no-hitter in his last start Jon Lester was mediocre in his efforts against the Oakland Athletics as Boston lost 6-3. Lester only lasted 5 innings, yielding 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struck out 3 batters. The only lead Boston had...

J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell both hit grandslams over the Green Monster while Daisuke Matsuzaka stayed perfect on the season improving his record to 8-0 as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals 11-8. Boston completed the sweep of the seven game homestand behind Matsuzaka...

Clay Buchholz has shown glimpses of brilliance in his young career. His last three starts since giving up an eighth inning two run home run to Akinori Iwamura in Tampa Bay after a brilliant one hitter to that point have not been that brilliant. Since Iwamura’s...

Quickly updating a busy day for roster moves; Alex Cora was activated from the DL and will start for a still woozy Julio Lugo at SS tonight.

The Red Sox are positioning themselves to be the favorite in the American League once again. The Sox have been led by a promising rotation that posted a 1.69 ERA in 10 starts up until Wednesday (36 hits in 69+ innings), a lineup beginning to hit its stride led by the...

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....
by mike edelman | May 4, 2008 | Brandon Moss, Craig Hansen, Manny Delcarmen
With Brandon Moss on the shelf post-appendectomy and J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp back to health, the Red Sox made the call to add an extra arm in the pen to replace him instead of filling the bench with the likes of Chris Carter. Following up on his brief stint with the...
