The Red Sox sent Aaron Cook to the mound in place of Josh Beckett who was traded to the Dodgers earlier in the day. Cook was coming off 3 days rest and hoping to have a better outing than his last performance.
Cook looked shaky in the 1st inning allowing the first 3 batters to reach and 3 runs to score. Cook was able to get out of that with no more damage and give the offense a chance. In the bottom of the 2nd, Gomez hit his 1st major league HR to get the Sox on the board. Salty and Lavarnway then hit singles and were brought home by Mike Aviles hitting his 13th HR of the season. Sox 4-3. Gomez kept the hitting going in the 3rd when he hit a 2 run RBI to score Pedey and Ells. Salty hit a sac fly to score the 3rd run of the inning. Sox 7-3. The Sox added two more runs in the 4th with RBI singles from Ross and Gomez. Sox 9-3.
This game seemed clearly in hand and Cook was keeping them in the game. Cook pitched 6 strong inning and left the mound in line for a win. Andrew ...

I just said that it would be a dream scenario for the Dodgers to take Josh Beckett alongside Adrian Gonzalez in any sort of trade.
Well, Sean McAdam just confirmed that the dream could become a reality. Beckett has also been claimed by the Dodgers off of the waiver wire.
Disgruntled Sox fans can already be heard celebrating but before we continue this fiesta, let's remember...

BOSTON -- For seven years, Josh Beckett was a polarizing figure in Boston. Over that period, the right-handed pitcher was the poster boy for the peaks and valleys the Red Sox experienced. When the team was at the pinnacle of the baseball world in 2007, Beckett was heralded for his feats and showered with praise for posting a 4-0 record and 1.20 ERA in four playoff starts. When the...

The fact that the Dodgers claimed Adrian Gonzalez off of trade waivers is not that big of a deal. The Sox were likely just seeing what teams might be interested before pulling him back. The fact that the Dodgers also claimed Josh Beckett is big news. This has to signal a package deal with Gonzo and Beckett heading to LA. It is very unlikely that the Dodgers would take Beckett...

Yes, it’s been a while since our last post here. Real world things come up with jobs and family, etc. Working for a minor league baseball team means some long hours during home stands and the need to spend more time with family when the team is on the road. That being said, we’ll be back in full force this offseason, and periodically until then.

The Red Sox are responsible for only $11M of that $287M (roughly 3.8% of the total) commitment. In return...
