Dating back to the final two games of the Chicago White Sox series, the 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have now won seven of their last eight games. While this is all well and good, I unfortunately now believe it has fostered a sense of hope among Red Sox...

The newly crowned last place Red Sox opened up a 4 game series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Clay Buchholz made his third start since returning from the disabled list, and was opposed by Chicago’s sinker-baller Scott Carroll. Home runs...

Maybe you are one of the optimistic Red Sox fans who believes this 2014 team has a second half run in them. You argue that despite being a season worst ten games under .500, the team is actually only nine games out of first place. You remind your fellow fans that...

Red Sox games during the 2014 season follow one of two paths; either the pitching is great and the offense can’t hit, or the pitching is trash and the offense is scoring. Boston chose the ladder of the two during the series opener against the Seattle Mariners on...

After Monday’s loss against the Cleveland Indians snapped the Red Sox 7 game win streak, Boston sought to even up the series in Cleveland on Tuesday. Red Sox right-hander Jake Peavy took the mound for Boston and struggled early, allowing hits to the first 5...

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to and end”. For the Red Sox, their “good thing” ended on Monday night, when the Cleveland Indians snapped Boston’s seven game winning streak. Former Red Sox pitcher Justin Masterson...

The Red Sox kept their winning streak alive over the weekend after sweeping a three game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. To kick off the series, the two division rivals nearly came to blows after David Price hit David Ortiz in the first inning and Mike Carp in the...

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...

Another game, another shoddy start and subsequent loss for the Red Sox; this time it was Clay Buchholz spoiling Boston’s chances to end a 5 game losing skid. The slender right-hander was hit hard by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night, allowing 5 runs on 9...

The Red Sox and Stephen Drew coming to terms on a one-year deal on Tuesday was both unexpected and unsurprising. The news broke out of nowhere on an otherwise normal afternoon, but it also came in response to growing evidence that Ben Cherington needed to upgrade...
