One of the biggest stories of the 2007 baseball season is the Red Sox pitching staff. The dominance of Red Sox pitchers has carried the team to what is currently the best record in the majors. It’s scary to think that going into Saturday’s game against the...

I’m sure this news is going to make some of you very angry but believe it or not, both David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez have been helping Alex Rodriguez to overcome his struggles in New York. Have A-Rod’s late inning clutch home runs reminded anyone of a...

At 11-5 the Red Sox currently have the best record in the American League. Not only have they played rather well but there’s no aspect of the team that could really be pointed out at a weakness. The season is still very young however, as the Red Sox will have...

The less talked about Japanese import, Hideki Okajima has been equally dominant against Major League hitters. The lefty reliever is a veteran of 12 seasons in Japan’s NPB. In 2006, he posted an ERA of 2.14 over 54.2 innings of work. Over that span he waked 14...

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...

Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jon Lester, two important components to the future of the Red Sox starting rotation, both took the mound today with divergent outcomes. First, the one with all the attention: Dice-K pitched 5.2 innings, gave up one run on one hit, one walk, and...

Now let’s imagine for a moment that we were not baseball fans but general managers. Let us also imagine that we had a future Hall of Fame batter who asked to be traded weeks before the season. Being the smart general manager you are, you’re going to...

The Red Sox Spring Training schedule began yesterday at 10:00 when Jon Lester played in the B-game. He pitched one perfect inning, needing only 8 pitches. Lester was even able to get his fastball up to 90 mph. An amazing feet considering the challenges Lester faced...
