If you told me during the winter that on August 22, Julio Lugo would be hitting .242/.300/.351, I

One pitch was the difference as Daisuke Matsuzaka gave up a two-run homerun to B.J. Upton eventually losing the game 2-1. Boston as a team left 14 runners on base not helping out their own pitchers cause as Matsuzaka went 6 innings, giving up two hits, two runs,...

Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo both drove in two runs and the Boston Red Sox slugged out a win beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 8-6. Jonathan Papelbon earned his 30th save of the season making him the first Red Sox reliever to record back-to-back 30 save seasons....

David Ortiz has been hurt all season long with shoulder and knee problems, but this time Ortiz let Jeff Weaver feel some pain with a go-ahead grand slam homerun that catapulted the Boston Red Sox (74-49) to an eventual 10-5 victory. After being down 5-0 going into the...

These have been hard times for Sox fans lately. Even though the Sox still maintain the best record in baseball at 72-48 and hold a five game lead over the New York Yankees (of which they fell to the Orioles twice, a merciful reprieve from the Gods), you wouldn’t...

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Al Reyes did not allow this quote to ring true shutting down Boston’s second attempt at a ninth inning rally in back-to-back games closing the door in the ninth in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-5 win. Although...

Tim Wakefield made Manager Terry Francona’s decision in how to use his bullpen in this game by pitching for 8 shutout innings while tossing a no-hitter into the top of the seventh inning in the Boston 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jonathan Papelbon...

Same situation for Eric Gagne: a lead in the eighth inning. The same result: a blown lead for the Red Sox (70-47). Gagne coughed up a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth as Miguel Tejada whacked a two run homerun to tie it at 3-3. Kevin Millar added insult to injury...

Josh Beckett became the first major leaguer to win 15 games and flirted with his third career shutout in the 6-2 win. He fell one out short. Beckett pitched for 8 2/3 innings, taking a five-hitter into the ninth giving up eight hits, two runs, walking none, and...

Hello folks. Jim Johnson here from The Bronx Block. I’m currently watching the Sox help the Yankees in their task of securing the Wild Card and I thought, “Hmm, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one another.” So I thought I’d come...
