The setting was perfect. Eric Gagne was striding into the mound, part of the last vestiges of the Boston bullpen. With a clean inning, he could start erasing doubts about his abilities and add a few million to his incentive-laden contract he will sign with another...

After what was a back-and-forth game the whole night the Cleveland Indians broke open the 11th inning scoring 7 runs en route to a 13-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox tying the series at 1-1. Eric Gagne once again did not hold the fort down getting no outs and...

David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez set the pace for the Red Sox offense who reached base a combined 10 times and Josh Beckett earned the win pitching for 6 innings with seven strikeouts beating the Cleveland Indians 10-3. Ortiz was 2-2 with two walks and Ramirez was 2-2...

Greetings from the Big Apple. I’m on vacation right now but I was happy to set time aside for an article here at my old stomping grounds. Much has changed since I last wrote an article at Fire Brand. There’s plenty to be excited about with the Red Sox up...

J. D. Drew was 3-4, David Ortiz smacked a two-run homerun and Curt Schilling pitched for 6 innings earning his 9th victory as the Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 7-3. With New York losing in extra innings to the Devil Rays and the Red Sox win the magic number is...

Here’s a curious case. There are 16 major league pitchers on the active roster. I can only select one who should not make the postseason roster: Devern Hansack, who has pitched 7.2 IP on the year so far this year. Those innings came May 8, 19 and September 8....

Down by a run in the ninth inning Jason Varitek tied the game with his 15th homerun of the season and Julio Lugo’s 8th homerun of the season put Boston ahead clinching a playoff birth for the club. Al Reyes (3-3) blew his fourth save of season assuring the Red...

The day Eric Gagne was required, rumblings and murmurs of Theo Epstein creating the strongest bullpen in the last decade surfaced. It wasn
