Casey KotchmanBrian MacPherson spells out the situation with the Red Sox and Casey Kotchman (something I've also been thinking about): But Casey Kotchman has just 49 plate appearances in the five weeks since the Red Sox acquired him from the Atlanta Braves. He's a perfect defensive infielder late in the season for a playoff-bound team, particularly because he's not going to gripe about his role. But to keep him on the roster as a part-time player next season will be a waste of resources.Read the whole thing to see what options Brian thinks exist.

It was 9-1 at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were leading, and the rain really started to pour down. The game had already been delayed two hours before it even began.

Frankly, I wish the owner would share his thought on the US dollar, lumber, natural gas, and other commodities instead of the Red Sox.Brad Penny and John Smoltz sure look better in AAA...oh, the National League.Buchholz, as of now, still has the best 'swing and miss' stuff on the team.Yes, I noticed that Alex Gonzalez has yet to walk for the Sox...

The Red Sox won their sixth consecutive home game last evening behind the four-hit pitching of ace Josh Beckett and the clutch hitting of shortstop Alex Gonzalez.

Daisuke Matsuzaka is expected to start for the Red Sox on Tuesday against the Angels, returning after three months on the disabled list and a shaky start that all but sidetracked his 2009 season.

It’s been three months since Daisuke Matsuzaka took the mound for the Red Sox. He was exiled to the minor leagues, where he went on an exercise regimen that shaved off pounds, perhaps improved his stuff, and has prepared him for a return to the major leagues.
