By krazzouk ⋅ July 3, 2009 ⋅ One comment

It is no secret that David Ortiz, Big Papi, struggled at the beginning of the season. But, was that reason enough to kick him to the curb? Do you put down your beloved dog when it breaks its leg, or do you spend the extra money to have old Lassie around for a few more [...]

By Tom ⋅ July 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Ever since steroids first rose to the surface of Major League Baseball, everyone has found some way to use them as an excuse for some problem in baseball, especially those who don’t know the first thing about the game.

In news that is spreading like wildfire, the 2003 list of the 103 MLB baseball players who tested positive for steroids has been potentially leaked to the public. Rotoinfo.com posted the story this morning and it has been the talk of the town all day.

Beckett Throws Gem Against Braves Again

By KC ⋅ June 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Josh Beckett has regained his dominant 2007 form, and he can thank the Atlanta Braves. While he has been very strong lately, Beckett came off a rocky performance against the Phillies (6 IP, 6 ER) on June 14. In his next start at Fenway Park against the Braves, Beckett tossed his first complete game shutout [...]

Ortiz Homers in 6-4 Win Over Nationals

By KC ⋅ June 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Nick Green has been doing a lot to help the Red Sox win lately. He produced a game-winning HR Sunday afternoon, a nifty double play Tuesday night, and Wednesday he nearly was impaled by a broken bat in a strange play that was called a single by Elijah Dukes. He play didn’t hurt the Sox too [...]

Why the Red Sox Have Beaten the Yankees

By Adam ⋅ June 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’d prefer to title this “How the Yankees have had bad timing against Boston.” Yes, it’s well documented that the Yankees have lost all eight meetings so far against the Red Sox. But, I think we need a further examination as to why the Red Sox have won all eight games to see if we [...]

Green’s Walk-Off Home Run Lifts Sox Over Braves

By Pete ⋅ June 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In the conclusion to their three game series against Atlanta, the Red Sox decided to go out with a bang. Going into the bottom of the 9th tied 5-5, Boston SS Nick Green came up to bat. Green was already 0-2 on the day and he knew he had to get something started. Instead, he [...]

Beckett Tosses Shutout Against Braves

By KC ⋅ June 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox welcomed back old friend Derek Lowe, who left after helping the Red Sox win their first world series since 1918 back in 2004. Lowe moved onto the Dodgers and then the Braves, and has never pitched against the Red Sox in his career. He pitched pretty well Saturday night, allowing three runs on [...]

Penny Wins 100th in Fenway’s 500th Straight Sellout

By KC ⋅ June 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Brad Penny won his 100th game as a major leaguer, tossing five innings and allowing just one unearned run in Boston’s 6-1 victory over the Marlins. He gave up three hits and four walks, and lowered his ERA to under 5.00 (now 4.94) for the first time since his first Red Sox start (when he had a 4.50 ERA).
Penny’s milestone came the [...]

Ortiz Homers, Sox Beat Marlins

By KC ⋅ June 17, 2009 ⋅ One comment

No one is bold enough to declare that David Ortiz has officially broken out of his season-long slump, but the slugger has strung together a pretty good streak in June. He continued his success Tuesday night, clubbing a solo shot to right and a two-run single as part of a 2-3 day with three RBI in the 8-3 Sox [...]

By KC ⋅ June 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In a game many thought the Yankees would finally beat the Red Sox, Yanks ace CC Sabathia was slated to face Sox No. 5 starter Brad Penny. Penny turned in by far his best start of the season, out-pitching Sabathia in his six shutout innings to help the Sox earn the 4-3 win, their eighth [...]

Ortiz Homers, Beckett Dominates Yankees

By KC ⋅ June 10, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

David Ortiz, mired in an awful season-long slump entered Tuesday night’s game against the Yankees on a modest six-game hitting streak. He extended his streak to seven games, but more importantly he hit his third HR of the season to the deepest part of the ballpark (straightaway center field). His blast gave the Sox all [...]

Ortiz Homers Again and Tries Stealing

By Mike ⋅ June 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Amid rumors that David Ortiz is older than he claims, is he trying to turn back the clock and record his first 40-40 season? Maybe not. He hit his second home run of the season, a 300-footer off the Pesky pole (the shortest Major League home run possible) and attempted his second stolen base of [...]
