Dice-K Nearly Unhittable in Game 1 Win
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 [...]
J.D. Drew Blasts One; Sox Lead ALDS 2-0
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 [...]
Jason Bay Powers Red Sox in Game 1 Win
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 Clinch Wildcard
The Red Sox went on to capture the wildcard spot tonight against the Cleveland Indians, 5-4. Wakefield needed help from the entire bullpen after pitching six innings, allowing four runs. Manny Delcarmen, Hideki Okajima, Javier Lopez, Justin Masterson, and Jonathan Papelbon combined for three innings of shutout relief. Papelbon brought the high-heat in the 9th [...]

Carlos Pena Blasts Red Sox Further Back
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim popped the champagne bottles Wednesday night to celebrate their fourth AL West title in five seasons after defeating the Yankees 4-2. The Red Sox, meanwhile, fell further back in their quest for a second straight AL East title, losing to the Rays 4-2 in 14 innings. Boston is now 2.5 games [...]
Red Sox Start Fast, Run Out of Gas This Week
The Red Sox returned home this week and brought their uneven play with them. They had an offensive explosion against the weak pitching staff of the Rangers, but a rainout washed away the Blue Jays opener and took the Red Sox bats with it. They will head out on the road this week against an Oriole team [...]
View from the Monster: All-Star Special Edition Part II
Yesterday, we featured the changes to the team from last year’s championship club. Today, we will look at how the team has performed in each aspect of the game and name the first half MVP.

Not Another Pink Hat 7-16
Yesterday, the New York Daily News printed an article with the back page headline “Papelbum” because Red Sox closer, Papelbon, said that he should close the All-Star game instead of Yankees player, Mariano Rivera. The tabloid quoted him saying, “If I was managing the team, I would close. I’m not managing the team, so it [...]
All-Star Update: Yankees Fans Attack Papelbon
BREAKING NEWS: With one stroke of the bat, Red Sox RF J.D. Drew knocked in a 2-run shot off Cincinatti Reds SP Edinson Volquez to tie the All-Star Game at 2-2 in the 7th inning. We’ll keep you posted.

Red Sox to Send Seven to the All-Star Game
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, Lowell Survive the Rain
The Red Sox continued to their winning ways against the Yankees and took game two of this four-game weekend series in the Bronx, winning 6-4. Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis provided the offense today with a home run and a strange triple. Josh Beckett also pitched a decent game for his eighth win of the [...]
Dice-K Bounces Back in Win Over Astros
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
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 [...]
