Another Red Sox rally led this time by J.D. Drew and Manny Ramirez was squandered by the bullpen brass as Boston lost 10-6. Down 4-3 headed into the bottom of the fifth inning Drew and Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs to give the Sox a 6-4 lead.

Justin Masterson is quickly making waves in Sox Nation as he continues the impressive streak the Red Sox have put together lately in developing quality prospects. Yesterday, Masterson confounded the Mariners in a game I couldn’t catch (too busy getting a tan so...

Count on J.D. Drew. I bet you never thought we would say that, but Red Sox Nation is after Drew drove in the go-ahead run yesterday to beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1. In a low scoring affair Drew deposited a solo home run into the center field bleachers giving Boston a...

Earlier this week I made the argument that it was in fact time for the Red Sox to make a statement and put a stamp on this early season by taking it to the American League leading Tampa Bay Rays. Well, I think after the events of last night, culminating in a series...

Recently inserted into the third slot of the Boston Red Sox lineup, J.D. Drew has been shining in the role as he notched two hits and drove in one run in the 5-1 over the Tampa Bay Rays. With the win Boston takes over possession of first place from the Rays in the...

It may be a revolving door at the DH position for the Boston Red Sox in the next few weeks. Manny Ramirez got the call tonight and went 1-4, but the rest of the offense pulled through as Mike Lowell and J.D. Drew both homered to lift Boston past the first place Rays...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

In the absence of David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and J.D. Drew both drove home three runs a piece in the Boston 9-4 win over Baltimore including Manny’s 501st homer of his career. Bartolo Colon registered his third win of the season (3-0) by lasting six innings on...

Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...
