The month of May was good to the Red Sox. The Red Sox went 20-8 despite many people slumping. It’s quite impressive how well the team is playing despite those slumps. This month also saw several people come up from the minors to contribute: Javier Lopez, Kason...

As Mike introduced a two part series last week regarding the Red Sox chances of winning the division, I felt it was only necessary to take it a step further. The date is May 25, and almost 50 games into the season,...

Two tall-jacks and a triple did in Tim Wakefield (4-5) and the Boston Red Sox (30-14) losing the first of the three game series to the New York Yankees (20-23) by a score of 6-2. Chien-Ming Wang (3-3) picked up the win in the contest going six and one-third’s...

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...

Now that the month of April is officially over, it’s time to bring back a segment that I started last year but tailed off and didn’t do for August and September. I’ll be taking a month to month look at the Red Sox, and unlike last years, I’m...

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...

I wasn’t worried by anything I saw from Papelbon today but his outing was slightly disappointing. He worked on all his pitches but had trouble locating his fastball from the start. His location with it appeared to get a little better as the game went on but at...
