These have been hard times for Sox fans lately. Even though the Sox still maintain the best record in baseball at 72-48 and hold a five game lead over the New York Yankees (of which they fell to the Orioles twice, a merciful reprieve from the Gods), you wouldn’t...

Tim Wakefield made Manager Terry Francona’s decision in how to use his bullpen in this game by pitching for 8 shutout innings while tossing a no-hitter into the top of the seventh inning in the Boston 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jonathan Papelbon...

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...

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...
