If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 13

By ⋅ July 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s almost time for the All Star Game, and plenty of races are still tight. Boston has dropped some ground to the Yankees, and the Indians, Cardinals and Angels are all interjecting themselves back into their divisions in real dogfights. The Wildcard spots are locked up fairly securely considering how other races are going, and [...]

Lackey Severely Lacking in 11-0 Loss to Angels

By ⋅ May 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Less than 13 hours after playing a marathon, rain-soaked, 13-inning affair against the Angels into the wee hours of Thursday morning, the Red Sox were set to go at it at Fenway Park against the Halos for the final time this season…and we’re only in May. Terry Francona had to use eight pitchers in Thursday [...]

Dice-K Dominant Again as Red Sox Shut Out Angels 5-0

By ⋅ April 24, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The last time Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed zero earned runs in two straight outings was back on July 7th and 13th of 2008. Back then, the Red Sox were the defending champions, and Manny Ramirez was still patrolling left field in Boston. George W. Bush was still president. Tom Brady had short hair. Dice-K followed up [...]

Beckett, Bullpen Carry Red Sox Over Angels; Youkilis Injured

By ⋅ April 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Red Sox needed a strong bullpen performance Thursday night against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In 10 innings, the offense had left 13 men on base. Luckily, a strong performance is exactly what they got. The Red Sox relief trio of Daniel Bard, Bobby Jenks and Jonathan Papelbon combined to allow just [...]

Beckett Implodes, Red Sox Fall to Angels

By ⋅ August 20, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Through the first five innings on Thursday night, Josh Beckett was back into form against a pretty good Angels offense. He allowed just two hits and no runs, and appeared on track for the win in a tight ballgame. Something happened between the fifth and sixth innings. Maybe Beckett checked the calendar to see it’s [...]

Red Sox Stay Perfect Against Halos With 7-5 Win

By ⋅ August 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox just kept on rolling Wednesday. They beat the Angels 7-5 to take a 9-0 edge in the season series, with the final game coming Thursday. It didn’t take the Sox long to take command, as Dustin Pedroia walked, stole 2nd, and advanced to 3rd on a throwing error in the 1st, and [...]

Kalish Hits Grand Slam, Red Sox Top Angels 6-0

By ⋅ August 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox entered Tuesday’s contest with the Angels 5.5 games behind both the Yankees and Rays for first place in the AL East and Wild Card. The Yankees and Rays, of course, both won their games. How did the Red Sox do? The Sox countered with another dominant performance from their budding ace Clay [...]

Scutaro Grand Slam Powers Sox in Sweep of Angels

By ⋅ July 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim seem to be a team of bad luck lately. On Monday night in Dan Haren’s debut, the righty was forced to leave the game early after a line drive hit his pitching forearm. The bullpen pitched well but was taxed, and the Red Sox won. Wednesday afternoon, the Red [...]

Lackey Beats Angels in Return to LA

By ⋅ July 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Showered with a steady chorus of boos for much of the game in his return to Los Angeles (or is it Anaheim?), John Lackey had his third straight dominating start since the All-Star Break as the Red Sox rotation now looks like one of the best in all of baseball. Lackey, a workhorse through and [...]

Haren Injured in Angels Debut, Ortiz Homers Twice in Win

By ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

While the Angels pray (get it?) for the young Rangers pitchers to falter so they can gain some ground in the AL West, the team made a serious upgrade to their starting rotation, trading Joe Saunders and three minor league pitchers to the Diamondbacks for Dan Haren. It was a really good move for a [...]

By ⋅ July 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Welcome back for another edition of the SoB Power Rankings for Major League Baseball. This edition is jam packed with thirteen teams getting nods for the ten spots, yet only one dropping from the rankings. And eight teams have either kept their previous spot or moved just one. The Twins’ recent slide out of the [...]

SoB MLB Power Rankings 6-7-10

By ⋅ June 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With another two weeks gone, the Rays are still the undisputed kings of the league, and don’t look to be on the verge of screwing that up anytime soon. Ditto for the undisputed princes of the league, the Yankees. The NL isn’t as clear cut, with everyone going nuts on each other; the East is [...]

Red Sox Sweep Halos, Yankees Series Looms

By ⋅ May 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For the first time since beating the Yankees on Opening Night, the Red Sox are again above .500 (at 15-14), and it took a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to do it. Winning the fourth game of the series on Thursday night was no easy feat, however. The Red Sox were [...]
