It has become painfully obvious in the last two weeks that the Red Sox are going nowhere in 2014. The club’s offense has scuffled all season long, and with summer no longer a novelty, these struggles have quickly grown from what appeared to be a passing fluke to cold,...

The newly crowned last place Red Sox opened up a 4 game series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Clay Buchholz made his third start since returning from the disabled list, and was opposed by Chicago’s sinker-baller Scott Carroll. Home runs...

Maybe you are one of the optimistic Red Sox fans who believes this 2014 team has a second half run in them. You argue that despite being a season worst ten games under .500, the team is actually only nine games out of first place. You remind your fellow fans that...

After a dispiriting extra innings loss, the Red Sox are now in last place, 9 games out of first. Past Sox teams dominated at home, but after taking two out of three against the Yankees in New York, the team is 1-5 on the current homestand, and three games below .500...

I might be the last Red Sox fan to concede defeat on a season, but after seeing the Red Sox get swept in 3 games by the lowly Chicago Cubs I’m strongly considering throwing in the towel. The pessimist — or perhaps realist — in me, sees the Red Sox...

After nearly being no-hit by Jake Arrieta on Monday night, the Red Sox and Cubs met for the second game of their 3 game set on Tuesday. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the mound for his second start since returning from the disabled list in late June. The tall righty...

If losing the first game of the series against the Cubs wasn’t bad enough, the Red Sox were nearly no-hit by Chicago’s starter Jake Arrieta on Monday night. The Cubs right-hander was just 4 outs away from tossing the teams first no-hitter in 6 years,...

The Red Sox wrapped up their 10 game, 3 city road trip over the weekend as the team visited New York for three games against the Yankees. Boston dropped the first game of the series on Friday, despite receiving another strong pitching performance from rookie starter...

After dropping 5 out of 7 games on the west coast, the Red Sox stumbled into just their second off day of the month. Boston is set to open a fairly important series with the team directly above them in the AL East standings this weekend: The New York Yankees....

Red Sox games during the 2014 season follow one of two paths; either the pitching is great and the offense can’t hit, or the pitching is trash and the offense is scoring. Boston chose the ladder of the two during the series opener against the Seattle Mariners on...
