“Uninspiring” is the word that you’re probably looking for… The Red Sox apparently carried their lack of motivation with them into October. The Los Angeles Angels handedly swept the Red Sox, and for a third night in a row, the Red Sox simply beat themselves by playing...

Some serious bombs were dropped on Fenway Park on Sunday, as the Red Sox finished out the regular season with a 12-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians. It was not Clay Buchholz’s best, as the ALDS game three starter got touched up for five hits and six earned runs....

In the second to last game of the regular season, Josh Beckett didn’t look his best, but when you’re Josh Beckett, just about anything will do, especially on a night when the Boston bats came alive. The Red Sox ace won his seventeenth decision of the year with the...

“Effective” isn’t a term often used to describe Daisuke Matsuzaka’s outings, but that’s exactly what he looked like in last night’s start, as the Red Sox took a second win off of the Cleveland Indians, 6-2. Dice worked through six innings, allowing only five hits and...

Adam Lind and the Blue Jays came out firing, beating Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox, 8-7, on Tuesday. However, the Red Sox will cry themselves all the way into the post season, as the Angels worked their magic on the Texas Rangers, sealing a wildcard playoff berth for...

After pitching 2 1/3 innings of relief just last night, the Red Sox were not asking for extended innings from Michael Bowden on Monday night. Unfortunately, seven hits and seven runs over three innings wasn’t quite what they had in mind. It was the rain that...

The Yankees completed their three-game sweep of the Red Sox on Sunday by virtue of a 4-2 victory in the Bronx. The Sox got off to a quick start, striking first in the opening frame, and extending their lead to 2-0 in the third. The Yanks posted the next four runs,...
