Just one night after Paul Byrd dropped five runs in the first frame against the Kansas City Royals, KC found out what it was like to watch an entire game slip away in one inning. Behind a six run fifth inning, the Boston Red Sox gave the Royals one such beat down,...

Even an uninspiring performance by Jon Lester was enough to get the job done against an Orioles team that has all but thrown in the orange towel, as Boston beat Baltimore, 11-5, on Saturday. It was the Red Sox bats that locked up the 12th consecutive series win...

The Turning Point There’s no better way to enter the playoffs than on a hot streak, unless, of course, your opponent is reeling in defeat. The ninth inning of last night’s game must have put a real damper on the spirit in the Los Angeles clubhouse. After...

It’s a slump. That’s it. That has to be it. Mayday! Mayday! We’re going down… aren’t we? Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between a slump and a freefall. When given the choice, you always root for the slump, because,...

New Poll Question: After the worst of all possible outcomes from the most critical six game road stretch of the season, where do you think the Red Sox playoff chances stand now? Only 6.5 back with 6 left to go against New York. I can still taste the division....
