Red Sox 2009 Outfield Review

By Mike ⋅ October 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

When I handed out the Red Sox report card, the Red Sox outfielders earned an A. The three outfielders, Jason Bay, Jacoby Ellsbury, and J. D. Drew, played nearly every day together, meshed very well to form a very good defense, and collectively got on base, hit for power, and generated runs with speed. If there [...]

Getting Swept Up With the ALDS

By Teddy ⋅ October 12, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Something isn’t right. This was supposed to be easy, wasn’t it? I mean, this was the Red Sox; they always beat the Angles in the postseason. Waking up Monday, there was the bad taste of defeat in Red Sox Nation, but worse, the hometown team fell via the sweep.

Uncle Lester is Back: Sox Beat Indians 3-0

By Jon ⋅ October 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The collective brick-s**ting that occurred across New England last Friday after Melky Cabrera welted a line drive straight into Jon Lester’s knee ceased Thursday night as Lester handcuffed the Cleveland Indians to win 3-0. It was a reassuring performance for the Red Sox’s best starter of the second half as Boston looks to the post-season.

By David R. Phelps ⋅ September 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Operating under the assumption their starters could use some more rest heading into the playoffs, the Red Sox have gone to a temporary six-man rotation. We saw a little of how this is going to work out on Tuesday, when the hapless Paul Byrd was sacrificed to Zach Greinke.

Lest the Wildcard Lead Evaporates, Lester Wins Again

By John ⋅ September 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This is why “Sox” is one of my favorite Scrabble plays, and yes it is a legitimate plural of “sock.” The Red Sox threw the White Sox in the spin cycle and hung them up to dry for a 6-1 victory on Sunday. Business picked up in the 4th with a two-run homer to left [...]
