ALDS Game 1: J.D. Drew to Play
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 [...]
Mike Lowell Hurt Yet Again
Mike Lowell, back for the first time since Sept. 16, re-aggravated his hip injury in Friday night’s ugly, rain-delayed 19-8 loss to the Yankees. Lowell will probably not play Saturday, and his availability for the ALDS against the Angels is now in question (Game 1 is on Wednesday).
Lowell checked his swing in his first at [...]
The Race to the MLB Playoffs: Week 1
In this new feature, each Friday I’ll be taking a look at the race to win the division as well as the wild card and offer an outlook on the fast-approaching playoffs. Now that August is starting to wind down and Septemeber is looming ahead, the Red Sox still find themselves in second place in [...]
Mike Lowell Placed on 15-Day DL
The Red Sox placed banged-up 3B Mike Lowell on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique injury he suffered in last night’s 19-17 Red Sox win. The Sox recalled RHP David Pauley to fill a temporary need in the starting rotation.
The Globe’s Amalie Benjamin reported that Mike Lowell seems frustrated with his injury. In Mike’s [...]
Sox Can’t Come Back in 9th; Yankees Win 2-1
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, 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 [...]
Lester Dominates Over Yankees
The Red Sox shut out the Yankees 7-0 in the first game of the series. Lester pitched a complete game shutout, giving up only five hits while striking out eight. Mike Lowell and Jacoby Ellsbury each had two RBIs in the game. Lester is the first Red Sox pitcher since Pedro Martinez, in 2002, to [...]
Sox Rally Falls Short Against Rays
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 [...]
Astros Win Slugfest 11-10
The Astros won their first game all-time against the Red Sox, but needed some late-inning heroics to do so. Fast forward to the eighth inning: the Astros had already climbed back from a 4-0 deficit thanks to a five-run third inning off Jon Lester. They were now about to complete a comeback from a 9-6 [...]
Sox “Cash In” Win Over D-Backs
Red Sox catcher Kevin Cash finally gave publishers, editors, and producers in the Boston media a chance to use his name as a pun in their headlines. Count me in that mix, as the Sox “cashed in” in a win over the Diamondbacks 5-0 to take the series thanks to a three-run, eighth-inning HR from Cash. It [...]
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 [...]
Haren Outduels Beckett, Youkilis Suffers Black Eye
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 [...]
View from the Monster 6-16
The Red Sox really seem to be getting into a groove as we get into the midseason summer schedule with another great week, going 4-2. They have extended the lead to 2.5 games over the Rays, with rumors beginning to swirl that Tampa Bay may be interested in adding Ken Griffey, Jr. If in fact the Rays [...]
Lowell Slam Trounces Orioles 9-2
The Red Sox continued their dominant play at home with a convincing 9-2 win to slap an exclamation point on the series and the homestand. Mike Lowell hit a grand slam, and J.D. Drew and Kevin Youkilis each hit two-run shots to help Jon Lester improve to 5-3.
Lester went seven strong innings and allowed two [...]
Varitek, Lowell Carry Sox Over Orioles
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 [...]
