Kevin Youkilis: To Trade or Not To Trade?

By ⋅ June 2, 2012 ⋅ 4 comments

Friday played host to a slew of rumors surrounding the Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis. At the start of the day, the report was the Red Sox were telling teams they would trade Youkilis this season. Later that day, Red Sox General Manager Ben Cherington called the reports “inaccurate.” Trade rumors are a common commodity [...]

By ⋅ May 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Shhhhh. While the Celtics are busy in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Red Sox have quietly moved two games above .500 for the first time this season and are now just 2.5 games out of first place. How, you ask? Well, the Sox stuck to a formula that has them rolling lately (they have now [...]

9th Inning Collapse Costs Red Sox Against Rays

By ⋅ May 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Both teams struggled much of the time to put anything together, but in the end, a well-placed home run on a not-so-well-placed pitched in the final inning allowed the Tampa Bay Rays to defeat the Boston Red Sox 4-3. Boston might have had something going in the 1st, but Dustin Pedroia was called out and [...]

By ⋅ May 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Finally back at .500, the Boston Red Sox squandered their first opportunity at a winning record this season, falling 4-1 Tuesday night to the Baltimore Orioles. Felix Doubront pitched a solid six innings, striking out nine and giving up just four hits, allowing his only runs on a Steve Tolleson two-run home run in the second [...]

Red Sox Bats Overcome Buchholz’s Struggles in Win Over Orioles

By ⋅ May 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox are no longer in the basement of the American League East. Well, at least they’re not in the basement alone. The 8-6 win over the first place Baltimore Orioles combined with the New York Yankees loss tied the rivals with even 21-21 records for fourth place in the division. The win was [...]

Aviles, Saltalamacchia Homer in Red Sox Rubber-Match Win

By ⋅ May 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In a typical start by Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee, teams that manage two runs count themselves lucky. The Boston Red Sox scored five against the dominating lefty Sunday afternoon, and they didn’t waste them. Mike Aviles and Jarrod Saltalamacchia both homered for the second straight day, and Josh Beckett held the Phillies to one run [...]

Red Sox Home Runs Not Enough in 6-4 Loss in Philadelphia

By ⋅ May 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The adventures of Daniel Bard as a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in 2012 continues. On Friday night, the erratic pitcher continued to miss the strike zone early against the Philadelphia Phillies in what ended up a 6-4 Red Sox loss. The Phillies’ offense walked all over Bard in the first, and from [...]

Adrian Gonzalez Home Run Guarantee Falls Short

By ⋅ May 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

“I’ll start hitting home runs,” Adrian Gonzalez said after Wednesday’s game. “I’ll hit a homer (Thursday).” So, now that Thursday’s game is in the books, how did he do? Well, upon hearing Gonzalez’s comments, David Price retweeted this to his 87,000+ followers: Moore should put one right between his numbers. @TBTimes_Rays: Gonzo guarantee: “I’ll homer [...]

Cody Ross Powers Red Sox to 5-3 Win at the Trop

Jon Lester Finishes Mariners in 6-1 Red Sox Win

By ⋅ May 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was the type of outing it seemed like Jon Lester was due for. The Seattle Mariners brought their offensively challenged lineup to face the Sox ace, and he effectively shut them down in an impressive complete game win. Jason Vargas took the mound for Seattle to face the red-hot Red Sox, who were coming [...]

Pink Bats Explode for Red Sox in Dominant Mother’s Day Blowout

By ⋅ May 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Mother’s Day has a good ring to it at Fenway Park. The most memorable game the Sox played was the “Mother’s Day miracle”, when they scored six runs in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 for a dramatic win. Sunday’s game between Boston and the Cleveland Indians might not [...]

What is (was?) Wrong with Adrian Gonzalez?

By ⋅ May 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Boston Red Sox brought Adrian Gonzalez from cavernous Petco Park in San Diego to the cozy confines of Fenway Park, the team had visions of record-setting performances from their new slugger. Just not the record he set on Sunday. Just when it seemed Gonzalez had perhaps turned a corner with a pair of [...]

Red Sox Lose in 17 Innings to Orioles

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox attempted to avoid being swept by the Baltimore Orioles as they sent Clay Buchholz on the mound on Sunday. Unfortunately the game turned into a ridiculous 17-inning affair ending in a brutally painful 9-6 Sox loss. Darnell McDonald earned the loss after the Sox depleted their available bullpen options and were forced to [...]

Aaron Cook Injured, Battered by Orioles in Red Sox Loss

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Aaron Cook was hoping for a better first start in Boston. A much anticipated debut for the Red Sox on Saturday was shattered early, as a second inning collision with Chris Davis left a large gash in his leg. He amazingly stayed in the game, but probably would have been better off hitting the showers, [...]
