J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell both hit grandslams over the Green Monster while Daisuke Matsuzaka stayed perfect on the season improving his record to 8-0 as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals 11-8. Boston completed the sweep of the seven game homestand behind Matsuzaka...

Josh Beckett had no answer for the Baltimore Orioles and the slump the Sox are in as Boston lost 5-4.

Could four outfielders work out for the Red Sox after all? With the Red Sox finding no trading partner to depose Coco Crisp to, the Sox opted to keep Crisp instead of trading him to Texas for Gerald Laird. The move, so far, has turned out to be a smart one as the...

J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp helped charge a ninth inning rally by scoring two runs in the frame, but the Boston Red Sox fell short to the Minnesota Twins losing the game 9-8 on Mother’s Day. Pink Bats are the norm on Mother’s Day and the Twins’ Craig...

As some of you may have been able to tell by the proclivity of my posts to include tables of data from some new found online tool or database that I happened to stumble upon, I love finding new ways to analyze what we live and watch every day with our favorite...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

The Boston Red Sox can win without Manny Ramirez. Arguing a called third strike, Ramirez, was tossed out of the ball game by home plate umpire Paul Emmell and the Red Sox offense suffered until the seventh and eighth inning. Down 5-0 entering the seventh inning David...

Mike Mussina DID get lucky last time out against the Boston Red Sox, but tonight Mussina’s luck ran out after facing Manny Ramirez. Ramirez jacked two home runs off of Mussina and “Moose” was chased from the game after three innings of work. The...

The Red Sox have long been a club based on the three-run jimmy jack: Slow, stone-handed players that mash the ball. Given the close confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox followed this mantra for years and it continued through 2003. The tide started to turn in 2004 but...
