Cody Ross rarely isn't smiling. In the Red Sox clubhouse before games, the outfielder is vocal and seemingly always donning an ear-to-ear grin. In the dugout during games, he's also full of cheer just about every time the camera's on him. On Wednesday night, though, Ross was anything but cheerful, as the outfielder was punched out on strikes late in Boston's loss...

Analysts and pundits will talk about everything he's done wrong. But, for all the vitriol that can be sent Valentine's way, he remains untouchable in one area.

But more than that, he offered some advice on how to fix the ongoing problems at Fenway Park:
"I would go and try and get another three David Ortiz's."

The Red Sox couldn't make it back-to-back walkoffs as New York topped Boston 5-4.
It did get interesting in the 9th, however. Down two, Jarrod Saltalamacchia launched a solo homer off Rafael Soriano. Soriano composed himself for two straight outs, but then made an error to allow Mike Aviles to reach base, bringing up Jacoby Ellsbury for a potential spot as hero on consecutive...

Boston added to New York's troubles on Wednesday night when they turned a double play in the top of the eighth inning. Derek Jeter hustled down the first-base line to beat the throw (which would have made the run that crossed home plate on the play count), but he couldn't...

Color me shocked that Boston Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine wasn't fired yesterday. It was the perfect time to do it.
There's no way he's going to be back next season so with the Red Sox off yesterday before the New York Yankees come to town, it was a good time to do it. But nope, it DID NOT happen.
It makes you wonder what kind of dirt that Valentine has on the...
