Everyone loves Mookie Betts, myself included. But everyone has also been very quick to point out Betts’ apparently ‘blocked’ path to the Major Leagues. Most Boston fans probably love Dustin Pedroia just a little bit more and they know that...

Even though Rubby De La Rosa hasn’t started in the majors since August 2011 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the young flamethrower will get the ball Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Rays in the place of Clay Buchholz, who is on the 15-day DL with a...

After taking the first three games of the series, the Red Sox looked to finish off the sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night. While the match-up of Jake Peavy and Mike Minor did not seem destine for a pitching duel, that’s exactly what took place in game...

After taking the first two games of the series in Atlanta, the Red Sox returned to Fenway Park to complete their 4 game set with the Braves. John Lackey took the hill for Boston turned in 6.1 innings of shutout work, striking out 9, and allowing just 5 hits. Behind...

After a 10- game losing streak, arguably the darkest period in recent Red Sox memory since the days of Bobby Valentine, Boston has turned it around and won two game in a row against Atlanta. Boston came into Monday stuck in a notorious slump, where both their pitching...

The 2014 season has been hard on the Red Sox to start with, but the 10-game losing streak was a low that not even the Bobby Valentine lead 2012 Red Sox reached. While the team is still below .500 and still in last place in the AL East, they were finally able to secure...

Today marked the end of the Red Sox 10-game losing streak, a dubious accomplishment that I can say I wouldn’t have expected from the defending champs. The Sox currently sit at 21-29, solidly in last place in the AL East. With still over 100 games remaining in the...

The Boston Red Sox had not lost 10 games in a row since 1994, but the three consecutive sweeps by the hand of the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays and the Tamp Bay Rays sent the Red Sox on a tailspin as they are now 20-29 on the season. The squad is eight games back...
