Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

Through seven innings Felix Hernandez had been dominant, the eighth inning was so much different. Dustin Pedroia hit a ground rule double to deep left field scoring Julio Lugo making it 2-1. Pedroia’s RBI double then ensued a Hernandez collapse. Boston went on...

Justin Masterson had a tough act to follow after Jon Lester’s no-hitter last night. So, Masterson just followed that up with a gem of his own earning his first major league win in the 2-1 contest against the Kansas City Royals. Masterson threw for 6 1/3 innings...

I tried. Honest, I did. I tried to like him. I advocated signing him last year. He was the best option at the time. Now it could be argued he’s the worst shortstop in the major leagues. Last week, I asked my friend for ideas for topics on the Sox to write about....

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

Seriously, did we just get swept by the Rays? Ok, it is shocking and it did happen and hats off to James Shields who pitched a complete game shutout to wrap up the sweep for the Rays. Josh Beckett had a strong outing pitching for 7 innings, striking out 13 Rays, and...
