Red Sox 2008 Outfield Review

By Mike ⋅ November 19, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

When I handed the Red Sox their 2008 report card, I judged the outfield to be a B+. This group could have been an A+ unit if not for a number of issues. First and foremost, the Manny Ramirez saga, though short in peak duration, was the story of the season and wore on the [...]

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 [...]

Jason Bay Powers Red Sox in Game 1 Win

By KC ⋅ October 2, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

The Red Sox were down 1-0 and Angels ace John Lackey was on the hill. Lackey hasn’t had tremendous success against the Red Sox, especially in the playoffs, but this season and game seemed different. With two outs in the sixth inning, everything changed on one swing of the bat.
Jason Bay provided the heroics for [...]

Red Sox Lose Ground on Rays with Uneven Week

By Mike ⋅ August 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox opened the week with a tough loss to an inferior Royals team before taking the series. They traveled to Chicago for a gritty series with the White Sox and earned a tough split.
However, the Rays continued to play well and have already set a single-season franchise win record with almost two months remaining [...]

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 [...]

By KC ⋅ July 10, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Sox Can’t Score, Can’t Win in Tampa

By KC ⋅ July 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox dropped to 0-5 in Tampa Bay this season after a putrid offensive effort led to a 3-1 loss. Rays starter Matt Garza stymied the Sox over seven inning, allowing just one unearned run on five hits to go with three strikeouts. Garza is making Tampa management look like geniouses for the trade [...]

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 [...]

Lowell Delivers in Extras for Red Sox

By KC ⋅ May 31, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox bats really took a long time to wake up, but with the help of some timely hitting and three Baltimore Orioles, the Sox “busted out” with five runs in a 5-2 victory in 13 innings. Manny Ramirez reached in the 13th on an error and made his way to 2nd base. Mike [...]

By KC ⋅ May 22, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Lester Throws No-hitter Against Royals!

By Chris ⋅ May 19, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Jon Lester can now add pitching a no-hitter to his already amazing list of accomplishments. The 24-year-old lefty, who survived cancer to pitch the clincher of Boston’s 2007 World Series victory, shut down Kansas City 7-0 Monday night for the first no-hitter in the majors this season.
Francona was asked during the press conference, “What pitches [...]

Big Papi Powers Sox Sweep

By KC ⋅ May 19, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Usually when Josh Beckett pitches poorly, the Red Sox are doomed. The ace should not be allowing six runs in seven innings of work. But, with this Red Sox offense, any mediocre effort could help towards a victory. The Sox got HR’s from David Ortiz (2), Dustin Pedroia, and Kevin Youkilis in 11-7 win over [...]
