Destination Red Sox Nation – 7/21

Here’s a few facts that just might be a tad concerning to the fans of Red Sox Nation, at the moment.  I know it’s only the end of July, and there’s still time to right the ship and correct a few things.  Especially with the July 31st trade deadline for MLB approaching quickly.  Which might [...]

Looks like it's time for Clay Buchholz 2, Electric Boogaloo. The Red Sox put Tim Wakefield (back) on the disabled list Tuesday, which sets up Buccholz to rejoin the big club and start Wednesday in Texas. This is no time for us to do a long rehash what you already know about Buchholz. He's toyed with the International League all year and only Boston's ridiculous rotation...

Tim Wakefield goes on the disabled list, making room for Clay Buchholz to make another start. Wakefield hurt his back throwing Saturday. That can happen to a 42-year-old, even if he only throws knuckleballs. I wonder if this makes it less likely that the Red Sox will trade Brad Penny? They may actually be stuck [...]

Just as it appeared John Smoltz was on his way to his best outing as a member of the Red Sox, entering the sixth inning having thrown just 75 pitches and holding the Rangers to one run, everything evaporated. And quickly.

The three runs they scored in Monday's 6-3 setback...

Texas rookie Tommy Hunter pitched six solid innings to beat Josh Beckett and Boston 4-2 on Tuesday night, knocking the Red Sox out of first place in the AL East.

TORONTO - With the last two players acquired by the Red Sox to lead off shuttled out of the organization - Coco Crisp was traded in the offseason; Julio Lugo was designated for assignment Friday - the team still is trying to find a suitable replacement. Jacoby Ellsbury didn’t get on base enough. Dustin Pedroia didn’t hit enough. Now, neither ...

Rumors of a trade in which the Red Sox would acquire mentally unhinged outfielder Eric Byrnes, he of the mighty .215 batting average and clearly degenerating skill, would admittedly not usually be cause for celebration.This morning, however, was the exception. For said rumor had the Red Sox sending Julio Lugo to the Diamondbacks in exchange for the wayward wildman.  In an upset...

Various media outlets, including ESPN, are reporting that the Boston Red Sox have made a second trade on Wednesday. Reports are that the Sox have traded infielder Julio Lugo to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Chris Duncan.
