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.

Red Sox Continue Winning Ways in Pitchers’ Duel

By ⋅ April 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was very refreshing to see Boston get off to such a great road trip, and that hasn’t let up. Thanks to a 1-0 victory against the White Sox, that streak now stands at six. However, Chicago could have done better. The most important play of the game came in the first inning, with Chicago [...]

Red Sox Bats Come to Life, Bury Twins 11-2

By ⋅ April 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox needed a game like this; good pitching, lots of hitting, and a clear victory. They almost didn’t get it – Josh Beckett needed 37 pitches to get through the first inning, but rebounded to toss 6 innings and limit the Twins to two runs in what would become a blowout. The Sox [...]

Ross Homers Twice in Red Sox Victory Over Twins

By ⋅ April 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Cody Ross must be quite the social animal. Through his first four home runs this season, at least one teammate had always been on base, waiting at the plate to celebrate with him. But sometimes, even Ross has to go it alone. Ross homered twice – one two-run, one solo – tying and then giving [...]
