Dustin Pedroia Injury Could Be Red Sox Last Straw
On Tuesday, Dustin Pedroia was diagnosed with a torn adductor muscle in his right thumb. Depending on who you ask, the significance of this injury may appear to be very different. If you ask the Red Sox and manager Bobby Valentine, they’ll tell you that Pedroia is too important to the team to risk losing [...]
Dustin Pedroia Injured in Red Sox Win over Tigers
Dustin Pedroia left Monday’s game against the Tigers with a jammed right thumb. He injured the thumb while diving for a groundball by Danny Worth at the end of the fifth inning. He was replaced by Nick Punto. “He’ll probably have some tests,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said after the game. “Right now I [...]
9th Inning Collapse Costs Red Sox Against Rays
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 [...]
Red Sox Bats Overcome Buchholz’s Struggles in Win Over Orioles
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 [...]
Cody Ross Powers Red Sox to 5-3 Win at the Trop
After dropping the series opener on Wednesday night by the score of 2-1, the Boston Red Sox hit two home runs on Thursday night to back Felix Doubront en route to a 5-3 victory. Doubront went 5.2 innings, giving up two runs (one earned) and striking out seven. Matt Moore made the start for the [...]
Pink Bats Explode for Red Sox in Dominant Mother’s Day Blowout
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 [...]
Doubront Shines in 4-1 Victory, Pedroia Keeps Streaking
The Red Sox aren’t accustomed to winning games at Fenway Park this season. In fact, Boston won consecutive games at their home park for the first time all year on Friday night. The 4-1 win over Cleveland was highlighted by a terrific outing by southpaw Felix Doubront, who held the Indians lineup to just three [...]
Buchholz, Red Sox End Losing Skid in Win Over Indians
On Friday night the Red Sox attempted to turn things around, as their most recent struggles have been highlighted by the controversy of Josh Beckett on and off the field. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the mound, who had been a notable part of the question marks surrounding the 12-19 team. And while Buchholz wasn’t [...]
Red Sox Lose in 17 Innings to Orioles
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 [...]
Red Sox Fall to Orioles in 13 Innings
On a night when the Boston Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, the Boston Red Sox were playing a bit of extra baseball in what ended up being their third consecutive loss. The division rival Baltimore Orioles (16-9) were in town, looking to improve upon a strong start to their season. The ninth inning [...]
Athletics’ Norberto Halts Red Sox Comeback in Ninth
Down two with two men on in the bottom of the ninth, Kevin Youkilis grabbed a batting helmet. The oft-injured Youkilis didn’t start Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics due to back stiffness, but no one left on the bench gave the Boston Red Sox a better chance of tying and possibly winning the game. Unfortunately, [...]
Ross Homers Twice in Red Sox Victory Over Twins
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 [...]
Reviewing NESN’s Jenny Dell (So Far)
The 2012 season is about a month old and already two things are very clear: I miss last year’s bullpen and last year’s “sideline” reporter. Sorry folks, but Jenny Dell is not really doing it for me. I know, I know, the women reading this are calling me a superficial pig and the fellas reading this [...]
Bobby Valentine is the Red Sox Manager, So Let Him Manage!
Owner John Henry said this in October of 2011: “Larry Lucchino runs the Red Sox.’’ That was made clear when new general manager Ben Cherington was sent on a hunt for a new manager of the Red Sox soon after Terry Francona was fired. Cherington soon found out that Lucchino was making the decision on [...]
Lester Hit Hard, Rangers Practice Home Run Derby Cruising to 18-3 Victory
Jon Lester has been one of the most consistent pitchers for the Red Sox the past few seasons. The past two years have brought Opening Day honors to the lefty. While the team was off to a slow start, Lester turned in two solid outings, each good enough to deserve the win under normal circumstances. [...]
