After coming off a no-hitter in his last start Jon Lester was mediocre in his efforts against the Oakland Athletics as Boston lost 6-3. Lester only lasted 5 innings, yielding 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struck out 3 batters. The only lead Boston had...

The Milwaukee Brewers have tossed their hat into the ring for Julian Tavarez’s services, so the Sox may be able to extract a legitimate prospect for Sexy Lips after all. I can’t say I’m surprised at this news because a couple days ago when I was...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

Almost better than advertised Justin Masterson left the game after pitching 6 innings and only allowing one run, giving Boston a 3-1 lead, but the bullpen ruined his career debut. After Masterson left the Sox with a lead and a stellar performance only giving up two...

Mike Timlin is returning tomorrow, so another move in the bullpen will have to be made. For a variety of purposes, it is unlikely that Javier Lopez will be given the boot (2 IP, 2.50 WHIP, 9.00 ERA, 3 H, 2 BB, 2K). The choice likely comes down to either David Aardsma...

A sixth inning four run outburst led to the eventual 6-3 win for the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox. Shaun Marcum picked up the win on seven innings pitched, three runs, one walk, eight strikeouts, and one homerun while Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield earned...

Who should lose out on a bullpen spot (the other three you do not select will make it)? * Kyle Snyder 48% of all votes * Bryan Corey 23% of all votes * Javier Lopez 17% of all votes * David Aardsma 12% of all votes Looks like we all think we should keep the young...

The stage was set for Daisuke Matsuzaka to have a big showing, but Brandon Moss and Manny Ramirez stole the spotlight. Down by one in the top of the ninth inning, Moss, who had an RBI single earlier in the ball game, drove a Houston Street low and inside fastball over...

You guessed it — we’re picking the Red Sox to repeat as American League East Division Champions. Coming off a World Series, the Red Sox will look to repeat and make it three titles in five years (shades of the Patriots). The Red Sox have a strong team...

For those of you who have followed our walk through the Red Sox lineup while we compared their 2008 prospects to their 2007 performance, we’re at it again with the final installment before our great summation in Friday’s column. For those of you new to...
