Julio Lugo’s eight pitch at bat to leadoff the game against Mike Mussina (2-3) gave the rest of the Red Sox (31-14) lineup a huge advantage in the eventual 7-3 win against the New York Yankees (20-24). Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez all...

Through the first 43 games of the 2007 campaign, the Boston Red Sox have silenced critics and outperformed almost every expectation. Some expected the team to compete for the division crown and some even expected the Sox to be a World Series threat, but nobody truly...

The Tim Hudson (5-2) vs Kason Gabbard (1-0) billing did not look appetizing for the Boston Red Sox (30-13) but Gabbard delivered a five star pitching performance aiding the Sox take two out of three from the Atlanta Braves(26-18) in a 6-3 win. Gabbard threw five...

On a day when the baseball could not stay in Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox (29-12) clobbered the Atlanta Braves (25-17) by a score of 13-3. Daisuke Matsuzaka’s (6-2) solid performance was overshadowed by the Red Sox offense onslaught who hit four homeruns...

Kevin Youkilis has been quite a story this year. Hitting .338/.431/.486 through the end of the first game of yesterday’s doubleheader, Youkilis has really started becoming a major player for the Red Sox. Earlier this year, I wondered if a comparison of Youkilis...

And the un-sung hero award goes to… Julian Tavarez. Tavarez who was not even supposed to be the fifth starter on this team has provided the Boston Red Sox with what any skipper would want out of his fifth starter: long outings and the ability to keep his team in...

Last year was Theo Epstein’s most criticized as general manager of the Boston Red Sox. He made a multitude of unpopular moves in which he dealt players such as Hanley Ramirez, Andy Marte, Bronson Arroyo, Anibel Sanchez, Josh Bard, Cla Meredith and David Riske....

Now that the month of April is officially over, it’s time to bring back a segment that I started last year but tailed off and didn’t do for August and September. I’ll be taking a month to month look at the Red Sox, and unlike last years, I’m...

With all of the attention directed towards the pitching staff (and rightfully so), the Red Sox offense needs to be discussed. They
