Make that 11 in a row. Tied at 5-5, J. D. Drew smacked a two-run homer off of Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez giving the Boston Red Sox the lead for good at 7-5. In his second inning of relief, Jonathan Papelbon closed the door for his first post season win. Boston...

As Wednesday night turned into Thursday morning, fans watched with dismay as the Red Sox left seven runners on base in extra innings. Making the matters worse, on two different occasions with two men on and two outs, the balance of the game fell twice to, of all...

J.D. Drew has been placed on the disabled list with his herniated disk and the Sox have recalled Joe Thurston from Pawtucket to serve as the backup infielder. Boy, our team is getting hit hard by injuries. Also, instant replay is starting on Thursday. A brief...

After being no-hit through the first six innings, the Boston Red Sox rallied late in the seventh for two runs and scored three more in the ninth to beat the White Sox 5-2. Kevin Youkilis broke up John Danks no-hit bid on a broken bat single to left field and then the...

Obviously, no team in the MLB is a pushover but after a revamped offense and a hot streak a lot of us in Boston were expecting a sweep. Boston at least won game two tonight 8-2 with Jason Bay collecting four hits – third time he has done so this season –...

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...

Daisuke Matsuzaka went 7 1/3 innings striking out six in the process leading the Boston Red Sox past the Seattle Mariners 4-2. J.D. Drew drove in two – solo home run and sacrifice fly – to charge Boston’s offense on the night. Jonathan Papelbon...

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,...

So as we all know by now, the following Red Sox players will be on the All-Star roster, with an asterisk designating that the fans voted him in as starter: J.D. Drew — Can’t quibble with this one. Jonathan Papelbon — Makes sense. Dustin Pedroia*...
