Red Sox 2008 Infield Review

By Mike ⋅ November 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

In my report card, I gave the Red Sox infield a B+, citing the key contributions of some as a big positive, but the injuries as a weight around the infield’s neck. The unit was carried by Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Mike Lowell before his late season injury. David Ortiz, hampered by the wrist injury [...]

Dustin Pedroia told WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford that he will be the recipient of the American League Gold Glove Award at second base. The award winners will be formally announced at around 4 p.m. Thursday, but Pedroia was kind enough to share the news early.

Sox Lose Dream as Rays Win Game 7

By KC ⋅ October 20, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox had used all their energy to get to Game 7 of the ALCS. With no Mike Lowell or even Manny Ramirez (though Jason Bay has been a nice substitute), the Red Sox clawed their way to a deciding game after being down in the series 3-1. For the first time since 2003, [...]

Red Sox Stage Historic Comeback, Force Game 6

By KC ⋅ October 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Scott Kazmir, who was pushed up to Game 5 for a variety of reasons, pitched a gem through six innings, but Boston’s patient bats forced him out of the game as he reached 111 pitches. When Kazmir left the game, the Red Sox were down 5-0 through six, and by the time they came to [...]

Dice-K Nearly Unhittable in Game 1 Win

By KC ⋅ October 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka had many doubters coming into Game 1 of the ALCS. Many questioned his ability to go deep into the game due to his erratic control and usual high pitch counts. He answered those questions in a big way Friday night, taking a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in a 2-0 Red Sox [...]

John Lackey Says Angels Are the Better Team

By KC ⋅ October 7, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s understandable that John Lackey was disappointed after losing to the Red Sox again in the ALDS. It’s also understandable that Lackey is angry…but this angry and unreasonable? Are the Angels really better than the Red Sox? How could that be possible after losing the Division Series 3-1? Well…Lackey said it:
“We lost to a team [...]

Red Sox Advance to ALCS

By Chris and Geoff ⋅ October 6, 2008 ⋅ One comment

In typical playoff fashion, a close game all the way until the end. Jed Lowrie’s single to short right field brought in Jason Bay to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. Bay got on base after a double to right field.
Torii Hunter broke the game open in the top of the 8th [...]

Red Sox Look for September Surge

By Geoff ⋅ September 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

September is finally upon us and the division race has never been closer.

The Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles were both targets of the Red Sox advance [...]

Dustin Pedroia “Rips” Jerry Remy

By KC ⋅ September 3, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Dustin Pedroia is known to talk the talk among his teammates and coaches…but his color commentator? Pedroia even goes as far as to take a shot at former Red Sox second baseman and current NESN commentator Jerry Remy. Did Jerry Remy really stink?

Pedroia Slams Yankees to the Brink

By KC ⋅ August 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

You can just tell the Yankees are done now.
The Red Sox faced a similar situation in 2006, when the Yankees rolled into Fenway and won five straight to effectively knock the Sox out of the playoffs. Now, in 2008, the Red Sox have the chance to do the same thing after obliterating the Yankees in the [...]
