IN THE FIELD Tim Wakefield last pitched in a game on September 28, meaning that while he will be extremely well-rested, the potential exists that he will be far too rusty to make a meaningful contribution. The question then becomes: how long of a leash do we offer...

Buster Olney had a chat up today with two interesting tidbits… Heard this informed speculation this morning — Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka, Byrd in Games 1-7. It’s hard to start Wakefield against the Rays because they run so well. This is a pretty...

Jason Bay and Jed Lowrie may be new to a Boston uniform, but they’ve proven unbelievably crucial to the Red Sox season. Jed Lowrie, despite his .258/.339 line on the season has proven himself more than capable of being the Red Sox’s longterm shortstop. In...

Tim Wakefield is usually stellar at the Trop. Last night, he was not. Wakefield gave up six runs in less than three innings pitched as Willie Aybar collected three RBI’s in the win. Boston is now two games back in the A. L. East. Goat of the Game: Wakefield...
