My article from this morning may have just taken on a little extra context as it appears Mike Lowell is headed to the DL after a setback with his right hip. @amaliebenjamin with the...

With Mike Lowell’s recent injury concerns creeping back into the active conscious of Red Sox Nation, depth at the corners and in the middle of the lineup has suddenly been thrust to the forefront of the early pre-trade deadline chatter. Much of the Red Sox trade...

Still want to trade Brad Penny? Although Penny did not get the win last night he went six scoreless innings only walking one batter and struck out five. Boston rallied in the eighth inning, how fitting, to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to start the season 8-0 against...

Two things remained perfect last night at Fenway Park. With the win, Tim Wakefield improved to 5-0 this season at home and the Boston Red Sox improved to 7-0 against the New York Yankees also this season. Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis both homered and Jonathan...

If only the replay system could be used to fix David Ortiz’s swing. For the second straight day at Fenway Park a potential home run was reviewed. Kevin Youkilis hit a shot to left field in the fifth inning but it was ruled foul. Meanwhile, Ortiz continued to...

David Ortiz is finally smiling again. And so is Red Sox Nation. In the fifth inning after Jason Varitek belted his second homer of the game, Big Papi ended his 149 at-bat homerless drought with a two-run home run to center field. Then the Red Sox launched two more big...

With Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz sidelined, the Boston Red Sox are starting to feel the affects. Replacements at third and fourth in the lineup, Jason Bay and Mike Lowell went 0-for-8 and the Red Sox collapsed in the bottom of the ninth on a Nick Green throwing...

New venue, same drama. The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will always be eventful. Jason Bay hit a two-run homer off the left field foul pole — his sixth of the season — in the seventh inning to give Boston a seemingly...

Nick Green isn’t making Terry Francona’s decision to play Julio Lugo over him easy while teammate Kevin Youkilis isn’t making opposing pitchers’ jobs on the mound any easier. Green and Youkilis both drove in three RBI’s apiece and Tim...

Do you? Do you remember 2007? Where Beckett made Hanley Ramirez an after-thought? Post-2007, Hanley was merely Khalil Greene in the eyes of Red Sox fans. Maybe not Khalil, but you get my point, right? What Beckett did was incredible. We didn’t actually think...
