Beckett Horrible in Sox Extra-Inning Loss
The Red Sox offense exploded for four home runs in Game 2, and most of the time it’s good enough for a win. Well, that’s unless you have the 2008 version of Josh Beckett on the hill to start the game, and the 2008 version of Mike Timlin to close it out.
Josh Beckett absolutely laid [...]
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 [...]
Tim McCarver: Manny’s Actions in Boston Were “Despicable”
I know Tim McCarver isn’t the most reliable source. He once said during a FOX broadcast of the 2004 ALCS that Brandon Arroyo AND Pedro Martinez would start in Game 2 of that series. Yes, there are many things wrong with that statement…but moving on, McCarver said Wednesday that Manny Ramirez’s final months in Boston [...]
Red Sox Down Angels Again; Face Familiar Foe in Rays
The Red Sox and Angels met in the postseason for the fourth time and like each previous battle, the Red Sox prevailed. The Angels won the third game of the series to stave off elimination for a day and broke the Sox’ 11-game postseason win streak in this series.
As expected, pitching dominated the series, but [...]
John Lackey Says Angels Are the Better Team
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 [...]
Red Sox Advance to ALCS
In typical playoff fashion, a close game all the way until the end. Jed Lowrie’s single to short right field brought in Jason Bay to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. Bay got on base after a double to right field.
Torii Hunter broke the game open in the top of the 8th [...]
Angels Force Game 4 After Extra-Inning Win
Mike Napoli launched two home runs off an ineffective Josh Beckett, and the Angels outlasted the Red Sox 5-4 in 12 innings. Napoli finished 3-5 with those two HRs, three RBI, and three runs scored, including the game-winning run in the 12th on an Erick Aybar single.
Beckett was hit hard and hit often, lasting only [...]
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 [...]
MLB Division Series Playoff Predictions
It’s time to turn the calendar to October, and that means playoff baseball is upon us. The American League Division Series and National League Division Series are now underway beginning today, and Sports of Boston’s Mike and Geoff have offered their take on each series in the opening round of the MLB playoffs.
ALDS: Red Sox [...]
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 [...]
Beckett Injured, to Face Angels in Game 3
The Red Sox lost their first chance to clinch on Monday, but punched their ticket for the playoffs on Tuesday. After losing the series to the Rays the previous week, the division looked out of reach and the Yankees took the series opener to lock the Sox into a series with the Angels. The Red Sox [...]
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 [...]
Rain Delays Johnny Pesky Ceremony
The Red Sox have announced that the threat of rain Friday and Saturday has delayed the plan to retire Johnny Pesky’s #6 until Sunday.
The Sox initially planned to hold the ceremony an hour before gametime on Saturday at around 3 p.m., which also happens to be Pesky’s 89th birthday. But, because of a coastal storm [...]
Red Sox to Retire Johnny Pesky’s Number
The Red Sox are reportedly planning to retire Johnny Pesky’s No. 6 before the end of the regular season. The team plans on relaxing its long-standing requirements to have a player’s number retired (in the MLB hall of fame, at least 10 years with the team, retire with the team).
According to the Boston Herald’s Steve [...]
