July saw the Red Sox go 15-12, which represents an upgrade over the awful June. The Red Sox seemed to be going nowhere in the beginning of the month, but a five-game winning streak from July 20-24 and a three-game winning streak from the 26th-28th really helped...

Two years ago, I stepped in to defend Terry Francona against naysayers. That season, the Red Sox finished in a tie for the division with the Yankees, and we won the wild card due to the Yankees winning the head-to-head tiebreaker, having beaten us 10 games to nine....

What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...

Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched seven innings strong and Mike Lowell blooped home the only run on a single to left to beat 13 game winner C.C. Sabathia and the Cleveland Indians 1-0. Matsuzaka only allowed four hits, walked three, and struck out six on 98 pitches (60 for...

After a somewhat awful stretch of baseball certain Boston Red Sox players have been putting together good games and turning it around. Those players include Coco Crisp, Julio Lugo, and J.D. Drew, but one of the most important players Sox Nation has wanted to see get...

Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo combined for seven RBI’s, J.D. Drew had one RBI, but a bad call took away a three-run homer from Drew, and Josh Beckett earned his 13th win of the season in the 10-3 defeat over the Chicago White Sox (43-52). A four run fifth inning was...
