Even an uninspiring performance by Jon Lester was enough to get the job done against an Orioles team that has all but thrown in the orange towel, as Boston beat Baltimore, 11-5, on Saturday. It was the Red Sox bats that locked up the 12th consecutive series win...

The Turning Point There’s no better way to enter the playoffs than on a hot streak, unless, of course, your opponent is reeling in defeat. The ninth inning of last night’s game must have put a real damper on the spirit in the Los Angeles clubhouse. After...

Projecting the Playoffs With just 20 games remaining in the regular season, the Sox’ Hunt for Red October is getting stronger by the day. At this juncture, with this team, a 4 ½ game lead in the Wild Card is a considerable advantage. Don’t get cozy though,...

s we get later and later into September, the question inevitably crops up: Who is the Most Valuable Player? In the American League, Joe Mauer all but has the award sewed up. A .367/.435/.612 line out of the catcher position tends to do that. There’s also been...

In a homage to Twitter, the new social media application that is changing how news is delivered (in the same vein how blogs changed everything) I bring to you a summary of each Red Sox player on the 25-man roster in 140 characters or less (the maximum number of...

Talk about cramming info into a Quick Post headline…. Going into Yankee Stadium and as much a “do or die” series as the Red Sox have reached this season, things are off to an interesting start. Rocco Baldelli has been sent to the DL after fouling a...

Instead of disabling Mark Kotsay with his calf issues, the Sox have opted to waive him and his .257/.291/.324 line on the year. He just never could get in the groove. This opens up a 25-man spot for Adam LaRoche (and a 40-man spot for Chris Duncan). This leaves Rocco...

Josh Beckett did all he could to give the Boston Red Sox a lift. Beckett pitched a complete game but allowed four runs on seven hits, one walk and seven strikeouts but it wasn’t enough as he suffered the loss. Boston offense was non existent piling up just five...

David Murphy and Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s back-to-back homers put away the Boston Red Sox and John Smoltz in the sixth inning. Smoltz dropped to 1-3 on the season giving up nine hits, six runs, no walks and five strikeouts. Smoltz gave up three homers total...
