Dustin Pedroia, you say you are experiencing cold-like symptoms? Boom! 15-day DL. Jason Varitek, you say that you don’t feel quite like you did when were 31 years old? See ya! 15-day DL. So they aren’t that careful with their personnel. But they are...

Down seven runs to begin the bottom of the second inning Boston never changed their approach at the plate. The Red Sox knew they were given too many innings to catch up. J.D. Drew lead off the inning with a walk and Jason Bay followed crushing his third home run of...

How is it possible for a pitcher to be suspended when he wasn’t thrown out? When the umpires feel the pitch wasn’t intentional? Josh Beckett, as reported on SportsCenter, has been suspended for six games for “throwing” at Bobby Abreu. As I...

In the first inning of the Angels/Red Sox game, Josh Beckett looked back at Chone Figgins three times at second base. He then began to serve a fastball to Bobby Abreu, but home plate umpire Paul Schreiber jumped out, signaling for a time out. A startled Beckett buzzed...

Bobby Abreu got all the revenge he needed. After Josh Beckett threw at his head in the first inning for calling time late in the at-bat, Abreu hit a go-ahead two-run single in the third inning giving the Angels a 3-2 advantage. Vladimir Guerrero padded the lead in the...

That wasn’t a playoff game was it? Yesterday’s match-up between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels had everything a fan could ask for in a regular season game. A dramatic ninth inning — Jonathan Papelbon somehow surviving against Howie...

One series down, 53 or so left to play. While Opening Day proved to be everything we could have hoped for to kick off the season, the remainder of the series belonged to the Tampa Bay Rays. Early season series against top flight division rivals are always difficult...
