The Boston Red Sox blew their largest lead of the season, five runs, in the eighth inning losing to the New York Yankees 8-7. New York was down the whole game until the eighth as Jason Giambi and Robinson Cano hit back-to-back homeruns off of Hideki Okajima to start...

Alex Rodriguez’ 44th homerun of the season was the difference in Boston’s 4-3 loss against the New York Yankees. Josh Beckett was over 100 pitches going into the seventh inning and had previously got out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the sixth....

Hello folks. Jim Johnson here from The Bronx Block. I’m currently watching the Sox help the Yankees in their task of securing the Wild Card and I thought, “Hmm, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one another.” So I thought I’d come...

The results of the poll for the June swoon were basically as advertised. The terrible 1-5 skid to begin June was stopped by Curt Schilling‘s one-hitter. Since then, the Red Sox have gone 3-1, and have an off-day today to rest. They host the Colorado Rockies and...

Since May is about to conclude, the aura around this years team is in its early developmental stages. While some players are overachieving and some underachieving, the fans are getting a sense of what this team can do as a whole. Last week, I attempted against my best...

Ah, the New York Yankees. Hated team and bitter rival to the Red Sox. The Stadium affectionately referred to as The Toilet … the home of The Slap … and the rivalry never reached heightened levels (and probably never will again) from 2003-2004 with the...

Fellow Fire Brand writer Mike Edelman penned an article on his personal Red Sox website about the Red Sox changing the way they play baseball a bit. As Edelman says: “Last year, Red Sox stolen base attempts went up from 57 in 2005 to 74 in 2006. Red Sox...

Looks like it’s official. J.D. Drew has signed with the Red Sox for 4 years and 56 million, with a fifth year option, likely to be finalized soon. This means a couple things: 1) The deal could either be considered a bust by those fearful of Drew’s style...
