Some of the biggest signings that the Boston Red Sox make this offseason might not have anything to do with new faces set to make a splash in Boston. The biggest signings to happen, or “not” to happen, may be with some more familiar faces (and no, this...

Jason Bay and Jed Lowrie may be new to a Boston uniform, but they’ve proven unbelievably crucial to the Red Sox season. Jed Lowrie, despite his .258/.339 line on the season has proven himself more than capable of being the Red Sox’s longterm shortstop. In...

Jed Lowrie got another chance to punch Boston’s ticket to the ALCS, and this time around, Lowrie delivered. Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Lowrie lined a single to right field and Jason Bay slid into home safely to score the game winning run. Bay had...

The kids were the story last night. Yeah, Jason Bay paced the offensive game with a pivotal 2-run home run in his playoff debut, definitely the story of the night. But… Anyone want to bet that without Jon Lester, Jacoby Ellsbury and Justin Masterson, we’re...

Welcome to the playoffs Jason Bay. After striking out in his first two at-bats Bay lined a two-run home run to left field to put Boston ahead for good in the 4-1 victory over the Angels. Jon Lester 7 solid innings only allowing one run, on six hits, one walk, and...

Kevin Youkilis started the scoring in the bottom of the fourth inning – a two run homer – to give Boston an early 2-0 lead. The Indians would respond with four runs in the fifth inning, but with the playoffs on their minds Boston answered back in the fifth...

Jason Varitek’s grounder to the shortstop – eventual fielder’s choice – scored Jason Bay and ended up being the game winning run in a 4-3 win over Toronto. Boston now has a 7 1/2 lead in the wild card race with the win. Star of the Game:...

Carlos Pena’s three-run opposite field three-run homer off of Mike Timlin was the difference in a 4-2 loss to Tampa. This marks the first time that the Rays have ever won a series at Fenway and they now take a 2 1/2 game lead over the Red Sox in the A. L. East....

It was set up perfectly – a go ahead two-run homer by Jason Bay giving the ball to our closer in the ninth – but it did not turn out perfect as Jonathan Papelbon let up two runs and the Rays came from behind to keep possession of the A.L. East lead. For...

It was a night where the Red Sox organization thanked its fans for setting the MLB record for most consecutive sell outs at home – 456 to be exact – and it was also a night where Jon Lester made everyone notice he is the best left handed pitcher in the...
