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 [...]

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 [...]

Red Sox Reeling after Rays Win 13-4

By KC ⋅ October 15, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We have them right where we want them! Isn’t the 2008 ALCS looking a lot like the 2004 and 2007 ALCS? While the Red Sox have little chance at moving onto the World Series, there always is just that little chance. They have looked really bad in two games at Fenway Park, punctuated by a 13-4 embarassing loss [...]

J.D. Drew Blasts One; Sox Lead ALDS 2-0

By Geoff ⋅ October 4, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

It was a close game tonight, even after the Sox started the game off with a 4-1 lead. The Angles just kept chipping away at the Red Sox lead until it was tied at five in the ninth inning. J.D. Drew changed all of that with a huge swing of the bat in the top [...]

By KC ⋅ October 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

After a workout Tuesday, J.D. Drew declared himself 100% ready to play in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels Wednesday night. Drew has been suffering from a bulging disc in his back, and played only two games in all of September.
Mike Lowell, meanwhile, is still 50-50 to start at third base for the Red [...]

Sox send minor leaguer to Atlanta in deal
UPDATE: The Red Sox trade Single-A OF Luis Sumoza to the Atlanta Braves for OF Mark Kotsay.
Late Tuesday night, the Red Sox reportedly showed interest in Braves CF Mark Kotsay to help fill a void in the outfield for the Red Sox, who recently lost J.D. Drew to [...]

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 [...]

J.D. Drew Wins All-Star Game MVP

By Dev ⋅ July 16, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Coming in the 6th inning, J.D. Drew proved most valuable to his team working the bases and playing well in RF as well. Drew became the fourth Red Sox player to ever win the All-Star Game MVP award, joining Pedro Martinez (1999), Roger Clemens (1986), and Carl Yastrzemski (1970).
It was also nice that he hit [...]

View: (AL Roster | NL Roster)
Hey, maybe Alex Rodriguez isn’t the most hated man in Major League Baseball. A-Rod officially won the popular vote for the All-Star Game for the second-straight season, and will start for the American League.
Joining him will be seven members of the Red Sox: OF Manny Ramirez (elected), DH David Ortiz [...]

Sox Can’t Come Back in 9th; Yankees Win 2-1

By Geoff ⋅ July 5, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Today’s game was a classic pitchers’ duel that saw Red Sox pitcher Justin Masterson at the wrong end. Despite giving up only two runs, Masterson pitched another good game, but Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina pitched a better one. Masterson pitched six innings giving up two runs on six hits with two strikeouts and two walks. [...]

Sox Rally Falls Short Against Rays

By KC ⋅ July 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

In the first game since the teams brawled in Fenway, the Red Sox and Rays squared off. In the previous nine meetings, the home team won each game, with the Red Sox taking six games at home and the Rays taking three at home back in April. Monday’s game followed suit with Tampa Bay winning 5-4 [...]

Dice-K Bounces Back in Win Over Astros

By KC ⋅ June 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-1) rebounded from the worst start of his major league career Friday night, pitching five shutout innings to lead the Red Sox to a 6-1 win over the Astros. Dice-K allowed just two hits and three walks in those five innings, to go along with four strikeouts. He actually looked half-decent at the [...]

Sox Shock D-Backs Late To Win

By KC ⋅ June 25, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Before his eighth inning at bat Tuesday night, Jason Varitek was 1-for-his-last-30 at the plate. It’s hard to believe considering I don’t recall naming him Diamond Dud, but he tends to escape much criticism due to his team leadership and his excellent management of the pitching staff. In addition to his normal contributions, Varitek added [...]

Haren Outduels Beckett, Youkilis Suffers Black Eye

By KC ⋅ June 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Josh Beckett was a tough luck loser yet again as the Sox provided him no run support in a 2-1 loss. Beckett struck out eight in eight innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Beckett was in dominant form, but he was up against Arizona’s No. 2 starter, Dan Haren, who [...]
