Wakefield, Gonzalez Lead Red Sox Over Cubs

By ⋅ May 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

While he may be the oldest pitcher in Red Sox history, Tim Wakefield isn’t even half as old as the time span between games for the Chicago Cubs at Fenway Park (93 years). Wake took the mound Sunday night for the rubber match of the three game series, which saw the Red Sox pound out [...]

Frustrated Francona Ejected, Red Sox Drop Third Straight

By ⋅ May 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The streaky Red Sox dropped their third straight Friday night. Tim Wakefield struggled in the spot start and the Twins never looked back. Manager Terry Francona is the lucky one in all of this: he missed most of the game after being tossed in the top of the second for arguing a balk call. Adrian [...]

By ⋅ May 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Well it’s official, the Red Sox having a winning record (in the month of May). After a sub-par first month of the season, the Red Sox have gotten off on the right foot to start May. On Sunday afternoon, Carl Crawford hit the walk-off single to score Jed Lowrie from third base to give Boston [...]

More Abysmal Pitching Crushes Red Sox

By ⋅ April 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

That’s eight starts, and the only really good pitching performance wasn’t backed up with offense. This time, Clay Buchholz couldn’t even get out of the 4th inning, and the Yankees crushed their arch rivals 9-4. Once again, they were outclassed, this time by a much better Yankees team, starting pitching aside. Despite Derek Jeter getting [...]

By ⋅ April 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In the fifth installment of a classic adventure series, we once again rejoin “our hero” in yet another perilous situation.

And [...]

Lackey Lacking as Red Sox Implode Again

By ⋅ April 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Someone forgot to tell the Red Sox that they’re supposed to contend for the World Series. Instead it looked like the Lowell Spinners were sent to face the Texas Rangers; yet again, Boston lost, 12-5. Again, they had the lead, but the starting pitching just didn’t feel like winning. In just 3.2 innings, John Lackey [...]

Wakefield & Matsuzaka: Trade Bait or Fifth Starters?

By ⋅ March 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Red Sox spring training has not been very exciting in the traditional sense – few positional battles. Aside from Marco Scutaro and Jed Lowrie competing to be the everyday shortstop, which was uphill for Lowrie in any regard, and the search for a lefty reliever, the 25-man roster was essentially set at the beginning of [...]
