July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...

When Julio Lugo went down, it was almost as if an audible sigh of relief was heard across New England. No one, well most people at least, wouldn’t wish an injury on someone. But this was one that people weren’t broken-hearted over. Add to that the .310...

With the halfway point (just after, really — it’s been 90 games) it’s time to break out the midseason Red Sox awards! Only players currently with the Red Sox are eligible. Players could only win or be the runner up once. Once their name comes up,...

A 16-11 swing has left the Sox in second place to start July, behind the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Today comes the hated, the vaunted meek New York Yankees. Let’s kick butt and take names! Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To the Fire...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...
