Another lead in the game, another lead blown. Daisuke Matsuzaka filled up the base paths in the top of the sixth all by himself walking leadoff hitter Tadahito Iguchi, then Jim Thome, and then Paul Konerko consecutively with no outs that eventually lead to the two-run...

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

With the tying run 90 feet away, J.D. Drew stranded Dustin Pedroia at third base losing to the Detroit Tigers (52-34) in a 6-5 ball game. Down 6-2 in the seventh the Boston Red Sox (53-34) managed to make it a one run ball game going into the ninth on back-to-back...

Finally, the Boston Red Sox (51-31) lineup returned the favor to Daisuke Matsuzaka giving him run support against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (33-49) unlike in his last start against the Seattle Mariners. With an almost identical stat line from his last start against the...
