Slowly but surely, everything is coming together for the Boston Red Sox. Boston’s offense collected 15 hits, Dustin Pedroia went 4-for-6 driving in three runs — all on singles — David Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI triple in the sixth and Justin...

Bobby Abreu got all the revenge he needed. After Josh Beckett threw at his head in the first inning for calling time late in the at-bat, Abreu hit a go-ahead two-run single in the third inning giving the Angels a 3-2 advantage. Vladimir Guerrero padded the lead in the...

The 2009 Boston Red Sox are in the final stages of preparing for what is certain to be an entertaining and exciting season. The spring is finally behind us, the roster is set and the team is moving northward to christen Citi Field with some Major League talent. Now...

Many expected the 2007 version of Hideki Okajima to disappear as we headed into last season. But he didn’t. Okajima stuck around another year, and was roughly the same pitcher that he was in 2007, overall. His K/9 actually improved the second time around the...

Bill James has come out with his new handbook for 2009, and in the handbook are the early statistical projections for players next year. This may be especially significant in the case of the Red Sox, as James has a vast amount of knowledge of players in the Red Sox...

The Red Sox enter tonight’s Game 7 with a chance to complete a comeback that might match, or perhaps even surpass when considered in terms of statistical improbability, what they did against the Yankees in 2004. I’m sure the vast majority of Red Sox...

The success of Red Sox phenom Justin Masterson since his major league debut on April 24th has been well documented. The 23 year old rookie lost only once in his first seven starts, reminiscent of the 2007 Clay Buchholz at a time when the 2008 Buchholz looked more like...

July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...

In the first half of the season, some usual suspects led the team to a first place finish at the break. Kevin Youkilis tore the cover off the baseball and played exceptional defense, while his infield partners Dustin Pedroia and Mike Lowell continued at their All-Star...

With the halfway point (just after, really — it’s been 90 games) it’s time to break out the midseason Red Sox awards! Only players currently with the Red Sox are eligible. Players could only win or be the runner up once. Once their name comes up,...
