Okay, I wouldn’t say “too close for comfort,” but after last night I have an uneasy feeling. Last night’s game was just a lackluster performance all the way around. Tim Wakefield’s knuckler didn’t have a lot of bite, resulting in a...

The only significant deal that the Red Sox made at the trade deadline has backfired big time so far. Eric Gagne is 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 2.20 WHIP since coming to Boston from the Rangers. Meanwhile, David Murphy and Kason Gabbard have both enjoyed some success in...

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...

The upcoming series at Yankee Stadium has been circled on the calendars of Red Sox fans across the world since the schedules were announced this past spring. With memories of last year’s Boston Massacre still fresh in our minds, we looked forward to this series...

Joe Saunders pitched 7 2/3 innings earning his seventh victory of the season in the 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox who saw their lead slip over the New York Yankees to four games. Boston’s offense who have been compiling comebacks almost with ease lately were...

At this rate Eric Gagne may cause someone in Red Sox Nation to have a heart attack. For the third time this season as a member of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff, Eric Gagne, blew another game that Boston had the lead after eight innings. Boston missed a chance at...

Same situation for Eric Gagne: a lead in the eighth inning. The same result: a blown lead for the Red Sox (70-47). Gagne coughed up a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth as Miguel Tejada whacked a two run homerun to tie it at 3-3. Kevin Millar added insult to injury...

The formula is simple: Eric Gagne and/or Hideki Okajima in the eighth to set up Jonathan Papelbon to slam the door shut in the ninth. Gagne gave up four runs in the eighth making this “chemistry” experiment go awry losing the ball game 6-5 to the Baltimore...
