Mike Aviles’s Bloop Single in 9th Propels Red Sox Past Rangers

By ⋅ July 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Texas Rangers tied the game in the sixth inning at one run a piece, the game certainly had the feel of another loss for the Boston ball club in what has been a difficult 2012 season. However, if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the team this year, it’s that they always manage [...]

Lester and Bullpen Peter Out in Eighth; Twins Avoid Sweep

By ⋅ August 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t one bad inning that did in Jon Lester Wednesday night in Minnesota: it was three mediocre innings, and a Red Sox bullpen that didn’t help. The Twins scored in three separate innings off Lester, and Alfredo Aceves struggled in eighth-inning relief to give the Twins a 5-2 victory.

Meet Boof Bonser

By ⋅ June 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Boston Red Sox traded for Boof Bonser over the winter, it flew under the radar a little bit. For good reason. A casual baseball fan may know his name, you don’t forget a name like Boof. Sad to say, most of Mr. Bonser’s notoriety comes from merely that, his name. This will be [...]

By ⋅ August 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Would fantasy baseball be any fun if baseball was cleaned up? God knows how many players are currently hopped up on HGH or anything else that modern tests can’t detect. The most valuable player in fantasy would hit 25 HR at the most. What IF Albert Pujols is a cheater? He’d lose his fantasy baseball status [...]

TGIF: 2009 Closer Rankings

By ⋅ February 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Oh the noble closer. The anchor to any bullpen, this man puts the weight on his shoulders in the ninth inning and makes it his duty to secure a victory for his team. Depending on what format your league is, the closer could be a valuable commodity on draft day or just a filler in [...]

Sox Comeback Fails in 9-8 Defeat

By ⋅ May 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim Wakefield really gave the Red Sox no chance to win against the Twins Sunday night, lasting only 2 2/3 innings while allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits, two walks, and two HRs. The Sox bats would not go quietly into the night however, busting out 15 hits and eight runs before falling [...]
