Aceves Does It Again, Red Sox Lose Against Orioles

By ⋅ September 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just when it looked like Boston was going to pull off the win, and just when they were doing so well in multiple extra frames, Alfredo Aceves threw away another game to the opposition, allowing Baltimore to win 9-6. Nate McLouth started the game off with a walk, followed by a steal and some good [...]

Tigers Maul Red Sox Pitching, Avoid Sweep

By ⋅ May 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

With two inherited runners on and two outs in the top of the eighth, Matt Albers struck out left fielder Don Kelly looking to end the threat. That was basically the only good thing the Boston Red Sox did on the mound all night. The Detroit Tigers clubbed 14 hits off Josh Beckett and two [...]

The Red Sox defeated Justin Verlander and the Tigers Tuesday night by a score of 6-3. The victory was due to a decent outing from Daniel Bard, as well as a key three-RBI double by Daniel Nava in the bottom of the fourth inning. In a game that had all the potential for a great [...]

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 [...]

Red Sox Lose in 17 Innings to Orioles

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox attempted to avoid being swept by the Baltimore Orioles as they sent Clay Buchholz on the mound on Sunday. Unfortunately the game turned into a ridiculous 17-inning affair ending in a brutally painful 9-6 Sox loss.

Athletics’ Norberto Halts Red Sox Comeback in Ninth

By ⋅ May 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Down two with two men on in the bottom of the ninth, Kevin Youkilis grabbed a batting helmet. The oft-injured Youkilis didn’t start Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics due to back stiffness, but no one left on the bench gave the Boston Red Sox a better chance of tying and possibly winning the game. Unfortunately, [...]

By ⋅ April 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was seven days, seven wins this past week for the Pawtucket Red Sox. The perfect week was good enough to push the Sox past the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and into first place in the IL North.

By ⋅ March 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A big storyline heading into this new season is how the Red Sox bullpen will perform given significant personal changes. Gone is four-time All-Star closer Jonathan Papelbon to free agency. A big change awaits former dominate set up man Daniel Bard as he is stretched out to start this year to help a limited rotation. [...]

White Sox Complete Sweep in 7-4 Win

By ⋅ June 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

On a hot and humid afternoon at Fenway, the wrong Sox had all the fun. Boston squandered an early lead and Tim Wakefield and the bullpen could not hold on in the 7-4 loss to Chicago. Chicago’s Gavin Floyd wasn’t stellar, but his 4 ER in 6 IP was good enough to pick up his [...]

Varitek Beats Indians with his Arm AND his Bat

By ⋅ May 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Jason Varitek had gone 116 at-bats without a home run before Tuesday night’s game in Cleveland, a stretch that spanned nearly an entire calendar year. He was due. Varitek’s two-run home run in the seventh proved the difference-maker, and the Boston Red Sox got another sterling performance from Josh Beckett, beating the Indians, 4-2. Combined [...]

Buchholz, Bullpen Shut Out Twins Despite Long Rain Delay

By ⋅ May 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The rain pelted Fenway Park for over two hours Saturday afternoon, suspending play after two innings. It looked like another strong start by a Red Sox pitcher would be washed away, and Terry Francona would have to cobble seven innings from an already overworked bullpen. Problem is, nobody told Clay Buchholz. Buchholz threw five scoreless [...]
