I had been thinking about this, and Evan mentioned it as well. But would the Red Sox be better off letting Jason Bay walk? Would they be better off taking the draft picks, finding a one-year stopgap. And hopefully letting Josh Reddick take over the position, at a...

With Thursday’s game still pending, the Sox look to their three-game weekend series in Texas, back 5.5 of the Yankees; up 1.5 on the Rangers in the wildcard. This is a big set – don’t take it likely. The Sox should fare well in the home run haven of...

Talk about cramming info into a Quick Post headline…. Going into Yankee Stadium and as much a “do or die” series as the Red Sox have reached this season, things are off to an interesting start. Rocco Baldelli has been sent to the DL after fouling a...

The 2009 Boston Red Sox are halfway through their season, 49-32 through their first 81 games. The Red Sox not only hold a 1.5 game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East, but also the best record in the American League, trailing over the Dodgers...

With the recent callup of first baseman Aaron Bates to the club, it’s clear that the Sox are concerned about their offensive viability. With the All-Star break around the corner, the club could have opted to keep Jeff Bailey on the roster despite his high-ankle...

New Poll Question: Who is more important for the Red Sox to extend past their current contracts? Jason Bay Josh Beckett It’s very likely that both JB’s could end up staying in Boston past their current contracts, but if you were held feet to the fire and...

Daisuke Matsuzaka’s first pitch to Nate McLouth only foreshadowed things to come. McLouth took Matsuzaka deep on the very first pitch of the game and the Atlanta Braves whomped Boston’s starter for six runs on eight hits over four innings pitched....
