2009 MLB Playoffs Pick ‘Em: LCS

By ⋅ October 15, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

The playoffs are in full swing, and sadly, the Red Sox have been eliminated, falling in a shocking three-game sweep at the hands of the Angels. They can break our hearts, but they can’t break our competitive spirits! Not only were a few of us were fooled by the Sox-Angels series, but the Dodgers-Cardinals series [...]

Sox Lose Dream as Rays Win Game 7

By ⋅ October 20, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox had used all their energy to get to Game 7 of the ALCS. With no Mike Lowell or even Manny Ramirez (though Jason Bay has been a nice substitute), the Red Sox clawed their way to a deciding game after being down in the series 3-1. For the first time since 2003, [...]

Miracle Red Sox Force Game 7

By ⋅ October 19, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

You all know the story. In fact, this is the fourth time since 2003 that the Red Sox have forced a Game 7 in the ALCS after winning Game 6. They did so by beating the Rays 4-2 behind a gutsy effort from an injured Josh Beckett. The Sox righty allowed two runs on four [...]

Sox Have History on Their Side in Game 6

By ⋅ October 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Tonight, the Red Sox will take on the Tampa Bay Rays in another do-or-die game for the team. The Sox made a miraculous comeback in Game 5, down 7-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, to win 8-7 and force Game 6. Josh Beckett will take the mound and oppose righty “Big Game” James [...]

Red Sox Stage Historic Comeback, Force Game 6

By ⋅ October 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Scott Kazmir, who was pushed up to Game 5 for a variety of reasons, pitched a gem through six innings, but Boston’s patient bats forced him out of the game as he reached 111 pitches. When Kazmir left the game, the Red Sox were down 5-0 through six, and by the time they came to [...]

Red Sox Reeling after Rays Win 13-4

By ⋅ October 15, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We have them right where we want them! Isn’t the 2008 ALCS looking a lot like the 2004 and 2007 ALCS? While the Red Sox have little chance at moving onto the World Series, there always is just that little chance. They have looked really bad in two games at Fenway Park, punctuated by a 13-4 embarassing loss [...]

Rays Blast Red Sox 9-1 in Game 3

By ⋅ October 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Tampa Bay Rays came into Boston for Game 3 and blasted four home runs (B.J. Upton, Evan Longoria, Rocco Baldelli, Carlos Pena) en route to a 9-1 victory. Joe Maddon’s crew now has a 2-1 series lead, and can end the series in Boston with wins in Game 4 and 5. Jon Lester was [...]

Tropicana Field Might be on National TV Soon

By ⋅ October 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Here’s something a lot of people don’t exactly think about much: the quality of one of the baseball stadiums that might be involved in the World Series. I’m referring to the closed dome stadium in Tampa, Tropicana Field. The reason I bring this up is that we are three Tampa wins away from having this [...]

Beckett Horrible in Sox Extra-Inning Loss

By ⋅ October 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox offense exploded for four home runs in Game 2, and most of the time it’s good enough for a win. Well, that’s unless you have the 2008 version of Josh Beckett on the hill to start the game, and the 2008 version of Mike Timlin to close it out. Josh Beckett absolutely [...]

The Boston Red Sox Win the ALCS

By ⋅ October 22, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Down three games to one the Red Sox have come back against the Cleveland Indians to advance to the World Series. It’s only been since 2004 since the Red Sox have been to the World Series but this is a special year. This is a different team and there have been different conditions. There has [...]

Game 4: Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians In-Game Report

By ⋅ October 16, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim Wakefield (17-12, 4.76) vs Paul Byrd (15-8, 4.59) ALL GAME LONG Paul Byrd looked good in the first inning, hitting his spots. Paul Byrd past 76 pitches has guys hitting .377 or higher so the Sox need to work the count. Both old guys are pitching well… this is a nerve racking one. Who [...]

Boston Red Sox Win Game 1: Boston Dominates 10-3

By ⋅ October 12, 2007 ⋅ One comment

C.C. Sabathia was awful tonight. Beckett was great. Boston’s offense was awesome. And after Game 1 Boston has all the momentum and Cleveland needs to start something. Another News Alert: David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are still hot. Both had two hits along with Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis, Ortiz, and Ramirez in total scored 7 runs. [...]

ALCS Preview: Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians

By ⋅ October 10, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

Like the last three years, this ALCS is Yankee-light. Cause the Yankees sucked. But I digress, the Cleveland Indians are a better ballclub than the Yankees this year and they are built for the playoffs. Cleveland has two very strong pitching Aces and a couple quality veteran starters. They have clutch hitters, speed to put [...]
