With AL East ramifications on the line, the Red Sox began a 4 game series North of the boarder in the best way possible. Boston’s offense exploded against Toronto Blue Jays pitching, tallying 14 total runs on 18 hits. The Red Sox began their offensive onslaught...

Red Sox Nation has spent much of this season focusing on two major issues: How bad/annoying/swing at the first pitch-y A.J Pierzynski is as well as whether or not Jackie Bradley, Jr, will ever hit enough to justify his other worldly defense in the daily lineup. As AJP...

The All-Star Break took place this past week, and as the festivities began and homers started to fly out of Target Field in a (somewhat disappointing) Home Run Derby, I decided to make last week’s poll Derby-themed. In our hypothetical all-Sox Derby, you HUGELY...

Don’t look now, but the Red Sox are streaking with exactly 10 day to go before the July 31st trade deadline. Over the weekend, Boston took 3 straight from the Kansas City Royals, and improved their season record to 46-52. On Friday, it was Clay Buchholz who got...

The Boston Red Sox have won seven of eight contests after struggling to win a series in early July and are just six games under .500 at 46-52. They are six games out of the second wild card spot and 7.5 games out of the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles. The team has...

Dating back to the final two games of the Chicago White Sox series, the 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have now won seven of their last eight games. While this is all well and good, I unfortunately now believe it has fostered a sense of hope among Red Sox...

The trade deadline is less than two weeks away. How the Red Sox approach it will have a lasting effect on not only this season, but many to come as well. Okay, sure Boston’s deficit in the AL is pretty big, but 8 games isnt the end of the world. In 2014, the...

With endless apologies to my wife, my bookcase at home is spilling over with baseball. The top shelf? Nothing but Red Sox books. And it being deep summer and because nothing is better than reading a baseball book in a saggy hammock or on a toasty beach with a salty...

The Red Sox won last night. They beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. Bucholtz got the win, Scott Downs was credited with the loss, and Koji notched save number 19. Just another night in Boston. Admittedly, that win felt very good. I’m trying not to delude myself into...
