Recently, friends and I were wondering if there was a possible way to quantify in terms of dollars exactly how big of a bust Julio Lugo has been. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to work out statistical systems to compare player’s contributions to...

ATTN: Red Sox Nation, Get ready. A patchwork bullpen that far exceeded expectations was a major factor in the big club building a big lead over the rest of the AL East. With the return of Mike Timlin and a key piece (JC Romero) being designated for assignment, the pen...

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...

Two tall-jacks and a triple did in Tim Wakefield (4-5) and the Boston Red Sox (30-14) losing the first of the three game series to the New York Yankees (20-23) by a score of 6-2. Chien-Ming Wang (3-3) picked up the win in the contest going six and one-third’s...

With the B lineup in for the Boston Red Sox (29-13), Atlanta Braves (26-17) pitcher John Smoltz took full advantage throwing seven innings of shutout ball picking up the win in a 14-0 contest. Over matched and over powered by the veteran Smoltz (6-2) the Boston Red...

Now that the month of April is officially over, it’s time to bring back a segment that I started last year but tailed off and didn’t do for August and September. I’ll be taking a month to month look at the Red Sox, and unlike last years, I’m...

If you’re looking for a Red Sox/Yankees fix you’ve come to the right place. First off, you could start by reading the preview posted earlier for the series. If you had read it, you shouldn’t have been at all surprised to see Hideki Okajima protecting...

The last two games have easily atoned for the stinker the Red Sox tossed up on Opening Day, and the Sox head to Texas after vanquishing the Royals twice in a three-game set. The story yesterday, of course, is the play of Daisuke Matsuzaka. Matsuzaka shut down the...
