After losing the first two games against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday and Saturday, the Red Sox were able to avoid the sweep by taking care of their division rivals on Sunday. Allen Webster started for Boston, and was constantly dancing into and out of trouble through...

In his short time with the Boston Red Sox, Jonny Gomes has endeared himself to Red Sox Nation quicker than any other player in recent memory. It’s difficult not to take notice of Gomes and his quasi folk hero personality. Between the punting of the beer cans after...

The Red Sox drafted Jon Lester in 2002. He’s spent his entire career with the club, overcome cancer with the club, and won two World Series rings with the club. His teammates refer to him as a role model, and he’s been a force at the top of the rotation for the Red...

For most of the first half of the season, Jackie Bradley Jr. was a superstar on defense, and the complete opposite on offense. The defense alone made him a valuable player and one to keep starting, since good defensive center fielders are slowly becoming more and more...

The Red Sox snapped their 6 game winning streak with a 7-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. In what could be his last start as a Red Sox, Jake Peavy pitched 5 effective innings before watching the wheels come off in the 6th and 7th. As has been the case...

After getting nearly everything right in the offseason leading up to 2013, GM Ben Cherington missed on a few signings this past winter. Grady Sizemore looked like a cheap, worthwhile risk to take, but he didn’t work out, and the Red Sox couldn’t afford to carry his...
