Miller, Red Sox Roll to 6-0 Victory Over Rangers

By ⋅ August 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The last time the Red Sox visited the Ballpark at Arlington things did not go well.  If there were remaining doubts about the Red Sox ability to play at the same level as the Texas Rangers, those have been silenced the last three days. With Andrew Miller on the mound against the surprisingly effective Alexi [...]

Red Sox slugger Adrian Gonzalez belted a pair of home runs, his 19th and 20th shots of the season, in Boston’s 11-5 triumph over Texas at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas. The win was the Red Sox first victory at Texas since August 14, 2010, and improves the squad’s record to 78-50 on the season. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

The trade deadline has come and gone, and some contenders have made some big moves to up their chances of playoff glory. Ubaldo Jimenez and Hunter Pence, not to mention Michael Bourn (the Astros were really sellers, weren’t they?) are all in great positions to make a push. So is Erik Bedard, though he isn’t [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 16

By ⋅ July 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

As the season goes on, it’s tough for any team to gain a competitive edge. The NL Central even has a three-way tie going, with each team only percentage points apart. Sure, teams are starting to wedge a little bit of room between themselves and their competitors, but those leads haven’t been stable this season [...]

Nearly 100 games have been played. The largest division lead is 4.0 games, and half of the six divisions are led by no more than 1.5 games. For a brief moment, the Pirates were actually leading the NL Central, which shows how surprising this season has been. Trade talks have been heating up in advance [...]

Now that the All-Star break is here, it’s time for teams to sit back and reflect on the first half, rest up and take stock of where they are. That’s especially important in the American League, where no division is led by more than 1.0 games. Save for the NL Central, NL leads are a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 12

By ⋅ June 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With the Dodgers bankrupt and the All Star break almost upon us, the season is nearly half over, and there’s still plenty of teams in the hunt. Four divisions are led by at most 1.5 games. Philadelphia lost Roy Oswalt for awhile. The top three teams aside from Philly are all in one division. And [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 10

By ⋅ June 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only one new team has fought into the race in the last week, but a huge amount has still changed, including two new division leaders and a new AL leader (nearly MLB leader). Cleveland’s once mighty lead is now down to percentage points. The Yankees still can’t figure out Boston. St. Louis and Arizona are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 9

By ⋅ June 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After nine weeks, the Indians are finally slipping out of the AL lead; even their once impregnable AL Central lead is slipping fast. Ditto for the Marlins and the NL Wildcard. Yes, a lot has changed in the last week. That includes two new teams in the playoff picture for the NL from last week. [...]

By ⋅ May 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, there’s plenty to discuss. The best record in MLB has switched hands again, and there are two new division leaders. Except for the Indians, no one is leading their division by more than 2.5 games. Six teams have gotten to 30 wins, and three of them are in the NL East, which [...]
