So here we are at the so-called mid-point of the season: the All-Star break. While we knew this season would likely be tougher than seasons in recent memory, few could have expected the veritable roller coaster ride the Red Sox have been on since Opening Day. Up...

After taking two of three against the pesky Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox (40-35) wing it to the West Coast to take on the foundering Seattle Mariners (32-45). The Mariners are 4-6 in their last 10 games, while the Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10. The Sox are...

Having taken two of three at the overly-friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the Boston Red Sox (33-33) return to Fenway Park to begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game set against the Miami Marlins (33-33). Many of the Marlins’ hitting stars are ice cold,...

The Boston Red Sox (29-31), having been swept over the weekend by the Washington Nationals, take the show on the road for a three-game skein against the Miami Marlins (31-29). The Marlins are on a cold streak, having lost their last six games in a row. And the Red Sox...

The crack of the bat was unmistakable. The ball was gone. Joe Blanton bowed his head, biting his lip as he let some saliva escape his mouth. The crowd roared, arms raised, drinks spilled. It’s rare that a player gives a curtain call after his first major league at...
