Curt Schilling is now on the 25-man roster, and Javier Lopez is not. Lopez, a submarining lefty who had found a niche in the bullpen, was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Schilling, getting the boot over Manny Delcarmen and Kyle Snyder. I can understand booting...

July saw the Red Sox go 15-12, which represents an upgrade over the awful June. The Red Sox seemed to be going nowhere in the beginning of the month, but a five-game winning streak from July 20-24 and a three-game winning streak from the 26th-28th really helped...

The triumphant return of Jon Lester last night certainly inspired many. It’s no small task to return from cancer to one of the biggest stages in the sports world, starting pitcher for a major league team, let alone the Boston Red Sox. However, it happened....
