White Sox 6, Red Sox 4
Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Chicago White Sox handed Jon Lester his first loss of the season with a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
Alejandro De Aza and Alexei Ramirez added consecutive RBI doubles in the second as Chicago took advantage of an ineffective Lester (6-1) to earn its fifth win in seven games in the opener of an eight...
Andrew Miller Says He Is Fine After Getting Hit in Forehead With Foul Ball in Dugout (Video)
Not even a foul ball to the head could affect Andrew Miller on Friday night.
The Red Sox reliever was getting some gum in the top of the ninth inning when Jarrod Saltalamacchia fouled a line drive into Boston’s dugout. The ball ricocheted off the wall and hit Miller in the head, but the lefty said he was fine.
Miller went back out in the bottom of the ninth and retired two batters...
Taking his lumps
[Warning: this article takes a lighter look at something that could have caused serious injury. Please don't try any of this at home.]
He was looking like the Andrew Miller we want to see when he pitched the 8th inning, retiring the side on just 15 pitches.
Back in the dugout he was not paying attention to the game on the field for a moment, when he hears a whistling sound...

Red Sox v Rangers Recap
After a sizzling month of April when the Boston Red Sox came within a game of the franchise’s best first month of the season, the Sox picked up a couple of games in Toronto.
Then it was onto Texas.
The ballpark at Arlington was not as friendly to the BoSox as had been the parks they played in during the month of April. This weekend, Boston lost all three contests to the AL West...
A second generation of idiots
They have pine tar on their helmets again, and there’s not a clean uniform in the bunch. Half of the Red Sox seem to have forgotten that their jerseys have a top button and wear their pants about three sizes too large. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Clay Buchholz have some crazy heads of hair. And the beards. The glorious beards. Even early in the season, it’s hard not to look at...
Game changing no call
In last night's 9-7 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, replacement umpire Clint Fagan quite possibly gave two runs to the Blue Jays. With the bases juiced in the third inning, Jarrod Saltalamacchia attempted to pick off Jose Bautista with a snap throw to first base. Salty had a good chance to get him at first but his elbow caught Fagan's mask and the ball ended up in right...
Salty’s foolish error is not knowing Rule 5.09
The Red Sox lost 9-7 to Toronto yesterday, April 30. One of the key plays of the games was an error by Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Salty threw the ball down the right field line, trying to pick off Jose Bautista with the bases loaded. Two runs scored on the error.
Maybe the Red Sox need to add a MLB Rule Book class for all players, a crash course to learn all the rules...
Jarrod Saltalamacchia Regrets Not Following Up After Error Saying, ‘I didn’t Really Know Ruling On It’ (Video)
Jarrod Saltalamacchia may be beating himself up over this one for a little while.
The Red Sox had their five-game win streak snapped on Tuesday night in Toronto, and two of the Blue Jays’ nine runs were scored on an error made by Saltalamacchia in the 3rd inning. The Sox went on to lose 9-7.
The error occurred in the bottom of the 3rd with the bases loaded and nobody out. Saltalamacchia...

3 Stars of the game, game 12
On a day that will never be remembered for how the Red Sox performed, but instead for the tragedy that occurred at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, the Boston Red Sox completed the sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. I apologize for not having this out yesterday but given the circumstances of me living so close to Boston, where the marathon route runs right by my campus I chose to...
Joel Hanrahan Not Discouraged by Fenway Struggles, Dismisses Blown Save As Part of ‘Life as a Reliever’
The Red Sox seemed destined to take a second game from the Orioles on Wednesday.
The lead was never greater than two, but the game seemed firmly in Boston’s control after Daniel Nava and Jarrod Saltalamacchia sent a pair of Jake Arrieta pitches into the seats in consecutive at-bats in the sixth inning. Two innings of hitless relief later, the Sox were three outs from giving the...
3 Stars of the game: Game 8
Well its time to start rewriting this article, I was halfway through a different 3 stars before Hanrahan decided to mess this game up. In a game that will be remembered more for the fact that it ended Fenway Parks sellout streak instead of the score it would have been nice to have it end on a happier note, but alas trouble for Hanrahan didn't allow this. These are the 3 stars...
Saltalamacchia leads Red Sox over Twins
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Boston starter Felix Doubront limited Minnesota to two hits in four innings and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run homer in the fourth in the second of the Red Sox's two split-squad games Friday, a 5-0 night victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Cuba SS Erisbel Arruebarruena’s jersey is being stretched to its physical limits
Either Arruebarruena needs a bigger jersey, or the team should have used smaller lettering.
I love everything about Cuba—from their fine cigars, to their beautiful beachfront resorts, right on down to their continued embrace of communism. Apparently Cuba is also a country stocked full of people with ridiculously long last names, as evidenced by Cuban SS Erisbel Arruebarruena,...
Cuban SS Erisbel Arruebarruena Has The Best Jersey Ever
Twitter.com/EricStangel
Until Juan Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or Yadier Antidisestablishmentarianism are signed by an international team, Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarruena and his 13-letter surname, which wraps around the back of his jersey like a horseshoe, will rule the international baseball world.
Arruebarruena and his countrymen took on Brazil Sunday morning in...

Beachy, those curls. No. You are a grown man, and your name is not Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Sean Gilmartin looks a little goofier than usual here. He really is handsome, y'all.
I like Huddy without facial hair...
