by mike silver | Sep 29, 2009 | Boston Red Sox, Casey Kotchman, Mike Lowell, Quick Post
Two items for today’s laundry list: 1) Hope that Lowell’s hip heals 2) Pray to Pedro Serrano’s voodoo gods (yeah, that crazy guy from “Major League“) that if he doesn’t, Casey Kotchman’s bat will rise from its slumber. Mike...

After pitching 2 1/3 innings of relief just last night, the Red Sox were not asking for extended innings from Michael Bowden on Monday night. Unfortunately, seven hits and seven runs over three innings wasn’t quite what they had in mind. It was the rain that...

Alex Gonzalez earned himself a valuable pair of singles, as the Red Sox checked off their seventh victory in just eight days, against the Los Angeles Angels, 9-8. Watching A-Gonz at the center of the home plate pig-pile still takes some getting used to, but after...

Drew, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jason Bay, Jason Varitek, Jon Lester, Jonathan Papelbon, Josh Beckett, Junichi Tazawa, Kevin Youkilis, Manny Delcarmen, Mike Lowell, Nick Green, Ramon Ramirez, Takashi Saito, Victor Martinez
In a homage to Twitter, the new social media application that is changing how news is delivered (in the same vein how blogs changed everything) I bring to you a summary of each Red Sox player on the 25-man roster in 140 characters or less (the maximum number of...

What should be done with our struggling DH? A guy that could have ended each and every game, seemingly, had he been given the opportunity just a few years back. Now, he can’t hit himself out of a paper bag. And I mean a bag that is already ripped in half,...

With Thursday’s game still pending, the Sox look to their three-game weekend series in Texas, back 5.5 of the Yankees; up 1.5 on the Rangers in the wildcard. This is a big set – don’t take it likely. The Sox should fare well in the home run haven of...

Josh Beckett did all he could to give the Boston Red Sox a lift. Beckett pitched a complete game but allowed four runs on seven hits, one walk and seven strikeouts but it wasn’t enough as he suffered the loss. Boston offense was non existent piling up just five...

With the All-Star Break finally behind us, it’s time to take a look ahead at what the second half has in store for us. One thing it doesn’t have in store for us is Julio Lugo’s presence in a Red Sox uniform. Now, while the Red Sox could always throw...

Rumors abound that the Red Sox and Colorado Rockies have discussed a deal around reliever Takashi Saito for third-baseman Garrett Atkins, making roughly $7 million this year. Atkins began the year so poorly that he lost his starting job to Ian Stewart. On the season,...

With the recent callup of first baseman Aaron Bates to the club, it’s clear that the Sox are concerned about their offensive viability. With the All-Star break around the corner, the club could have opted to keep Jeff Bailey on the roster despite his high-ankle...
