Here’s a curious case. There are 16 major league pitchers on the active roster. I can only select one who should not make the postseason roster: Devern Hansack, who has pitched 7.2 IP on the year so far this year. Those innings came May 8, 19 and September 8....

Okay, I wouldn’t say “too close for comfort,” but after last night I have an uneasy feeling. Last night’s game was just a lackluster performance all the way around. Tim Wakefield’s knuckler didn’t have a lot of bite, resulting in a...

Some news and notes before a big Sunday night game featuring Hall of Famers Curt Schilling and Roger Clemens. Only Joe Morgan can ruin the night

The Boston Red Sox blew their largest lead of the season, five runs, in the eighth inning losing to the New York Yankees 8-7. New York was down the whole game until the eighth as Jason Giambi and Robinson Cano hit back-to-back homeruns off of Hideki Okajima to start...

Josh Beckett won his 18th game pitching for 7 innings, on seven hits, two runs, no walks, and eight strikeouts and Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon finished the rest of the game off in the 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Okajima pitched a perfect eighth inning...

The only significant deal that the Red Sox made at the trade deadline has backfired big time so far. Eric Gagne is 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 2.20 WHIP since coming to Boston from the Rangers. Meanwhile, David Murphy and Kason Gabbard have both enjoyed some success in...

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...

Troy Glaus tied the game with a solo-homerun in the seventh inning at 4-4 and Vernon Wells hit a two-run shot in the top of the ninth off of Hideki Okajima ousting the Boston Red Sox 6-4. Wells hit his 16th homerun of the season against Okajima who had not given up a...

The Red Sox survived an eight run sixth inning rally from the Toronto Blue Jays who were down 10-1 entering the inning beating them 13-10. Mike Lowell was the offensive star of the game for the Red Sox going 3-4 with his 18th homerun of the season, four RBI’s,...
