Red Sox starting pitcher Julian Tavarez statistics aren’t of the all-star caliber variety but Tavarez is easily one of the most reliable pitchers on the staff. For a pitcher who has started and relieved for Boston this year, Tavarez (7-9), was much more than...

These have been hard times for Sox fans lately. Even though the Sox still maintain the best record in baseball at 72-48 and hold a five game lead over the New York Yankees (of which they fell to the Orioles twice, a merciful reprieve from the Gods), you wouldn’t...

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...

Jon Lester is making his Fenway debut tonight, and should get a very loud standing ovation for his triumphant return from cancer. Lester spent the majority of the year in Triple-A, then came up to the majors and stuck after the trade of Kason Gabbard and other pieces...

Josh Beckett became the first major leaguer to win 15 games and flirted with his third career shutout in the 6-2 win. He fell one out short. Beckett pitched for 8 2/3 innings, taking a five-hitter into the ninth giving up eight hits, two runs, walking none, and...
