With the Red Sox well out of contention in the American League playoff standings, Boston welcomed in Wild Card hopefuls, the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend. Embracing their role as spoilers, the Red Sox took 2 of 3 games in the weekend series, and kept the Jays 5...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – First, the good news. The Pawtucket Red Sox turned their first triple play since June 26, 2009 in the eighth inning of Monday night’s game against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Now, the bad news. Pawtucket’s usually reliable bullpen imploded...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Somewhere in baseball’s book of clichés is the one that says all a manager can hope for from his starting pitcher is that he keeps his team in the game. That was the story Thursday afternoon when Pawtucket Red Sox right-hander Rubby De La Rosa...

With about 20 days until the regular season starts, John Farrell has set his rotation in place that will likely be through until at least the All-Star break. Jon Lester will got the nod on Monday and will be followed by John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy and then...

This week I’m highlighting five prospects I expect big things from in 2014. Last January I nailed it by predicting success for Garin Cecchini, but some of the other picks (cough Jose Vinicio’s cough) weren’t so great. I’m hoping I can look back with pride on...

Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried to put on my objective hat and find ways to improve the Red Sox. I argued in favor of signing Brian McCann. I’ve argued against trading for Giancarlo Stanton. I argued that we needed one of Mike Napoli, Carlos Beltran or...

Let’s play word association with the last few editions of the Boston Red Sox. For me, 2011 equals “failure.” When I think of 2012, the first thing that jumps to mind is “fecundity.” And 2013? Apologies for the language, but the first thing is “really f-ing good.” So...

There’s a certain sadness knowing that the season’s nearly over. But there’s a feeling of joy when your team’s been the best, and is about to get the hardware to prove it. The Red Sox didn’t disappoint in their final series against the...

With the Governor’s Cup series serving as the only games remaining on the minor league schedule, it seems like a good time to hand out this season’s year-end award. Bear in mind that not all of the awards I’m giving out will be positive–and of...

“And down the stretch they come!” Once again the calendar turns from August to September. Thankfully this time around the Red Sox are not only back in the race, they are, in fact, leading the race. Boston entered August 65-44, up 0.5 games in the American...
