Should Red Sox Target C.J. Wilson, CC Sabathia, or Mark Buehrle?

By ⋅ October 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

C.J. Wilson and CC Sabathia will both be free agents in a matter of days, but that does not mean that the Red Sox need to pay hand over fist for either of these pitchers. Yeah, what a concept, free agents that the Red Sox don’t have to sign. Call me crazy, but the Sox [...]

Why is Josh Beckett so Hated?

By ⋅ October 8, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

With the collapse of the 2011 Red Sox a week into the past, we can finally begin to rationally decide who to irrationally blame. While I’m all for the torches and pitchforks, one member of the Red Sox is receiving an unfair amount of the heat. Then again, Josh Beckett always has constantly received undeserved [...]

Sabathia, Yankees Bullpen Strand 16 Red Sox Base Runners

By ⋅ August 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

All good things must come to an end, including CC Sabathia‘s winless streak against the Red Sox this season and Boston’s explosive offense. Sabathia allowed just two earned runs in six innings Tuesday night at Fenway, and the Red Sox left 16 men on base, losing to the Yankees, 5-2. Boston now leads New York [...]

Red Sox Slam Sabathia in 10-4 Win

By ⋅ August 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If you’ve only watched New York ace CC Sabathia pitch against Boston this season, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. For the fourth time in as many starts against the Red Sox, the hefty lefty was disastrous, surrendering 7 runs in a 10-4 defeat. What started as an early duel turned sour for [...]

7-Run 7th Gives Red Sox Second Sweep at Yankee Stadium

By ⋅ June 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It took three hours and 27 minutes of a rain delay and then seven innings of actual baseball Thursday night for history to repeat itself, but repeat it did. Josh Beckett beat CC Sabathia for the third time this season, and the Red Sox scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to beat [...]

Beckett’s Best Too Much For Yankees; Red Sox Win First Series of 2011

By ⋅ April 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Through their first eight games, the Boston Red Sox starting staff had thrown a league-fewest 16 1-2-3 innings. Sunday night at Fenway Park, Josh Beckett threw nearly half that in just one start. Beckett’s best pitching performance since a June 2009 complete-game shutout of the Atlanta Braves sustained the Red Sox through six innings of [...]

South End Baseball Success Stories: Delcarmen and Beyond

By ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Delcarmen, Stars, and South End Baseball There’s a reason Manny Delcarmen’s name is being floated about a potential return to Boston, and that’s because you can never discount a favorite son returning home. The Hyde Park native and West Roxbury High School graduate was a second-round draft pick by Boston in 2000.  The pick made Delcarmen the first draftee [...]

Beckett Injured as Red Sox Come Back Late to Split with Yankees

By ⋅ May 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Jonathan Papelbon found himself in a familiar situation Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Once again, the go-ahead run stood at the plate and a blown save seemed likely, but Papelbon struck out Randy Winn to seal the deal for his tenth save and a 7-6 victory. Just like the first game of the series, the [...]

Well it’s finally here, Opening Day. Major League Baseball is getting it started the perfect way by having the Yankees and Red Sox square off in the first matchup of the season.

Sabathia Bests Dice-K in Tense Pitcher’s Duel

By ⋅ September 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

If you can call any game where the Sox lose to the Yankees a good one, this was it. Though the Yankees rode a devastating outing from C.C. Sabathia to beat the Red Sox 3-0 to clinch the final regular season series between the arch-rivals, there was an abundance of silver lining in this dark [...]

Beckett No Match for Sabathia, Sox Lose 8-4

By ⋅ August 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Yankees out-homered the Red Sox Sunday night in an 8-4 loss, bumping Boston down to 7.5 games behind the first-place Yanks. In a pitching match-up between CC Sabathia and Josh Beckett, Beckett was just unable to match Sabathia’s strong outing. Beckett gave up a career-high five home runs, including one by Derek Jeter on [...]

Red Sox Nation is Seeing Red

By ⋅ August 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Things seem to be getting worse and worse for the Red Sox lately. After a brutal 15-inning affair, the Sox were left with another string of goose eggs Saturdayin a 5-0 loss to the Yankees. The Yanks scored a run in each of the third, sixth, and seventh innings, before a two-run home run by [...]

Why the Red Sox Have Beaten the Yankees

By ⋅ June 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’d prefer to title this “How the Yankees have had bad timing against Boston.” Yes, it’s well documented that the Yankees have lost all eight meetings so far against the Red Sox. But, I think we need a further examination as to why the Red Sox have won all eight games to see if we [...]

Sox Rally to Move to 8-0 Against Yankees in 2009

By ⋅ June 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In a game many thought the Yankees would finally beat the Red Sox, Yanks ace CC Sabathia was slated to face Sox No. 5 starter Brad Penny. Penny turned in by far his best start of the season, out-pitching Sabathia in his six shutout innings to help the Sox earn the 4-3 win, their eighth [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 7 (5-18 – 5-24)

By ⋅ May 26, 2009 ⋅ One comment

It is my personal opinion that Boston’s David Ortiz used steroids. I also believe that he is no longer taking any performance enhancers as evident by his lack of power this season. So, I speak for all of the Ortiz owners out there when I ask David Ortiz to please, start juicing again! There was a [...]
