I am not a proponent of the sacrifice bunt in most cases. For example, with one out, I don’t believe in the sacrifice…ever. So the fact that the Red Sox don’t bunt runners over doesn’t, for the most part, bother me at all. However, there are...

Tim Wakefield had lost 5 straight road games to the Los Angeles Angels. He looked well on his way to breaking that streak with a four run lead heading into the bottom of the third. Mike Napoli made sure Wakefield’s streak extended to six games with one swing of...

>p>Big Papi appeared to be getting his swing back, but got hit hard on the other wrist last nigh, in such a way that I am surprised he is playing. The Sox don’t need another set back with David Ortiz. In theory, if he heads for the DL, and I half expect...

At what point can the Red Sox wait to address their AL-worst starting corps (or should I say corpse?), second-last in the bigs with a 5.81 ERA? Even the Yankees are faring better with a 5.64 ERA. Yes, Jon Lester has been burned by his defense — but he still has...

The Red Sox didn’t want to be the only Boston team to lose tonight. J.D. Drew started Boston’s rally with a solo-shot (5) in the second inning tying the game at 1-1. Drew would also help finish off the Angels in the ninth. Drew lead off the ninth with a...
