Red Sox Freefall Continues: Yankees Pummel Boston 9-1.

By ⋅ September 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The nightmarish September of the Red Sox only got worse on Saturday as they were demolished by the New York Yankees 9-1. The Yankees took control of the game early, knocking around Boston starter Jon Lester for 8 runs in 2 2/3 innings, and handed the Red Sox their 13th loss in their last 16 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 24

By ⋅ September 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re almost a week away from October, and that means it’s almost time for the playoffs to finally begin. Just the Phillies and Tigers have locked up spots so far (by way of a division title), but the largest elimination number remaining for a division is seven, and the Yankees shouldn’t have too much trouble [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 23

By ⋅ September 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With less than 20 games and two-and-a-half weeks left in the season, it’s getting down to the wire if teams want to make a move. Tampa and St. Louis are doing their parts, but there’s still a ways to go. The Phillies and Yankees are still holding sway, while the White Sox and Indians are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 22

By ⋅ September 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re now officially into the last month of the season. The only division still definitely in question is the AL East, with the AL West also having a decent amount of competition left. Things are starting to become more about gaining postseason momentum than clawing for a spot, though don’t tell that to some of [...]

Sox Bounce Back With Three Homers in 9-5 Win Over New York

By ⋅ September 1, 2011 ⋅ One comment

After dropping the series opener in frustrating fashion, the Red Sox came back from an early deficit to defeat the Yankees, 9-5.  Sox starter Josh Beckett went 7 innings while striking out 8 to improve his record to 12-5 on the season. Beckett is now 15-8 against the Yankees in his career. All Red Sox [...]

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 21

With about 30 games left, we’re really getting down to the wire. The Red Sox / Yankees rivalry continues to be the main focus of the divisional races, with Texas also looking to hold off a run by the Angels. Philadelphia is sputtering a little, but still has a very comfortable lead. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 20

By ⋅ August 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

20 weeks into the season and there’s still plenty of drama. Boston and Arizona are faltering, Milwaukee is cruising and the White Sox are back in the race for the AL Central. While the Yankees and Giants are on their way up, St. Louis can still be pretty much counted out. Houston can officially be [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 19

By ⋅ August 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only a month and a half remain in the season, and the races are starting to thin out. The Phillies are pretty well-entrenched in their lead, and the other divisions usually have been whittled down to two contending teams, though the AL Central is a tad more crowded than that. Boston and the Yankees are [...]

Long Red Sox-Yankees Games Not Beckett’s Fault

By ⋅ August 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In recent years, Red Sox-Yankees games have morphed from simple baseball contests into battles so epic in size and length you could probably get through half of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and still catch the ninth inning. Baseball is inherently slow, and these extra-long games make it even more monotonous. Few have seriously [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 18

By ⋅ August 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With less than two months to go, some teams still have their space between themselves and rivals, while some teams have gotten close again. The Yankees lost their brief hold on the division, while the Angels and D-Backs are closing the gap quickly. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are continuing to fade from their early season success. [...]

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 [...]

Yankees Edge Red Sox 3-2, Take AL East Lead

By ⋅ August 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Heading into this season, as the Red Sox reigned supreme in free agency and seemingly had the rest of the A.L. East in a headlock, the one thing the Yankees still had was a better bullpen. And not-so-ironically, it served it’s purpose tonight. Reliever Boone Logan struck out Adrian Gonzalez with the bases loaded to [...]

Red Sox-Yankees: A Dying Rivalry

By ⋅ August 5, 2011 ⋅ One comment

While the Red Sox played the Indians to start the week, fans and media alike were really looking ahead to the three-game series with the Yankees beginning Friday. In typical fashion, the Sox find themselves in a close race for the AL East, with their hated rivals. The rivalry should be more heated than ever, [...]

Post-Deadline Contenders: Where Do the Red Sox Stand?

By ⋅ August 2, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Every baseball season, the days leading up to the July 31st trading deadline offer teams the chance to evaluate their place in the league and decide whether or not to invest more or less into the active season. The Red Sox are no amateurs when it comes to making deadline deals, whether it be the [...]
