This past off-season Jon Lester’s name was more often in the news as a result of his inclusion in trade rumors for a left handed ace than in conversations about being a left handed ace. This season has gone a long way to proving Lester to be just that. What...

Sean Casey flew out to right field to end the game stranding base runners on every base down by one run in the top of the ninth. I find it weird that Jason Bay had another chance to be the hero.

July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...
by shawn medeiros | Aug 3, 2008 | Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jed Lowrie, Jonathan Papelbon, Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics
Jed Lowrie’s triple to deep center field that plated two was the difference in the Red Sox 5-2 win. It gave Boston a 3-0 edge at the time and Boston led the rest of the way through as Daisuke Matsuzaka earned his 12th win over six innings of work with only two...

It’s only natural to forgive Charlie Zink if he’s envious of former Pawtucket Red Sox teammate Brandon Moss. Moss, of course, was one of the players sent to Pittsburgh in the three-way deal involving the Dodgers who obtained Manny Ramirez. Zink’s...
