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...

J.D. Drew shut up some nay-sayers with his clutch RBI single in the eighth inning that lead to a 6-5 Boston Red Sox and a series sweep over the Texas Rangers (18-32). The Sox improved to a Major League best 34-15 in a come from behind victory. Julian Tavarez, the...

As Mike introduced a two part series last week regarding the Red Sox chances of winning the division, I felt it was only necessary to take it a step further. The date is May 25, and almost 50 games into the season,...

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...

Through the first 43 games of the 2007 campaign, the Boston Red Sox have silenced critics and outperformed almost every expectation. Some expected the team to compete for the division crown and some even expected the Sox to be a World Series threat, but nobody truly...

On a day when the baseball could not stay in Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox (29-12) clobbered the Atlanta Braves (25-17) by a score of 13-3. Daisuke Matsuzaka’s (6-2) solid performance was overshadowed by the Red Sox offense onslaught who hit four homeruns...

Yesterday, the Cincinnati Reds optioned third baseman Edwin Encarnacion to Triple-A. Encarnacion, long known as the savior of the Reds. Perhaps burdened by unreasonable expectations, Encarnacion is not a popular man in Cincinnatti right now. Manager Jerry Narron (who...

Now that the month of April is officially over, it’s time to bring back a segment that I started last year but tailed off and didn’t do for August and September. I’ll be taking a month to month look at the Red Sox, and unlike last years, I’m...

Professional baseball simply does not get any better than the end of the Yankees-Red Sox game on Sunday night. Jonathan Papelbon vs. Alex Rodriguez. The filthiest, flame throwing phenom in the game of baseball, the newly appointed most fearsome closer in the sport,...

I usually don’t single out certain series but given the passion of the rivalry, and the fact that I got out of class at noon today, I thought, why not? Well I’ll skip the small chat and get right down to business. This weekend the two powers of the AL East...
