Dominate pitching at Fenway Park could only last so long. Daisuke Matsuzaka took the hill one game after Jon Lester’s near perfect game. Dice-K got rocked for five runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings pitched with no walks and eight strikeouts. Nelson Cruz and...
by shawn medeiros | Jun 7, 2009 | David Ortiz, Game Recap, Jon Lester
This is the Jon Lester every Red Sox fan expected this season. Lester pitched a perfect game into the sixth inning giving up a double to Michael Young with one out. Lester retired the first 19 batters of the game and finished with a complete game win allowing one run...
by shawn medeiros | Jun 6, 2009 | Brad Penny, Game Recap, Ian Kinsler
If Brady Penny is going to be traded then this outing didn’t help the Boston Red Sox front office. Ian Kinsler lined a three-run homer over The Monster in the fifth inning to cap off a four run frame and the Texas Rangers beat Boston, 5-1. Penny suffered his...

As Nick Green and Julio Lugo team up in an attempt to break the record for most errors out of shortstop (and we thought Edgar Renteria was bad), it’s time to start looking at outside options. Green has been a great fill-in with the bat after no one expected him...
by shawn medeiros | Jun 4, 2009 | David Ortiz, Dennis Eckersley, Game Recap, J.D. Drew, Josh Beckett
Josh Beckett didn’t need the early run support. He didn’t allow a hit until the seventh inning. Beckett cruised to his sixth victory striking out nine but gave up a hit with two outs in the seventh to Curtis Granderson to lose the no-no. It’s not...
