David Ortiz has been hurt all season long with shoulder and knee problems, but this time Ortiz let Jeff Weaver feel some pain with a go-ahead grand slam homerun that catapulted the Boston Red Sox (74-49) to an eventual 10-5 victory. After being down 5-0 going into the...

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Al Reyes did not allow this quote to ring true shutting down Boston’s second attempt at a ninth inning rally in back-to-back games closing the door in the ninth in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-5 win. Although...

Jon Lester is making his Fenway debut tonight, and should get a very loud standing ovation for his triumphant return from cancer. Lester spent the majority of the year in Triple-A, then came up to the majors and stuck after the trade of Kason Gabbard and other pieces...

Josh Beckett became the first major leaguer to win 15 games and flirted with his third career shutout in the 6-2 win. He fell one out short. Beckett pitched for 8 2/3 innings, taking a five-hitter into the ninth giving up eight hits, two runs, walking none, and...

Dustin Pedroia had the go-ahead homerun in the seventh and Mike Lowell was 4-4 with two RBI’s to help Boston (69-45) avoid the sweep against the Los Angeles Angels (66-74) winning 9-6. In a back and forth game Hideki Okajima earned his third win of the season...

Boston’s 10-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels means one thing: The New York Yankee’s pounding at the door is a lot louder now. Having the lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning everything crumbled for Boston (68-45) and Tim Wakefield picking up his...

A rare homerun by Maicer Izturis, coupled with an ejection of Manny Ramirez, and some questionable calls lead to a 4-2 loss for the Boston Red Sox (68-44). After walking David Ortiz in the top of the ninth inning Francisco Rodriguez was not facing Ramirez, but Brandon...

Hello folks. Jim Johnson here from The Bronx Block. I’m currently watching the Sox help the Yankees in their task of securing the Wild Card and I thought, “Hmm, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one another.” So I thought I’d come...

July saw the Red Sox go 15-12, which represents an upgrade over the awful June. The Red Sox seemed to be going nowhere in the beginning of the month, but a five-game winning streak from July 20-24 and a three-game winning streak from the 26th-28th really helped...
