Josh Beckett owned the Cleveland Indians pitching for 8 innings, tying a post season high in strikeouts with 11, gave up five hits, walked one and only allowed one run on a double play ball and Kevin Youkilis lead the offense homering, hitting a triple and driving in...

Man, another game for the ages from Josh Beckett. His performance has been truly astounding. Last night’s eight innings pitched, eleven strikeouts, one walk and one earned run on five hits simply added to what was already an impressive postseason resume. If the...

Jhonny Peralta smacked a three-run homer making it 6-0 and a Casey Blake RBI single gave the Indians a 7 run advantage.

In 2004, Terry Francona pushed all the right buttons. In 2007, Terry Francona’s trying to make the buttons he’s pushing right. That’s the difference, and that’s why the Red Sox stand at a 3-1 series deficit going into Wednesday’s...

Here we stand, on the date of October 10, two days before the first pitch of the 2007 American League Championship Series. Here we stood, on the date of March 31, two days before the first pitch of the 2007 baseball season. On March 31, we had no way of knowing...

Greetings from the Big Apple. I’m on vacation right now but I was happy to set time aside for an article here at my old stomping grounds. Much has changed since I last wrote an article at Fire Brand. There’s plenty to be excited about with the Red Sox up...

Last year, the experience was shattered by an August collapse. In 2005, the postseason was washed away in the blink of an eye. The magical postseasons of 2004 and 2003 will never be forgotten, and we all sincerely hope 2007 adds its name to that cherished list. The...

This comes to you as the first column of Fire Brand as the home of the DIVISION CHAMPION RED SOX! He’s on fire. Big Papi, who nabbed four hits in four outings yesterday with a walk, had another successful night last night, nabbing three hits and a homer. Without...

J. D. Drew was 3-4, David Ortiz smacked a two-run homerun and Curt Schilling pitched for 6 innings earning his 9th victory as the Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 7-3. With New York losing in extra innings to the Devil Rays and the Red Sox win the magic number is...
