PAUL BYRD RUMORS & GOSSIP

KC 5, BOS 1: Byrd Gets His Wings Clipped In First

Seven sterling innings could not undo the wrongs of the first inning, as the Red Sox lose the second game of a four game series to the Kansas City Royals, 5-1. Red Sox starter Paul Byrd gave up five earned runs in the first inning, a deficit from which the Red Sox could not recover. To his credit, Byrd composed himself and ended up maintaining those five earned runs over 6.2 strong...

If Paul Byrd Can Beat the Angels, Then Nothing Will Ever Stop Us

They're one of the best hitting and run scoring teams in the American League. He's a guy who's just getting back into this whole "baseball for a living" thing. And to make it interesting (or, as the French might say, "easier for the Angels"), both Youkbacca and V-Mart are out of the line-up again. Meaning that after Ortiz in the five hole, we drop...

Starring Paul Byrd as Icarus and the Chicago White Sox as The Sun

Last week, Paul Byrd gave us more power than we could have possibly imagined when he inexplicably out dueled Doc Halladay. Last night, he fell back to Earth, looking more like a guy who's spent most of the year pitching to Little Leaguers or working the counter at Denny's. In just two and one-third innings, the Byrd gave up 10 hits and seven runs--not exactly the kind of...

Red Asks, Byrd Answers

Yeah, that's Paul Byrd, not Carl Spackler. Although watching him pitch last night, I think Carl would have been an upgrade. Ten hits and seven earned in just two-and-a-third screams "his first outing was a fluke" to me. On a night where Doc was shutting out the Yanks, a win would have been nice. But the 20-hit (including three hits, one a homer, from Mark Kotsay, he...

Byrds, Laundry Lists, and the Sox' Week Ahead

Paul Byrd now holds the title of latest savior of the Red Sox rotation - or latest in the revolving door of fifth starter candidates, depending on whether your coffee mug is half full or half empty today. Proud holder of a fourteen-year career touring eight cities since 1995, the 38 year-old author... yes, author... certainly knows how to throw a baseball. But for a pitcher...

Clay Slays Jays; Now Birds Meet Byrd

On a night after Beckett struggled with the long-ball, it was nice to see Clay Buchholz shut down the Jays and help us secure our second straight win, especially seeing as how the Yanks and Rangers won as well. In mowing down Toronto on three hits and 9 Ks through 8 and 1/3 innings, Clay seemed to morph from a wide-eyed, under-aged kid who can't believe his fake ID got him past...

Red Sox Designate Smoltz For Assignment

Today must be baseball's "Get rid of your useless aging superstar day' as the Red Sox DFA'd John Smoltz after a horrid outing against the Yankees yesterday. -Pel

Paul Byrd reunited with Red Sox

According to MLB.com's beat writer, Ian M. Browne, the Red Sox have agreed to a minor league contract with Paul Byrd. This is welcome news, as the Red Sox could use more depth in the minors. I would guess he would only need 2-3 weeks of work in the minors before being ready to contribute. In an interview with Fire Brand on February 12, Byrd said that he wanted to take the...

Paul Byrd Makes First Start for Red Sox - 2 Things You Must Know

Tonight Paul Byrd will trot out and take the mound for his first start for the Boston Red Sox (we are all hoping that it's HGH free). And while Fenway and Red Sox Nation will root on the pitcher whose team they rallied against in the 2007 NLCS - a very special someone will also be cheering Byrd on: brother John C Reilly (star of movies such as Talladega Nights and Step Brothers)...

Paul Byrd Scandal: A Bulleted List

No sooner do I post about the Indians not being cursed, but a story breaks involving Paul Byrd and HGH purchases up until 2005. I wonder if maybe I should just not bother watching the Indians game tonight.
