As of Thursday morning, the Sox stand seven games behind the New York Yankees in the division race and one game ahead of the Rangers in the Wild Card. The Yankees are cruising right now, with a great opportunity to seal up the division this weekend. The Sox...

During the game yesterday, Oakland Athletics shortstop Orlanda Cabrera was shown on camera asking a teammate “how can you hit that.” Carbera was referencing Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball that was dancing all around the plate last night. Wakefield...
