The triumphant return of Jon Lester last night certainly inspired many. It’s no small task to return from cancer to one of the biggest stages in the sports world, starting pitcher for a major league team, let alone the Boston Red Sox. However, it happened....

One of the biggest question marks facing the Red Sox as we open the second half is the depth of our starting pitching staff. Josh Beckett has been, for the most part, a rock, though according to Baseball Prospectus

Well, June was a rough month. We ended the month at 12-13, a game below .500 … but no AL East foe had the stones to step up and take advantage. The Sox saw a lot of people flounder: Beckett, Cora, Lowell, Schilling, Youkilis, Lugo, Wily Mo, Timlin, Varitek,...

Curt Schilling has officially been placed on the disabled list. Instead of a reliever getting the call, it is outfielder David Murphy. Murphy is getting the call despite two capable backup outfielders sitting on the bench in a National League park in Eric Hinske and...

Coming off a near no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox (41-23), Curt Schilling was nothing close to un-hittable in a 12-2 loss against the Colorado Rockies (32-33). Schilling struggled with his control the whole outing and when he let runners on base he let them come in...
