The setting was perfect. Eric Gagne was striding into the mound, part of the last vestiges of the Boston bullpen. With a clean inning, he could start erasing doubts about his abilities and add a few million to his incentive-laden contract he will sign with another...

Some quick Red Sox/Indians notes before we finish the ALCS Know Thy Enemy
by shawn medeiros | Oct 2, 2007 | 2007 ALDS, Tim Wakefield
The major surprise in the Red Sox’ ALDS roster is the exclusion of Tim Wakefield, whose back is not healthy enough to serve the bullpen role that Terry Francona would have otherwise expected. Here’s the roster: Batters: Kevin Cash (C), Alex Cora (IF), Coco...

Last year, the experience was shattered by an August collapse. In 2005, the postseason was washed away in the blink of an eye. The magical postseasons of 2004 and 2003 will never be forgotten, and we all sincerely hope 2007 adds its name to that cherished list. The...

Tim Wakefield lost his first game at Tropicana Field 5-4 to the Devil Rays and the Boston Red Sox lead in the A.L. East has slipped to 1 1/2 games over the New York Yankees. A two-run homerun by Rookie of the Year candidate Delmon Young put the D-Rays on top 2-0 in...

Here’s a curious case. There are 16 major league pitchers on the active roster. I can only select one who should not make the postseason roster: Devern Hansack, who has pitched 7.2 IP on the year so far this year. Those innings came May 8, 19 and September 8....

Okay, I wouldn’t say “too close for comfort,” but after last night I have an uneasy feeling. Last night’s game was just a lackluster performance all the way around. Tim Wakefield’s knuckler didn’t have a lot of bite, resulting in a...
