Even though not much attention is paid to bench players, they are often an important cog in a team’s success. Right now, the Red Sox’s bench is looking terrible. We have no backup catcher and the one with the greatest chance of returning hasn’t hit...

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

Evan here, Tito couldn’t make it today… Now that it’s September 1, help is coming to the Red Sox — big time. Dinged up by injuries and worn down by the season, the Red Sox may be the best team in baseball, but they certainly need some help to...

The Red Sox bench has been a source of disappointment thus far this season. Before the year began, we expected the Red Sox to hold a bench very capable of getting the job done. Wily Mo Pena was coming off a .301/.349/.489 season and everyone, including Francona...

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...

Boston’s 10-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels means one thing: The New York Yankee’s pounding at the door is a lot louder now. Having the lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning everything crumbled for Boston (68-45) and Tim Wakefield picking up his...
