It may be time to hit the panic button for Red Sox Nation. Clay Buchholz (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season pitching for 4 2/3 innings, on five hits, two runs, one earned, two walks, and five strikeouts as the Boston Red Sox saw their lead over the New York...

August was an interesting month for the Red Sox, as the Sox saw their pision lead dwindle, rise, dwindle again with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees, and now we’re getting comfortable again a week into September. The dog-days of August are over, and the...

The Red Sox survived an eight run sixth inning rally from the Toronto Blue Jays who were down 10-1 entering the inning beating them 13-10. Mike Lowell was the offensive star of the game for the Red Sox going 3-4 with his 18th homerun of the season, four RBI’s,...

The upcoming series at Yankee Stadium has been circled on the calendars of Red Sox fans across the world since the schedules were announced this past spring. With memories of last year’s Boston Massacre still fresh in our minds, we looked forward to this series...

David Ortiz has been hurt all season long with shoulder and knee problems, but this time Ortiz let Jeff Weaver feel some pain with a go-ahead grand slam homerun that catapulted the Boston Red Sox (74-49) to an eventual 10-5 victory. After being down 5-0 going into the...

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...
