The Red Sox continued their recent winning ways this weekend by taking 2 games of 3 from the Tampa Bay Rays. In his third career start, Boston right-hander Anthony Ranaudo tamed Tampa Bay over 6 innings of work, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits, and striking out 4. The...

The Boston Red Sox have won seven of eight contests after struggling to win a series in early July and are just six games under .500 at 46-52. They are six games out of the second wild card spot and 7.5 games out of the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles. The team has...

From our inception as Boston Red Sox fans, we have been taught to despise the New York Yankees, to hate anything and anyone associated with them, to worship arguably the greatest rivalry in sports. After so much anguish at their hands – 1978, the 1999 ALCS, the...

After an extended hiatus, 3 Up 3 Down returns to give you a look at who performed well and who did not over the past week of Red Sox baseball. After what has been a tumultuous season (that could be the understatement of the season), the Boston Red Sox, after taking 2...

The Boston Red Sox are now 27-29 on the season after a perfect 7-0 week. The win on Monday ended a 10-game losing streak in which the Red Sox pitching was subpar and the hitting with runners in scoring position barely happened. Over the past week, the Red Sox pitching...

After the Toronto Blue Jays took the first two games of the series, the Red Sox hoped to salvage the Thursday’s series finale and end a 6 game losing skid. Both clubs sent their staff ace to the mound, as southpaws Jon Lester and Mark Buehrle squared off. Right...

In the 2013 regular season the Red Sox committed 80 errors in 162 games. That total ranked them as the eight best team in the Majors and the fifth best in the American League (although strangely enough only fourth best in their own division behind Baltimore, Tampa...

The Boston Red Sox signed some additional infield help on Monday with the right-handed Ryan Roberts inking a deal. Roberts opted out of a deal with the Chicago Cubs on March 27 and the Red Sox needed some infield help with Will Middlebrooks ending up on the DL this...

The human heart is essential for life. It pumps blood through our system and without it, a person can’t live. The same applies to the heart of a baseball order and a team’s success. A team could have a flailing heart that could lead to a dead offense, much...

I don’t think anyone will truly be able to express the elation + stomach-turning cocktail of feelings that come with postseason play. Language just isn’t that precise enough, nor is it truly that descriptive. But in the end, it’s something of a...
