Josh Beckett – Evan Brunell Well, today’s a big day, isn’t it? Either the Red Sox go home or they continue their improbable streak of winning eight of their last nine playoff elimination games. Taking the hill tonight is, of course, Josh Beckett. The...

Jason Bay and Jed Lowrie may be new to a Boston uniform, but they’ve proven unbelievably crucial to the Red Sox season. Jed Lowrie, despite his .258/.339 line on the season has proven himself more than capable of being the Red Sox’s longterm shortstop. In...

The Angels were expected to win at least one game in this series, but after falling behind 0-2 in the ALDS, the Boston Red Sox did not expect that win to come tonight. Mike Napoli homered twice and scored the game winning run as Los Angeles won 5-4 in 12 innings....

When the news of Josh Beckett’s strained oblique broke, I’ll admit it, my heart dropped and my shoulders sagged. The one thing that fans and pundits alike thought that the Red Sox had going for them in the post-season was the best post-season, big game...

With the news that Josh Beckett has been pushed back to Game 3 of the ALDS, perhaps longer, this changes the complexion of the series. No longer is The October Ace a definite to take the hill against the Angels, but the Red Sox will have to protect themselves and...
