The Sox have now lost 3 in a row and making it so that the drive for 500 ball is once again upon them. This will be a quick recap since I was at the extra long game last night and heading out the door to hopefully see the Red Sox right the ship today.
Jon Lester wasn't great...wasn't bad. He pitched 6 innings and allowed 3 runs. When he left the mound, the Sox has a 4-3 lead. However, Padilla came in and ended up giving up the tying run. Rich Hill came out to finish the 7th and got the out we needed. Matt Albers, who has pitched pretty nicely this season, came out and pitched two scoreless innings of relief. If we had won, Albers was followed by who would be the hero of the game. Alfredo Aceves took the mound and pitched his guts out. He pitched 2.2 innings of scoreless relief. In the first 2 innings, Aceves K'ed 6 batters. He looked spectacular...magically even. Unfortunately, Aceves was followed by Franklin Morales who gave the O's the lead for good. ...

Oft-injured Aaron Cook will be at Fenway by Saturday. Alfredo Aceves is the team’s closer and Marlon Byrd is the starting centerfielder. This is Plan B for the Red Sox. When 2011 ended, many people believed that the Red Sox had a very talented team that had a terrible run of misfortune causing them to miss the playoffs. Certainly, they couldn’t start as poorly as they did in...

If only David Ortiz could run

There is no doubt that David Ortiz is the best designated hitter in the game. The guy can flat out rake. He is batting .371 with an on-base percentage of .426 and a slugging percentage of .670. Unlike a couple of years ago, there seems no safe place or way to pitch him. He is quick inside again. He works the count to his favor. He is just a great hitter. But there is only one other...

Aaron Cook placed on 15-day DL
Aaron Cook‘s stint with the Red Sox is off to a very shaky start. The right-hander lasted just 2.2 innings on in his debut on Saturday, giving up eight hits and six earned runs in a 8-2 loss to Baltimore.
Cook’s early exit was also aided by the fact that he was spiked by an incoming cleat when covering home during a play at the plate, opening up a huge laceration that you can...

Before there was Ted Williams or Jim Rice, there was Duffy Lewis. Lewis patrolled left field in a Red Sox uniform for eight seasons, forming one of the best outfields in baseball history with Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper. Lewis was known mostly for his defense and his ability to play the left-field wall with expertise, although he did drive in 109 runs in 1912. Speaker and Hooper...

1975. Red Sox-Reds. Game 6. A Boston hitter steps to the plate and drills a home run to save Boston. But wait -- it wasn't Carlton Fisk.
