Since May is about to conclude, the aura around this years team is in its early developmental stages. While some players are overachieving and some underachieving, the fans are getting a sense of what this team can do as a whole. Last week, I attempted against my best...

The Boston Red Sox (33-15) beat the Texas Rangers (18-31) by a score of 7-4 with another big five run inning and a near Manny Ramirez cycle. Tim Wakefield (5-5) notched the win for the Sox going seven innings, on five hits, four runs, one walk, and four strikeouts....

First of all, if you’d like to swear a blue streak (I know I would) about losing two out of three to the rejuvenated Yankees, check out Shawn’s latest recap… Eric Hinske may not be off to a great start offensively, but he’s certainly caught the...

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...

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...

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...

So how much is he really going to help the Yankees? Roger is expected to take 4-6 weeks to get ready. If he takes exactly 4 weeks from the day his signing was announced, he would start his first game at Fenway Park on June 3rd. Clemens didn’t start pitching in...
