The Red Sox attempted to avoid being swept by the Baltimore Orioles as they sent Clay Buchholz on the mound on Sunday.

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, [...]

By ⋅ May 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Red Sox starter Aaron Cook wasn’t very good in his first start with the team. He went 2.2 innings, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits. But, most of the damage came after one ugly incident. In the second inning, Jarrod Saltalamacchia was charged with a passed ball. He then tried to throw it [...]

A month into the season, and many teams are holding steady. But there’s still some changes going on. Some lower ranked teams are making some runs to get back into things, while others continue to sputter and be streaky. The DL continues to hoard some big names, which always mixes things up, so let’s look [...]

Manny Ramirez’s Return: Orioles or A’s… Why Bother?

By ⋅ February 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Do you ever get the feeling like there’s no one on earth who loves you? That feeling that you’re completely alone in the world, completely abandoned by people who once cared so much for you? I bet that Oakland Athletics and Baltimore Orioles fans feel that way all the time. These two franchises had so much to look forward [...]

Blame it on the rain. On a night that started out looking like everything could be forgotten. The Red Sox would make the playoffs and the collapse would be nothing but an after thought. The Rays were down 7-0 to the Yankees and the Red Sox were up on the Orioles. Unfortunately, the baseball gods [...]

Reddick Helps Beat Yankees in Walk-Off Thriller; Sox Take Over 1st in AL East

By ⋅ August 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Criticize the marathon games that come from baseball’s best rivalry if you will, but boy do the Sox and Yankees deliver some cardiac action.
