Can’t blame this one on Julio Lugo.

There is a reason you are called an ace, a number one starter, a show stopper, the make it stop bleeding guy, etc. Josh Beckett went even further tonight striking out Curtis Granderson four times (eight total), and only gave up one run to the best offense in the...

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....

The Boston Red Sox had many chances to win last night, but two twin killings late in the game would foreshadow Boston’s ending result. In the tenth and eleventh innings the Red Sox had two situations where in which runners were in scoring position but David...

Should the Red Sox ink their young stars to long-term deals? Troy Tulowitzski and Fausto Carmona both recently inked long-term deals despite not being eligible for arbitration yet and the Tampa Bay Rays also inked James Shields in addition to Evan Longoria, he of six...
