The Red Sox continued their winning ways on Wednesday by completing a 2 game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. In his second career major league start, Red Sox righty Anthony Ranaudo wasn’t as crisp as he was in his major league debut, but managed to hold the Reds...

For the second straight night, the Red Sox were propelled to a victory on the strength of a Yoenis Cespedes 8th inning home run. However, unlike his tie-breaking home run on Sunday, Cespedes’ blast on Tuesday night came with the Red Sox trailing by a run. Brock...

Although the Red Sox ended up trading long-time ace Jon Lester at the deadline, they did get a pretty good player in return from the A’s in Yoenis Cespedes. GM Ben Cherington acknowledged that Boston fielded some attractive offers involving prospects prior to dealing...

The Boston Red Sox started off an 8-game road trip with a series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals before nearly sweeping the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend. With only two games left before heading back to the confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox look like a team...

After collecting their first series since mid-July, the Red Sox will finish their road trip with a brief two game stop in Cincinnati on Tuesday. Joe Kelly will take the mound for the second time as a member of the Red Sox, while the Reds are scheduled to throw...

The Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim over the weekend, and claimed their first series win since sweeping the Kansas City Royals in late July. Allen Webster took the mound for the Red Sox on Friday, and was much better than he was in his previous...

After a week hiatus from @firebrandal “Tweets of the Week” we return with this past week’s best tweets from Red Sox Nation. I hope everyone enjoyed the short-lived west coast trip out to Anaheim because I know our east coasters really enjoy 19-inning...

The knee-jerk, hot-off-the-press answer, in my opinion, would be yes. Before anyone gets too angry, take a minute and think. Obviously, people want to remember the second-MLB start no-hitter, or the 2013 streak of best pitcher in the world. But I really don’t...

With the season effectively over, it sometimes feels pointless and futile to recapitulate the goings on of the team from day to day and week to week from here on out. It seems extraneous and irrelevant to analyze players’ performances if they are all for naught....

When the trade that sent John Lackey to the St. Louis Cardinals was made, most people weren’t sure what to think. In general, people liked Allen Craig but had nothing to think of for Joe Kelly. Granted, fans expected someone like Shelby Miller and his 5...
