Sox Bats Wake Up Against Royals

By KC ⋅ August 7, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Things are really different without Manny Ramirez. First, the Red Sox are actually winning again…and when they lose it feels like a moral triumph. Despite the piling victories since the trade, Terry Francona has had to juggle the lineup around without Ramirez to find what he likes. Slumps by Jacoby Ellsbury and Coco Crisp have [...]

Howard Carries Phillies Over Red Sox

By KC ⋅ June 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Phillies 1B Ryan Howard has always had a knack for power, and he sure put it on full display against the Red Sox Monday night. Howard blasted two HR’s and one triple off the glove of Jacoby Ellsbury to help power the Phillies for an 8-2 series opening win. Cole Hamels pitched effectively, going seven [...]

The Red Sox really seem to be getting into a groove as we get into the midseason summer schedule with another great week, going 4-2. They have extended the lead to 2.5 games over the Rays, with rumors beginning to swirl that Tampa Bay may be interested in adding Ken Griffey, Jr. If in fact the Rays [...]

Varitek, Lowell Carry Sox Over Orioles

By KC ⋅ June 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Bartolo Colon reached an important milestone on his way to 300…and I don’t mean his weight. Bartolo Colon registered his 150th win (exactly half-way to 300) in a 6-3 triumph over the Orioles. Colon pitched well yet again, allowing one run in six innings with seven strikeouts.
Colon was really helped by the Sox bats, especially [...]

The week for the Red Sox began with a home series against division leading Tampa Bay with the team’s nine-game home win streak on the line. Like the other two times these teams have played in 2008, the home team swept the series (now twice for Boston; once for Tampa). The Red Sox offense was back [...]

J.D. Drew Stays Hot as Sox Take Series Against M’s

By KC ⋅ June 8, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Of course, after the first two games that saw the Red Sox and Mariners pick up blowout wins, there would be a pitcher’s duel in the series finale. Pitching for the Red Sox was rookie Justin Masterson, who was going for his third win against zero losses. Opposing him was lefty Erik Bedard, who has [...]

By KC ⋅ June 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

A day after blasting his historic 500th home run, Manny Ramirez didn’t waste any time in going for the next milestone. He launched his 501st home run, a two-run shot, as the Red Sox took their third straight from the Orioles, 9-4.
Bartolo Colon (3-0) earned the win with a decent outing, going six innings and allowing [...]

Colon Dominant as Sox Beat Mariners

By KC ⋅ May 27, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox have a very rare, but really good problem: they have too many starting pitchers. When faced with the same problem a few years ago, the team traded Bronson Arroyo for Wily Mo Pena and proceeded to have a rough 2006 season, suffering from poor pitching and injuries to the staff. This year, [...]

By Boston Bot ⋅ May 19, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

To give starters their regular rest, the Sox plan to call up Justin Masterson for a Tuesday night start against the Kansas City Royals. He will be sent down, and the next night Bartolo Colon is scheduled to make his Red Sox debut.

This week got off to a very poor start with a two-game sweep in Baltimore, ceding first place to the Rays. Josh Beckett fell to 4-3 with the first game loss, failing this time to stop the losing streak. The Red Sox are similarly now 4-3 in games started by Beckett following a [...]

Red Sox Back in America and Back in Action

By Dan ⋅ March 31, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Tell me if this sounds familiar…
Game 1, Tues: Bos. vs Oak. Dice-K vs Joe Blanton.
Game 2, Weds: Bos. vs Oak. Jon Lester vs Rich Harden.
Deja vu all over again. Thanks Yogi. Even in the WWE rematches don’t come this quickly, but luckily the Red Sox and Athletics get to roll the dice again. Most likely [...]

Sox and Bartolo Colon agree to Minor League Deal

By Dev ⋅ February 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

ESPN.com reports that the Red Sox reached an agreement on a minor league contract with the former 2005 Cy Young Award winner.
This could be a good thing for Boston, now without Curt Schilling, the club could use the insurance.
Bartolo had an awful 2007 for the Angels, putting up a 6-8 record and a 6.34 ERA, [...]

Wakefield Out for ALDS

By Chris ⋅ October 2, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

According to a Yahoo news report, Tim Wakefield is not on the Red Sox playoff roster (at least for this series).
Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Tuesday the goal was to get Wakefield healthy enough for later in the playoffs, should the Red Sox advance. The knuckleballer threw Tuesday, but not well enough to [...]
