As often happens when the Red Sox venture out West for a playoff series (as often happens), there’s no more painful post to write than the one scheduled to hit the wires the morning following a late night start like we had in Game One of the ALDS – except...

The Red Sox are set to do battle with the Angels later this week to decide who gets to play for the American League pennant. Boston and Los Angeles are certainly familiar with each other, having done battle in the 2004, ’07 and ’08 DCS. In fact, Boston...

In the second to last game of the regular season, Josh Beckett didn’t look his best, but when you’re Josh Beckett, just about anything will do, especially on a night when the Boston bats came alive. The Red Sox ace won his seventeenth decision of the year with the...

After pitching 2 1/3 innings of relief just last night, the Red Sox were not asking for extended innings from Michael Bowden on Monday night. Unfortunately, seven hits and seven runs over three innings wasn’t quite what they had in mind. It was the rain that...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett has been scratched with mild back spasms with Michael Bowden taking his place. We looked so good going into October: a great bullpen, a good 1-4 rotation and a clicking offense. Now? Our top two pitchers are hobbled and our offense looks feast...

Just one night after Paul Byrd dropped five runs in the first frame against the Kansas City Royals, KC found out what it was like to watch an entire game slip away in one inning. Behind a six run fifth inning, the Boston Red Sox gave the Royals one such beat down,...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett looks to grab his 16th win and continue his exit from the doldrums. Boston will face Luke Hochevar, who recently learned that he was tipping his pitches and thinks it’s part of his struggles since entering the majors. He shut out the...

Seven sterling innings could not undo the wrongs of the first inning, as the Red Sox lose the second game of a four game series to the Kansas City Royals, 5-1. Red Sox starter Paul Byrd gave up five earned runs in the first inning, a deficit from which the Red Sox...
