The Los Angeles Angels didn’t want to leave Fenway without at least one win for the trip home, as the AL West leaders beat the Red Sox, 4-3. A wild pitch in the seventh tarnished an otherwise solid start for Josh Beckett, who went eight innings for seven hits...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett looks like he’s coming out of that funk he was mired in for a couple weeks. He’ll do it against Ervin Santana, who has had a bad year after busting through last year. I’ll be at the game, so let’s hope we see a good...

GAME NOTES: Beckett was well on his way to Cy consideration before he started channeling 2006 with all these home runs. In his last start, he refused to give up any home runs, and Commander Kick-Ass now lays his fiery eyes on Tampa Bay. Be afraid. Be very...

Last night, Amalie Benjamin tweeted that Daisuke Matsuzaka was going to make his return to the Sox rotation on Tuesday. This means that Paul Byrd is suddenly out of a rotation spot, assuming Tim Wakefield makes his scheduled start next weekend in Baltimore. Given that...

Today is the final game of the season against the accursed White Sox, stealers of Carlton Fisk. Josh Beckett has given up 12 home runs in his last four starts (!!!) while Mark Buehrle is 2009’s Mr. Perfect. Curt Hennig would roll over in his grave if he knew...

If you’ve been dissatisfied with Victor Martinez since he joined the Boston Red Sox, there is something wrong with you… OK. I’ll bite. I’m dissatisfied with Victor Martinez. It’s been almost impossible to argue with his production thus...

GAME NOTES: Beckett heads up against a pitcher who has — on the face of it — been pretty similar to him on the year. Can Beckett turn his woes around and be the guy we need to ensure an October dance?

The Red Sox host Toronto for a three game set starting Friday. While Toronto began the season strong, they have since faded far from the race, falling under .500 – standing 20 ½ games behind the Yankees. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems to be a...

CC Sabathia takes on Josh Beckett.tonight in the rubber game of the series. The Yankees could put the division away, or they could let the Red SOx linger around in the distance, giving them a slight chance.
