Today’s All-Aughts Team of the Decade entrants will number two. This morning you’re getting the best reliever of the decade as well as one-half of the best relief pitching tandem the Sox have witnessed in a long time. This afternoon, you get the other...

There were plenty of home runs and plenty of excitement in Game 2 of the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay as the Rays took this one in extras, 11 innings to be exact, 9-8 on a sacrifice-fly from B.J. Upton. Both teams combined for seven home runs on...

ALCS playoff roster: Gil Velazquez out. Mike Timlin in. Timlin over Hansack? Meh. I know that Timlin has Grit and Experience, but…

Carlos Pena’s three-run opposite field three-run homer off of Mike Timlin was the difference in a 4-2 loss to Tampa. This marks the first time that the Rays have ever won a series at Fenway and they now take a 2 1/2 game lead over the Red Sox in the A. L. East....

July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...

My buddy Sean Williams ran into Mike Timlin at Logan Airport today, where he’s flying to Rochester for a rehab appearance. Timlin pitched last night against Richmond, pitching a clean inning. Timlin said he’s going to be on the disabled list for one more...

We’ve been speculating for a long time about the future of Mike Timlin with this team given his performance and today the Red Sox “phantom injury department” drummed up another to keep Mike Timlin from suffering the humiliation of being released....

Ryan Howard’s batting average so far this season has been on the low side, but after romping the Red Sox with his four RBI’s and two homers that average has spiked up a bit. Howard hit a two-run homer in the first inning after Jimmy Rollins lead off the...

Boston’s offense wasted no time in letting their bullpen have a chance to blow up another game scoring five runs in the first inning led by a Jason Varitek three-run home run against the Baltimore Orioles to win 6-3. Good thing the Sox jumped out to an early...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...
