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...

I just got back from the long, rain-soaked affair at Fenway, so forgive me if I cop out and bring you a guest column by Marlins Today‘s writer, Andy Lavin — also a Red Sox fan. Below the article, you will find two pictures (and notice the one above with...

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...

Eric Hinske gave the Boston Red Sox (50-31) the extra cushion they needed with a three-RBI triple and Jacoby Ellsbury was 2-2 with two runs and two walks in the 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers (34-48). With the Red Sox on top 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth Hinske, who...
