Maybe all that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz needed was some semblance of a rest. The result of that rest, Ramirez drove in three runs and Ortiz drove in two in the Boston Red Sox (54-34) win over the Toronto Blue Jays (43-45) in the process of roughing up Roy...

Reading through game threads, talking to fellow Red Sox fans and hearing the complaints of a nation, the general spotlight heading into the All-Star Break seems to be flashing on the man upstairs. No, I

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...

Boston (53-33) was playing the wrong odds too many times and their luck finally ended and caught up with them in the bottom of the 13th. Ivan Rodriguez singled home the game winner off of Jonathan Papelbon, but the Red Sox flirted with disaster in the 10th and 11th...

Recently, friends and I were wondering if there was a possible way to quantify in terms of dollars exactly how big of a bust Julio Lugo has been. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to work out statistical systems to compare player’s contributions to...

The month of June turned out to be one to forget for the Red Sox lineup. Of course this batting order wouldn

Well, June was a rough month. We ended the month at 12-13, a game below .500 … but no AL East foe had the stones to step up and take advantage. The Sox saw a lot of people flounder: Beckett, Cora, Lowell, Schilling, Youkilis, Lugo, Wily Mo, Timlin, Varitek,...

The Boston bats have been nothing short of absent at the plate and Julian Tavarez caught the brunt end of it in the 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers (34-47). Tavarez (5-6)
