On a night when Clay Buchholz admits he didn’t bring his best, the young starter allowed only one earned run on five hits, further solidifying his place in the Red Sox rotation, and earning the Red Sox yet another win over the Baltimore Orioles, 3-1. Buchholz...

GAME NOTES: Clay Buchholz locks horns with the Orioles and Jeremy Guthrie. It seems like Buchholz keeps facing the Orioles. Of course, he has that no-hitter… but the Orioles have also bombed him unrelentingly. Although Buck looks like he can be our No. 3 in the...

A few years back, I was introduced to a simple site on the Internet that gave me a different and useful lens on the baseball season. Doug’s Stats (www.dougstats.com) looks much like it did the day I stumbled on it in 2003. It hasn’t gotten a Web 2.0...

The Los Angeles Angels didn’t want to leave Fenway without at least one win for the trip home, as the AL West leaders beat the Red Sox, 4-3. A wild pitch in the seventh tarnished an otherwise solid start for Josh Beckett, who went eight innings for seven hits...

With just under three weeks left in the regular season, the field is almost done filling out, with just five teams holding real hopes of reaching the post season: Boston, New York, Detroit, Minnesota, and Los Angeles. Anaheim is up 6 in the West, Detroit is up 4 on...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett looks like he’s coming out of that funk he was mired in for a couple weeks. He’ll do it against Ervin Santana, who has had a bad year after busting through last year. I’ll be at the game, so let’s hope we see a good...

The Turning Point There’s no better way to enter the playoffs than on a hot streak, unless, of course, your opponent is reeling in defeat. The ninth inning of last night’s game must have put a real damper on the spirit in the Los Angeles clubhouse. After...

Alex Gonzalez earned himself a valuable pair of singles, as the Red Sox checked off their seventh victory in just eight days, against the Los Angeles Angels, 9-8. Watching A-Gonz at the center of the home plate pig-pile still takes some getting used to, but after...

GAME NOTES: Paul Byrd makes what could be his final start for the Red Sox, as Tim Wakefield is due back shortly. Byrd has been a nice arm for the Sox so far. Can he shut down that offense?
