With the B lineup in for the Boston Red Sox (29-13), Atlanta Braves (26-17) pitcher John Smoltz took full advantage throwing seven innings of shutout ball picking up the win in a 14-0 contest. Over matched and over powered by the veteran Smoltz (6-2) the Boston Red...

Might as well name Eric Hinske the M.V.P. for the Boston Red Sox (28-12) in the 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers (24-16). Hinske first saved the game from breaking open in the fifth inning by making a “web-gem” style catch. Hinske running towards Pesky Pole...

Oh … is there anything more glorious? Having been a frequent visitor of Opening Day at Fenway Park years past (including my most recent one in 2005, when the ring ceremony was held for the 2004 World Series title) there’s nothing sweeter than seeing the...

In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Red Sox lost Opening Day and went on to make the playoffs. In 2006, Opening Day was won and … well, let’s not talk about what happened after that. Curt Schilling simply was not on today. He didn’t have it from the start...

Craig Hansen has been optioned to Triple-A (gee, what a surprise…). Alex Ochoa has accepted his assignment to Triple-A, and could have a chance of coming up as a backup outfielder due to injury. Bryan Corey has been sent to minor league camp, which firms up the...

The Red Sox continued their ways of winning, as they bested the New York Mets 9-5 behind a grand slam in the bottom ninth inning by minor league journeyman Ed Rogers. SS Julio Lugo led the Red Sox in runs scored with two, finishing 1/2 with a walk and Kevin Youkilis...

Curt Schilling’s changeup seems to be making progress, and he feels it’s good enough to be his No. 2 pitch. If true, it could offer a new look to batters, and Schilling could be in line for another strong season. Developing another strong pitch this late...
