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....

James Shields blew through the Boston Red Sox lineup in his last start at the Trop, but this time Shields can fully understand why David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are the best one-two punch in baseball. Ortiz and Ramirez combined for four hits, four runs, and drove in...

After being scratched from his last start, Daisuke Matsuzaka came back with a solid effort pitching for 7 innings only allowing two hits while striking out four Toronto Blue Jays as Boston won in the bottom of the ninth 2-1. A repeat of last night’s game, Jason...

Almost better than advertised Justin Masterson left the game after pitching 6 innings and only allowing one run, giving Boston a 3-1 lead, but the bullpen ruined his career debut. After Masterson left the Sox with a lead and a stellar performance only giving up two...

So far this year, the Red Sox have come out of the gate hot, taking on all comers in a challenging schedule early in the season. No one other than one man should be looked to as the reason for the A.L.’s top team’s success. His full name may be Manuel...

The Boston Red Sox can win without Manny Ramirez. Arguing a called third strike, Ramirez, was tossed out of the ball game by home plate umpire Paul Emmell and the Red Sox offense suffered until the seventh and eighth inning. Down 5-0 entering the seventh inning David...

Manny Ramirez said after the game that if Ortiz is not hitting, he will hit for him. Ramirez did just that. David Ortiz drove in Dustin Pedroia on an RBI infield single deep into the shift in right field tying it at three apiece.

Mike Mussina DID get lucky last time out against the Boston Red Sox, but tonight Mussina’s luck ran out after facing Manny Ramirez. Ramirez jacked two home runs off of Mussina and “Moose” was chased from the game after three innings of work. The...

The Red Sox have long been a club based on the three-run jimmy jack: Slow, stone-handed players that mash the ball. Given the close confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox followed this mantra for years and it continued through 2003. The tide started to turn in 2004 but...
