Lost in the carnage that was Saturday's 15-9 implosion against the Yankees was a fine performance for the Red Sox by No. 4 starter Felix Doubront. Doubront wasn't a favorite for the rotation going into spring training, but he wooed the Red Sox management enough to get himself a spot. Now, three cycles through the starters into the season, he may have had one of the best performances for the rotation all year. Doubront went six innings for the Sox, throwing 99 pitches and scattering four hits and seven strikeouts. He allowed just one earned run, on a home run...

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
The last Red Sox [team stats] manager to receive the kind of booing that was rained upon Bobby Valentine yesterday was Don Zimmer.
And that was more than 30 years ago.
But here’s the thing: While there...

BOSTON –– Through 11 seasons, Marlon Byrd has never reached the postseason. Acquired in a trade for Michael Bowden and a player to be named later on Saturday, the former Cubs outfielder is eagerly awaiting the chance to contribute to the Red Sox and end streak of October days at home.

Sox Bullpen Not the Only Boston Meltdown on Saturday

The Red Sox bullpen had an ugly Saturday afternoon by giving up 13 earned runs in 3 innings. That is a meltdown of epic proportions, but it appears the 8th inning sing-along at Fenway perturbed Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe.
If they play Sweet Caroline between innings, somebody should get fired. I’m sorta serious.

The Red Sox will skip Bard's scheduled start in the rotation after Sunday's game against the New York Yankees was rained out.

Yankees-Red Sox game postponed by rain
The Boston Red Sox are moving Daniel Bard to the bullpen - temporarily, at least.
With rain washing out Bard's scheduled start against the New York Yankees on Sunday night, manager Bobby Valentine said Bard will skip his turn in the rotation and be available in relief. But when the Red Sox need a fifth starter, it will be Bard.
''As the plan is now, he's our fifth...

The Yankees sure know how to ruin a party, huh? The Red Sox' longtime rivals came into Fenway Park this weekend and put a hurting on the Boston pitching staff, taking the first two games of the series before rain washed away any chances of a sweep on Sunday night. It's clear that Sox fans aren't happy with what they've seen on the field, but for some reason, that...

As much as I'd like to lay the blame for the 4-10 Boston Red Sox start on Bobby Valentine, it's not is mess. He's had exactly 14 games to reverse the dysfunction of the September collapse, hardly enough for a litmus test. Look at the mess he's inherited:Josh Bard and the bullpen dilemma: It wasn't Valentine that moved Bard to the starting rotation. That's...

Last night, Squawker Lisa and I went to the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of the baseball documentary "Knuckleball!" The movie celebrates the tiny fraternity of MLB knuckleballers, with the main focus on the only two knuckleballers active in 2011 - the Mets' R.A.
