9/1: Lester takes the hill

The Boston Red Sox hadn’t had much luck against the Tampa Bay Rays or at Tropicana Field this season. With a quality start from Jon Lester last night, they were able to put it behind them for one night. Tonight, they look to do it all over again. Tonight’s game will start at 7:08 PM and [...]

Tampa Bay commits three errors and makes several other misplays and Andy Sonnanstine struggles in his return to the majors as the Rays fall to Jon Lester and drop six behind Boston in the AL wild-card race. Tampa Bay scores...

Ended up watching most of the Friday night game at a bar with about 30 other people that were in town for the weekend for Saturday’s game; that was a good one. I was extremely confident that they would get Saturday’s game in; what was shocking to me is that they actually started on time.  Cold night for an August game, but excellent results.

Josh Beckett continues to allow home runs as the Tampa Bay Rays get shots from Carl Crawford and Pat Burrell, the 13th for each. The solo shots helped the Rays to a 3-1 lead in the second. This is Beckett’s fifth straight game allowing multiple home runs.

Red Sox On to the diamond, where a Josh Beckett outing can be like a box of chocolates. Going [...]Wild Card Tightens is a post from: Boston Sports Media Watch

The Globe's dynamic duo discuss Josh Beckett and his recent struggles (you'll have to scroll down to the next clip, more as time passes; they don't embed video clips as separate URL's). I would think that these two would share notes beforehand, as Shank stumbled on a couple of fact-type things and was quickly corrected by Bob. I'm aware that Ryan's been on TV more often (ESPN's Sports...
