What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...

Coco Crisp drove in five RBI’s and Kason Gabbard earned his fourth victory of the season beating the Chicago White Sox (43-53) in a romping defeat 11-2. Crisp has hit .370 in his last 29 games and has driven in eighth RBI’s in his past two games hitting...

Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo combined for seven RBI’s, J.D. Drew had one RBI, but a bad call took away a three-run homer from Drew, and Josh Beckett earned his 13th win of the season in the 10-3 defeat over the Chicago White Sox (43-52). A four run fifth inning was...

The last homerun any Boston Red Sox (55-35) fan had seen from David Ortiz at Fenway Park was on April 21st, Ortiz ended that drought in the first inning homering off of Dustin McGowan to right field in the 9-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays (44-46). Ortiz’...

If Alex Rodriguez decides to miss the All-Star game, it is safe to say that Mike Lowell will fill in just fine. Lowell went 5-6 and knocked in five runs in the Boston Red Sox (53-31) defeat of the Tampay Bay Devils Rays (33-51). Josh Beckett earned his 12 victory in...

Finally, the Boston Red Sox (51-31) lineup returned the favor to Daisuke Matsuzaka giving him run support against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (33-49) unlike in his last start against the Seattle Mariners. With an almost identical stat line from his last start against the...

Well, June was a rough month. We ended the month at 12-13, a game below .500 … but no AL East foe had the stones to step up and take advantage. The Sox saw a lot of people flounder: Beckett, Cora, Lowell, Schilling, Youkilis, Lugo, Wily Mo, Timlin, Varitek,...

Down: Mike Lowell Mike Lowell appears to be heading in the direction we all feared: the path to second half gloom and doom. His career numbers tell us what most Red Sox fans already know. Lowell has a career .915 OPS in April, but the numbers get uglier as the season...
