As Mike introduced a two part series last week regarding the Red Sox chances of winning the division, I felt it was only necessary to take it a step further. The date is May 25, and almost 50 games into the season,...

Curt Schilling was un-Schilling-esque in an 8-3 loss against the New York Yankees (21-24). The Boston Red Sox (31-15) were behind early as Schilling gave up three runs in the bottom of the first inning and the Sox never caught up. An RBI single by Derek Jeter that...

On a day when the baseball could not stay in Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox (29-12) clobbered the Atlanta Braves (25-17) by a score of 13-3. Daisuke Matsuzaka’s (6-2) solid performance was overshadowed by the Red Sox offense onslaught who hit four homeruns...

Now that Coco Crisp has silenced his critics by playing incredible defense and seemingly hitting better (which isn’t supported by the facts, but he did go on a tear for a bit), the critics have been casting about for a new goat on the Red Sox. Enter Julio Lugo....
