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...

What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...

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....

A setback is a setup for a comeback. Jon Lester returned from a big setback beating out a treatable form of lymphoma cancer and on “his” day, Lester went out and got two victories: a win in his first return to the Major Leagues beating Cleveland 6-2 and a...

Ever since the news exploded onto the scene that the Red Sox were highly interested in acquiring Mark Buerhle, the fervor has been tempered somewhat. Immediately after the Chicago Sun-Times ran that explosive piece that all but assured a deal was imminent, the Boston...
