The formula is simple: Eric Gagne and/or Hideki Okajima in the eighth to set up Jonathan Papelbon to slam the door shut in the ninth. Gagne gave up four runs in the eighth making this “chemistry” experiment go awry losing the ball game 6-5 to the Baltimore...

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...

Facing the hardest team in either league to strikeout entering the game Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka (13-8) struckout 10 to earn his 13th win despite a rocky relief effort from Eric Gagne in the 4-3 victory. Kenhji Johjima singled to deep left field off of Gagne...

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...

Boston (64-41) was looking to sweep the series against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (39-65), but Scott Kazmir stood in the way pitching 6 scoreless innings in the 5-2 win over the Red Sox. Kazmir did not earn the win, but kept his team in it long enough as Tampa scored...
