Welcome to the playoffs Jason Bay. After striking out in his first two at-bats Bay lined a two-run home run to left field to put Boston ahead for good in the 4-1 victory over the Angels. Jon Lester 7 solid innings only allowing one run, on six hits, one walk, and...

When the news of Josh Beckett’s strained oblique broke, I’ll admit it, my heart dropped and my shoulders sagged. The one thing that fans and pundits alike thought that the Red Sox had going for them in the post-season was the best post-season, big game...

The New York Yankees took game one 6-2, but the Boston Red Sox did not leave their fans empty handed in the night cap walking off with a 4-3 win. Jon Van Every singled to right field driving home Alex Cora in the bottom of the 10th to give Boston some momentum into...

Yes, the Sox got swept but I bet everyone else in Red Sox Nation is a bit more worried about if Manny will stay or go. Mark Teixeira went 0-4 and Garrett Anderson put the Angels ahead for good with a two-run homer in the sixth. Goat of the Game: Beckett His line was...

A six run outburst in the sixth inning was the all the Angels needed dumping Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Boston Red Sox 7-5 at Fenway Park. Casey Kotchman’s two-run homer and Torii Hunter’s three-run homer washed away any chance the Red Sox had of winning...

Jon Lester has come up big in his last two starts with wins that we needed.

Bad enough we get swept.
by shawn medeiros | Jul 20, 2008 | Erick Aybar, Josh Beckett, Los Angeles Angels, Vladimir Guerrero
Josh Beckett had blanked the Angels through six innings, but the seventh was a different story. A solo homer by Vladimir Guerrero and a three run triple by pinch hitter Erick Aybar busted the game open for the Los Angeles win. Goat of the game: Beckett or Terry? It is...
