Tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays marks the final game of the first calendar month of the season; and what an April it was. From the panic that set in BWNNH (Before Wake’s Near No Hitter) after a 2-6 start, to the exhilaration of winning 12 out of...

Jason Bay and Kevin Youkilis have got that BOOM BOOM POW. In the bottom of the ninth, Bay launched a two-run home run to center field off of Mariano Rivera with two outs tying the game at 4-4. After David Ortiz struck out swinging to start the 11th inning, Youkilis...

Big Papi, David Ortiz, issued a stark warning to Joba Chamberlain to watch his step, reported the New York Post. Chamberlain seems to have an issue with Kevin Youkilis, having thrown the ball at or near his head four times in the last two years — which is a...

I may have trust issues, so excuse my hesitance to put any real meaning into early individual numbers. But they are all we have up to this point… The team, and by team I mean the Boston Red Sox, is 7-6. Not great, not bad, slightly better than mediocre, etc....

Kevin Youkilis launched a three-run homer into the second row of the Green Monster giving Boston a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Then, Mike Lowell singled to left field making it a five run gap. And for the first time this season the Red Sox finally held onto an early...

Dustin Pedroia, you say you are experiencing cold-like symptoms? Boom! 15-day DL. Jason Varitek, you say that you don’t feel quite like you did when were 31 years old? See ya! 15-day DL. So they aren’t that careful with their personnel. But they are...

Not only is Daisuke Matsuzaka’s arm fatigued, but Red Sox Nation is also after suffering through a 12 inning, four hour and 24 minute, 6-5 extra innings loss to Oakland. Matsuzaka went just one inning — citing arm fatigue after being taken out of the game...

Jon Lester would certainly trade his start to the 2009 season with Kevin Youkilis. Reason being, they have been polar opposites of what was expected of them coming into this season. Youkilis hit his second home run of the season in as many days in the second inning...

One series down, 53 or so left to play. While Opening Day proved to be everything we could have hoped for to kick off the season, the remainder of the series belonged to the Tampa Bay Rays. Early season series against top flight division rivals are always difficult...

Only three games into the season, Evan Longoria has already punched his name into the American League MVP race. And Matt Garza made a loud statement that the Rays aren’t a flash in the pan. Garza allowed one run over seven innings of work to win the rubber match...
