Red Sox Sweeping by the Rockies

By Dan ⋅ October 28, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka got his second win of the playoffs last night as Boston continued to roll right by the Colorado Rockies. The Red Sox have not lost in a World Series in the new regimes era. Are the Red Sox the best team in baseball? I’ve said they are before, maybe this will be it. [...]

Schilling and Red Sox Roll-Up Rockies, Onto Coors

By Dan ⋅ October 26, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Schilling, Okajima and Papelbon are all the Red Sox needed tonight. That and two runs scored by the offense. When the offense had easily carried the team when Beckett wasn’t pitching, its refreshing to see the pitching hold down the game. The last game Schilling started he got 10 runs of support. Easily enough to [...]

The Red Sox Rock the Rockies: Boston the Best Team in Baseball?

By Dan ⋅ October 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Before this series reaches Game 2 or any further I’d like to take a stand and pick a side. I love the Boston Red Sox. Although I remain non-biased on how good they actually are. But if I had to put together at this point an argument why the Boston Red Sox are the best [...]

Red Sox Blow Away Rockies, 13-1, in Game 1 of World Series

By KC Downey ⋅ October 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox won their fourth-straight postseason game in Game 1 of the World Series, handing the Rockies just their second loss in the last 23 games. Josh Beckett struck out the first four batters he faced en route to the victory. He’s now 4-0 this postseason with a 1.20 ERA and in the process, [...]

Game 5: Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians

By Dan ⋅ October 18, 2007 ⋅ One comment

C.C. Sabathia(19-7, 3.21) vs Josh Beckett(20-7, 3.27) In Game. All Game. Top 1st Youkilis with a bomb to left! 1-0 the Sox. Manny with a blopper type line drive double! Yes. Finally the Sox are hitting. Now Lowell who has struggled… Lowell with a single to right in the first and… Manny gets thrown out [...]

Game 3: Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians In-Game Report

By Dan ⋅ October 15, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka(15-12, 4.40) vs Jake Westbrook(6-9, 4.32) UPDATES ALL GAME. I’ll be updating every couple minutes or so. Its going to be an interesting game to see which pitcher steps up for their team. Dice-K looks shart in the 1st inning, striking out two. He started hot in the Angels game too and blew up [...]

Boston Red Sox Win Game 1: Boston Dominates 10-3

By Dan ⋅ October 12, 2007 ⋅ One comment

C.C. Sabathia was awful tonight. Beckett was great. Boston’s offense was awesome. And after Game 1 Boston has all the momentum and Cleveland needs to start something. Another News Alert: David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are still hot. Both had two hits along with Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis, Ortiz, and Ramirez in total scored 7 runs. [...]

ALCS Preview: Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians

By Dan ⋅ October 10, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

Like the last three years, this ALCS is Yankee-light. Cause the Yankees sucked. But I digress, the Cleveland Indians are a better ballclub than the Yankees this year and they are built for the playoffs. Cleveland has two very strong pitching Aces and a couple quality veteran starters. They have clutch hitters, speed to put [...]

The Anti-New York Yankees Thread

By Dan ⋅ October 9, 2007 ⋅ 8 comments

After losing to Cleveland in four games, the New York Yankees have lost in the playoffs for seven years straight. And there are going to be consequences. Now my dislike for the Yankees doesn’t just come from losing to them for almost my entire lifetime. It stems from the lopsided salary system baseball has. I’m [...]

Red Sox Sweep Angels and Move Onto ALCS

By Dan ⋅ October 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The L.A. Angels of Anaheim might have had the best pitching staff coming into the playoffs. The might have had one of the most dynamic offenses. I guess the Red Sox hadn’t heard. Because the Red Sox swept the Angels in three games and barely gave them a fighting chance. Curt Schilling worked seven dominant [...]

Game 2: Boston vs. LA Angels

By Dan ⋅ October 5, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Match-up: Daisuke Matsuzaka(15-12, 4.40) vs Kelvim Escobar(18-6, 3.40). It’s time for Dice-K to prove he’s worth all that money. The Red Sox got him after his MVP performance in the World Baseball Classic where he went 3-0 1.88 ERA. If it weren’t for Dice-K’s dominating performances in pressure-packed situations, Boston may not have made the [...]

News Update: Beckett’s the Man, The Sox Win Game 1

By Dan ⋅ October 4, 2007 ⋅ One comment

Beckett kicks ass. Screw Hanley and his perennial All-Star status. Complete game shutouts are where its at. Pitching wins games, hitting helps. Beckett now has 3 shutouts in only six total post season starts. He has averaged 1 shutout every 83 games in the regular season. In the post-season he throws a shutout 50% of [...]
