Consistency isn’t a word I would use to describe the Red Sox over the past few years, and although the club is but one season removed from a World Series title, the Red Sox enter 2015 with more to prove than that might normally suggest. A successful October is always...

The Red Sox pushed their loosing streak to an even 8 games over the weekend, after they were swept by the Seattle Mariners. On Friday the match-up of Felix Hernandez and Joe Kelly seemed to greatly favor Seattle on paper, but the contest didn’t come quite as...

After getting nearly everything right in the offseason leading up to 2013, GM Ben Cherington missed on a few signings this past winter. Grady Sizemore looked like a cheap, worthwhile risk to take, but he didn’t work out, and the Red Sox couldn’t afford to carry his...

The Red Sox and Twins played the second game of a three game series at Fenway Park on Tuesday night. Similar to Monday’s contest, runs were held to a minimum as staff aces Jon Lester and Phil Hughes toed the rubber for their respective clubs. However, Boston was...

Runs were hard to come by in the Red Sox and Twins series opener on Monday night. While the pitching match-up of Rubby De La Rosa and Kevin Correia doesn’t sound like your prototypical pitchers duel, both starters battled like a couple of aces. In his third...

After going 2-7 on their 3 city road trip, the Red Sox returned to Fenway Park on Thursday night to open a 4 game set with the Cleveland Indians. Jon Lester toed the rubber for Boston, and was opposed by Indians right-hander Josh Tomlin. The Red Sox opened up the...

The Red Sox’s deep and potent offense was one of the hallmarks of the club’s World Series run in 2013. From the top of the order to the bottom, Boston boasted hitters who could do damage to the opposition and also work the count, making it a tough task for opposing...

With the Red Sox idle on Thursday, the team turned its attention to the 2014 first year player draft. Boston entered the night with the 26th and 33rd overall picks, the latter of which came as compensation for losing Jacoby Ellsbury in free agency. With their first...

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to and end”. For the Red Sox, their “good thing” ended on Monday night, when the Cleveland Indians snapped Boston’s seven game winning streak. Former Red Sox pitcher Justin Masterson...

Today marked the end of the Red Sox 10-game losing streak, a dubious accomplishment that I can say I wouldn’t have expected from the defending champs. The Sox currently sit at 21-29, solidly in last place in the AL East. With still over 100 games remaining in the...
