Since Brad Penny's best this season seems to be six innings, three earned. Then that is what I expect from him. I just hope that he doesn't fare worse. It is a critical game, in terms of the Wild Card, so let's get a W!

He struggled mightily, allowing four runs in throwing 121 pitches. He was fortunate the score wasn't worse...

What should be done with our struggling DH? A guy that could have ended each and every game, seemingly, had he been given the opportunity just a few years back.
Now, he can't hit himself out of a paper bag. And I mean a bag that is already ripped in half, tearing down the middle.
He still has a pretty good approach--taking pitches, working the count. But more of...

ARLINGTON, Texas - In 2006, Alex Gonzalez played the kind of shortstop for the Red Sox that makes people remember. He made seven errors in 475 chances, the best fielding percentage (.985) in the American League, and he did not need to sacrifice flash for consistency.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Dustin Pedroia hit a home run in his first at-bat of the 2009 season. It took 190 more at-bats for Pedroia to hit his second homer. He waited another 125 ABs for his third. That wasn’t much of a concern for the Sox, as his game isn’t exactly predicated on power, but his lack of long balls ...

ARLINGTON, Texas - Covered in dirt, Clay Buchholz walked back into the dugout, his awkward, facefirst belly flop into home plate having yielded nothing more than an out. The slow-footed Jason Varitek had just beaten out an infield single and advanced to second, and Red Sox manager Terry Francona pulled him for the whip-quick Buchholz.

It has been a black hole for the Boston Red Sox for nearly half a decade now. Since the dogpile in St. Louis that wonderful October night five years ago the Red Sox have rolled through shortstops in pretty aggressive fashion. It started with Edgar Renteria and he was followed by Alex Gonzalez, then Julio Lugo, then Jed Lowrie and now Nick Green. One thing they have all had in common...

I hope Kevin Youkilis was watching his teammates tonight playing the Texas Rangers because he could learn a lot from Ian Kinsler.
Earlier in the week, Youkilis showed what you do not want to do when you get hit with a pitch. Rick Porcello had hit Youkilis in the back with a pitch. Whether the pitch was intentional or not, the way Youkilis handled himself was incredibly dumb.
After...
