• Starters going deep in games was a big reason for this team's success. They've now had one rull run through the rotation without a starter going 6 innings. That's not good. And while Dustin Nippert has done an admiral job stepping in the rotation for Vicente Padilla...

G131: Rangers beat Jays 5-2 in first game of DH

I love doubleheaders. Always have since I was a kid. And I'm not talking about those fake "split" doubleheaders where they clear the place out between games. I mean real honest to goodness two for the price of one doubleheaders. I try and go to every one I possibly can...

He thought the pitching MVP was Dustin Nippert. Frank Francisco was unavailable because of flu-like symptoms. He doesn't think Nelson Cruz will have to go on the disabled list because of his right finger problem. He had never asked Jarrod Saltalamacchia to bunt before Sunday night...

The Sox enter their three-game weekend series in Texas, back 5.5 of the Yankees; up 1.5 on the Rangers in the wildcard. This is a big set - don't take it likely. The Sox should fare well in the home run haven of Arlington, especially with Mike Lowell and Jason Bay showing some...

G116: Rangers take series with 4-3 win; take over wild card!

Before the Red Sox won their world series a few years ago, I used to love going to Red Sox games. Primarily because the games were usually good. It wasn't a blowout one way or another, the games were well pitched, well played, and I usually enjoyed them. Then the Sox won the World...
