Red Sox Bats Overcome Buchholz’s Struggles in Win Over Orioles

By ⋅ May 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Aaron Cook Injured, Battered by Orioles in Red Sox Loss

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Aaron Cook was hoping for a better first start in Boston. A much anticipated debut for the Red Sox on Saturday was shattered early, as a second inning collision with Chris Davis left a large gash in his leg.

It was something David Ortiz had experienced over 300 times before the season even began. It was something Josh Reddick had experienced once. Yet Wednesday night at Fenway, the Red Sox superstar and the Red Sox call-up experienced the same thing: the joy of the home run. Ortiz and Reddick each homered to right, and [...]

With the AL East lead nearly a three-way tie among the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays, the Sox need to pick up every win they can, especially against teams like the struggling Orioles. Despite 10 players on the DL, the Red Sox keep finding ways to win. Good luck charm Daniel Nava was at it [...]

The season is half over and you have some decisions to make. If you are low on the totem pole and need to make a run at the playoffs, then clearly the team you have now needs some adjusting.

Brad Penny dug the Red Sox in a very deep hole after allowing seven runs in the second inning, including a grandslam to deep center field by Nick Markakis.

The First Week of Baseball

By ⋅ April 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

While nothing happened in the first week of baseball that was quite at the level of excitement of Boston University’s win of the NCAA hockey championship, there was some exciting action, but also a reminder of how short life can be. Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart made just his fourth major league start and later that night was killed [...]

By ⋅ September 2, 2007 ⋅ One comment

How does a rookie get starting job on the Red Sox? You become the first rookie pitcher in Red Sox history to throw a no hitter. “There’s no going back to Triple-A,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. Buchholz wasn’t even suppose to start today. Wakefield twinged his back Friday so Tavarez had to move [...]

Trio of O’s Make Owners Happy

By ⋅ August 12, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Although the Baltimore Orioles are 8 games under .500 and are not a fantasy force as a team, the offense does boast a trio of players that should be universally owned in all leagues. These 3 men had a solid three game series against the Red Sox and if they were in your lineup over [...]
