The stage was set for Daisuke Matsuzaka to have a big showing, but Brandon Moss and Manny Ramirez stole the spotlight. Down by one in the top of the ninth inning, Moss, who had an RBI single earlier in the ball game, drove a Houston Street low and inside fastball over...

The comments section of Fire Brand has been abuzz with trying to get Huston Street. Forget about it. Oakland has been linked to Boston outfielder Coco Crisp in past trade rumors, and the Red Sox have shopped Crisp this offseason, but recent rumblings of a Huston...

Our condolences go out to Joe Kennedy’s family for their loss. Kennedy, 28, came up with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2001 and in his first two years, looked to be a promising young starter for them. The wheels fell off in 2003, however, and he went to Colorado,...

The triumphant return of Jon Lester last night certainly inspired many. It’s no small task to return from cancer to one of the biggest stages in the sports world, starting pitcher for a major league team, let alone the Boston Red Sox. However, it happened....
