Bottom Line Rob checking in… get more Red Sox analysis and news from BL Rob at The Bottom Line. After last night’s game, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jon Lester each have 5 starts on the season… and both have struggled to make through the first 5 innings of...

Up 9-7 entering the bottom of the fifth inning the Boston Red Sox had a cushion to work with, but Julian Tavarez could not hold the lead. Giving up two runs on a Jorge Posada RBI double and Robinson Cano notched an RBI single tying it up at 9 apiece. Then another two...

Mike Timlin is returning tomorrow, so another move in the bullpen will have to be made. For a variety of purposes, it is unlikely that Javier Lopez will be given the boot (2 IP, 2.50 WHIP, 9.00 ERA, 3 H, 2 BB, 2K). The choice likely comes down to either David Aardsma...

Josh Beckett got roughed for five runs in his season debut and the Toronto Blue Jays completed the sweep winning 7-4. Vernon Wells and Frank Thomas went yard in the win for the Jays in the win. Vernon’s dinger sent Beckett packing after 4.2 innings pitched with...

Kyle Snyder has said that he was designated for assignment following today’s game to make room for Josh Beckett. Now Julian Tavarez can serve as the long man after pitching effectively today and we get a little while longer to see if David Aardsma can pull...

Who should lose out on a bullpen spot (the other three you do not select will make it)? * Kyle Snyder 48% of all votes * Bryan Corey 23% of all votes * Javier Lopez 17% of all votes * David Aardsma 12% of all votes Looks like we all think we should keep the young...

You guessed it — we’re picking the Red Sox to repeat as American League East Division Champions. Coming off a World Series, the Red Sox will look to repeat and make it three titles in five years (shades of the Patriots). The Red Sox have a strong team...
