I hate being mean….. LaTroy Hawkins signs with Yankees for 1 year, $4 million Hawkins is the first of a few moves the Yankees have to make in order to find a diamond in the rough at the setup man spot in their bullpen. With Joba Chamberlain moving to the...

Tim Wakefield lost his first game at Tropicana Field 5-4 to the Devil Rays and the Boston Red Sox lead in the A.L. East has slipped to 1 1/2 games over the New York Yankees. A two-run homerun by Rookie of the Year candidate Delmon Young put the D-Rays on top 2-0 in...

With no walk-off homers all season long David Ortiz hit a two-run walk-off homerun off of Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ closer Al Reyes and also had a three-run shot earlier in the game defeating the Devil Rays 5-4. Julio Lugo drew a leadoff walk and after a fly out by...

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Al Reyes did not allow this quote to ring true shutting down Boston’s second attempt at a ninth inning rally in back-to-back games closing the door in the ninth in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-5 win. Although...

Tim Wakefield made Manager Terry Francona’s decision in how to use his bullpen in this game by pitching for 8 shutout innings while tossing a no-hitter into the top of the seventh inning in the Boston 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jonathan Papelbon...

Jonathan Papelbon blew his second save of the season in 25 chances, but Boston bailed out their closer scoring six runs in the top of the 12th to outlast the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in extra innings for a 12-6 victory and improve their lead over the New York Yankees to...

If Alex Rodriguez decides to miss the All-Star game, it is safe to say that Mike Lowell will fill in just fine. Lowell went 5-6 and knocked in five runs in the Boston Red Sox (53-31) defeat of the Tampay Bay Devils Rays (33-51). Josh Beckett earned his 12 victory in...

In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Red Sox lost Opening Day and went on to make the playoffs. In 2006, Opening Day was won and … well, let’s not talk about what happened after that. Curt Schilling simply was not on today. He didn’t have it from the start...
