Adam Lind and the Blue Jays came out firing, beating Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox, 8-7, on Tuesday. However, the Red Sox will cry themselves all the way into the post season, as the Angels worked their magic on the Texas Rangers, sealing a wildcard playoff berth for...

Even an uninspiring performance by Jon Lester was enough to get the job done against an Orioles team that has all but thrown in the orange towel, as Boston beat Baltimore, 11-5, on Saturday. It was the Red Sox bats that locked up the 12th consecutive series win...

A few years back, I was introduced to a simple site on the Internet that gave me a different and useful lens on the baseball season. Doug’s Stats (www.dougstats.com) looks much like it did the day I stumbled on it in 2003. It hasn’t gotten a Web 2.0...

Last night, J.D. Drew hit his 19th home run of the season, tying his total from last year. His next home run will rank as only the fourth time in 11 full seasons that he’s reached that plateau. Outside of a .217/.316/.361 line in June, Drew has been turning in a...

In a homage to Twitter, the new social media application that is changing how news is delivered (in the same vein how blogs changed everything) I bring to you a summary of each Red Sox player on the 25-man roster in 140 characters or less (the maximum number of...

Tony Masserotti via Boston.com: “And before anyone suggests that Damon has benefited solely from the laughable right field at Yankee Stadium, let’s remember that his game-tying home run last night was a laser that landed in the Yankees bullpen, just to the...

During the game yesterday, Oakland Athletics shortstop Orlanda Cabrera was shown on camera asking a teammate “how can you hit that.” Carbera was referencing Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball that was dancing all around the plate last night. Wakefield...

Yesterday, first baseman Jeff Bailey suffered a high-ankle strain trying to make a play on Brad Penny’s acrobatic flip to first base Saturday. He’s likely to hit the disabled list, a loss given that the Sox are about to face two left-handed pitchers. How...

One day after being dominated by Tommy Hanson, Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox turned the table on the Baltimore Orioles. Lester threw seven shutout innings allowing just five hits, no walks and eight strikeouts. Dustin Pedroia and Jason Varitek both had RBI singles...

Still want to trade Brad Penny? Although Penny did not get the win last night he went six scoreless innings only walking one batter and struck out five. Boston rallied in the eighth inning, how fitting, to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to start the season 8-0 against...
