Tonight’s the All-Star game, but my mind is still on the Red Sox. After suffering through a 17-17 stretch dating to June 1, it’s become obvious that while the Sox are a talented team, they aren’t without their drawbacks. So how to best improve the...

Reading through game threads, talking to fellow Red Sox fans and hearing the complaints of a nation, the general spotlight heading into the All-Star Break seems to be flashing on the man upstairs. No, I

Recently, friends and I were wondering if there was a possible way to quantify in terms of dollars exactly how big of a bust Julio Lugo has been. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to work out statistical systems to compare player’s contributions to...

Well, June was a rough month. We ended the month at 12-13, a game below .500 … but no AL East foe had the stones to step up and take advantage. The Sox saw a lot of people flounder: Beckett, Cora, Lowell, Schilling, Youkilis, Lugo, Wily Mo, Timlin, Varitek,...

It took Manny Delcarmen to preserve the win for Tim Wakefield (8-8) in the top of the seventh inning against the newest 600 homerun club member, Sammy Sosa, in the Boston Red Sox (49-29) win over the Texas Rangers (32-47) by a score of 2-1. Wakefield who went 6.2...

The Red Sox’s bullpen is the second best in the business, three months into a season where many thought the Yankees bullpen would be among the best, while the Sox would not be. Really? The Red Sox have the second best bullpen ERA in the game at 2.85, while the...

The Red Sox farm system is currently overflowing with an embarrassment of riches. There are already 4 products of the Red Sox farm system contributing to the major league team. Those players are Kevin Youkilis, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen and Dustin Pedroia....

Two tall-jacks and a triple did in Tim Wakefield (4-5) and the Boston Red Sox (30-14) losing the first of the three game series to the New York Yankees (20-23) by a score of 6-2. Chien-Ming Wang (3-3) picked up the win in the contest going six and one-third’s...

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...

Pitching around the major leagues has been in a morose state of affairs of late.
