On Friday, we looked at the 2008 ZiPS projections for the Red Sox, which sees the Red Sox as the best team in the American League. I’m not seeing it. I see some flaws — big ones. Fortunately, we can correct (or minimize) these flaws. To me, there are two...

Last night was one of the more frustrating games of the Red Sox season. Fausto Carmona was dealing, mixing pitches with perfection and keeping our lineup off balance all night, and it almost seemed like a lost cause. The Sox were putrid last night against the Indians...

It is safe to say going into the game that Josh Beckett vs Jake Peavy was the best piching matchup of season. Well, Beckett was the better pitcher in this game beating a good Peavy with down right filthy stuff in the 4-2 win. Beckett’s first inning which went...

In a battle of an ageless dart throwing ace, Greg Maddux, versus a hurler with many pitches, Daisuke Matsuzaka, the two different styles gave fans nothing short of a pure masterpiece. Although the “professor of the game”, Maddux (6-4) and the San Diego...

The month of May was good to the Red Sox. The Red Sox went 20-8 despite many people slumping. It’s quite impressive how well the team is playing despite those slumps. This month also saw several people come up from the minors to contribute: Javier Lopez, Kason...
