In every close, nail-biting, hair-pulling roller coaster ride that has been the Yankees-Red Sox series in 2007, it has been Boston that

The month of May was good to the Red Sox. The Red Sox went 20-8 despite many people slumping. It’s quite impressive how well the team is playing despite those slumps. This month also saw several people come up from the minors to contribute: Javier Lopez, Kason...

Since May is about to conclude, the aura around this years team is in its early developmental stages. While some players are overachieving and some underachieving, the fans are getting a sense of what this team can do as a whole. Last week, I attempted against my best...

J.D. Drew shut up some nay-sayers with his clutch RBI single in the eighth inning that lead to a 6-5 Boston Red Sox and a series sweep over the Texas Rangers (18-32). The Sox improved to a Major League best 34-15 in a come from behind victory. Julian Tavarez, the...

As Mike introduced a two part series last week regarding the Red Sox chances of winning the division, I felt it was only necessary to take it a step further. The date is May 25, and almost 50 games into the season,...

Julio Lugo’s eight pitch at bat to leadoff the game against Mike Mussina (2-3) gave the rest of the Red Sox (31-14) lineup a huge advantage in the eventual 7-3 win against the New York Yankees (20-24). Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez all...

Through the first 43 games of the 2007 campaign, the Boston Red Sox have silenced critics and outperformed almost every expectation. Some expected the team to compete for the division crown and some even expected the Sox to be a World Series threat, but nobody truly...

The Tim Hudson (5-2) vs Kason Gabbard (1-0) billing did not look appetizing for the Boston Red Sox (30-13) but Gabbard delivered a five star pitching performance aiding the Sox take two out of three from the Atlanta Braves(26-18) in a 6-3 win. Gabbard threw five...

Might as well name Eric Hinske the M.V.P. for the Boston Red Sox (28-12) in the 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers (24-16). Hinske first saved the game from breaking open in the fifth inning by making a “web-gem” style catch. Hinske running towards Pesky Pole...
