In the wake of the dramatic September collapse by the Boston Red Sox, a sea of changes has come in waves, one after another: manager Terry Francona is gone, general manager Theo Epstein has departed for Chicago, Ben Cherington was announced as the new GM, and John Lackey will undergo Tommy John surgery.

If the Red Sox and Rangers face each other in the playoffs, the scorekeepers had best prepare: there will be runs, and lots of them. Sunday afternoon at Fenway was no exception.

Adrian Gonzalez may have out-homered Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby, but Fielder’s home run mattered most Tuesday night at the 82nd All-Star Game at Chase Stadium in Phoenix. Fielder’s three-run home run off Texas’ C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning drove in the winning runs, and National League pitchers limited American League [...]

Red Sox 2011 Third Base Preview: Kevin Youkilis

By ⋅ February 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We continue our week-long series of previews with former first baseman and now-third baseman Kevin Youkilis. I’ve recently figured out why Kevin Youkilis is so popular. It’s not his bat. It’s not that he plays the game with reckless, Patrick Ewing-level sweaty abandon. It’s that most men in Boston look like him. We see him in us. [...]

The best Red Sox third baseman of this millennium declined his player option on Wednesday and will become a free agent.

By ⋅ September 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After Sunday’s demoralizing loss to the New York Yankees, nearly all hope for the playoffs was lost.

By ⋅ September 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Josh Beckett entered Friday night’s game looking to chase the demons and beat the Yankees on their own turf. With a heavy curveball and a low-90′s fastball with movement, Beckett stymied the Yanks through the first five innings, allowing just one run on a Curtis Granderson blast in the third. As has been the case [...]

By ⋅ September 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It was something David Ortiz had experienced over 300 times before the season even began. It was something Josh Reddick had experienced once. Yet Wednesday night at Fenway, the Red Sox superstar and the Red Sox call-up experienced the same thing: the joy of the home run. Ortiz and Reddick each homered to right, and [...]

By ⋅ September 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment
