TAM 14, BOS 5: Torcher
Evan Longoria is being handed the American League MVP award courtesy of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff.
TAM 13, BOS 0: Roadblock
Even though Boston just recently had an 11-game winning streak snapped and beat the Cleveland Indians coming back from a 5-run deficit winning on a Jonathan Van Every homer in extra innings -- his first of his MLB career -- the Red Sox still have some things to figure out. Matt Garza is one and Josh Beckett is the other.
TB 4, BOS 3: Longoria, Garza power Rays past Sox
Only three games into the season, Evan Longoria has already punched his name into the American League MVP race. And Matt Garza made a loud statement that the Rays aren't a flash in the pan.
TB 7, BOS 2: Pena breaks funk, Lester lackluster
Most baseball analysts think Jon Lester will emerge as one of the best pitchers in the league this year. His start yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays took a sharp left turn. And it wasn't in the right direction.
BOS 5, TB 3: Beckett’s back
Any questions about Josh Beckett returning to his 2007 form were answered against the Tampa Bay Rays. At least for one start.
Know Thine Enemy 2009: Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off their first successful season in the history of the franchise. Finally, they're not considered doormats with no vision of the future. Now the Pirates stand alone there. (Even the Royals are much improved!)
This club is scary in the pool of young talent they already hold plus more on the way in the minor leagues. The Rays will compete for a very, very long time. But will they be able to withstand the Red Sox and Yankees assault in 2009?
TB 13, BOS 4: Sox pounded
Tim Wakefield got shelled early and the trend continued as the Tampa Bay Rays now have a 3-1 lead over…
