Thanks to Josh Reddick, the past four-and-a-half-hours of listening to Kermit Valentine and the other yahoos on ESPN was not in vain. The bullpen and …

After last night’s unlikely win (Lackey versus CC?) the Sox are now 9-2 against the Yankees in 2011. Not only will a win tonight put …

It seems the trick to surviving John Lackey starts is to just stop believin’. Because prior to yesterday’s game, I thought there was a better …

You knew when this one was over. The minute Adrian Gonzalez struck out with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth, you knew …

The magic of A-Rod never ends. The guy is on the DL recovering from whatever ails him, but he just can’t keep himself out of …

Could Major League Baseball have scripted this weekend any better? It just so happens that on the day the Yankees come to town to face …

In his Red Sox debut, Erik-with-a-K went five innings, gave up seven hits and three earned while striking out five. The Sox bats are still …

Hello, Erik. Red here. Since your move to Boston was announced, you’ve no doubt heard that playing here can be a grueling experience. That even …

Last year, he was our comic relief. The team softie. We [and, specifically, I] questioned his heart, his fire, his moxie. Today, he’s rapidly becoming …

Lots of things to be excited about today. For one thing, it’s a gorgeous, sun-soaked day in Boston and I conveniently came down with a …

Dustin Pedroia wasted no time extending his hitting streak by going back-to-back with Ellsbury in the bottom of the first. Twenty-four games and counting. David …
