In a season that’s seen the young studs in the Sox rotation look shaky while the old workhorse Tim Wakefield has stepped up to fill the ace role more often than not, spotting uber-veteran hurler John Smoltz riding in on the Sox horizon is cause for some major celebration.

The rumors of Jon Lester’s demise are greatly exaggerated.
Stepping up once again to play the role of stopper, a very 2008-style Lester delivered in a big way against the Blue Jays in Toronto- striking out a career-high 12 batters in six innings. His previous high mark was 10...

After sitting through 9 innings of fairly depressing Red Sox baseball on Saturday afternoon, I tuned into what became a 25 inning game of college baseball between my alma mater, the University of Texas Longhorns, and Boston College — the longest baseball game in NCAA history...

Another day, another 5th inning implosion.

As I’ve mentioned before, I make it a rule not to blog about guys on other teams- this being a Red Sox blog and all. But I must make an exception in this case, because today is surely the greatest day in the history of mankind: IT IS MATT WIETERS DAY.

Random bits of Sox-related news and tidbits, all jumbled together.
Yesterday’s flurry of ejections apparently had ramifications off the field as well: Tito Francona’s blood pressure spiked, and he had to be examined by EMTs. Finally- something that can’t be blamed...

Let's play a little game of catchup, shall we - and get caught up on all the Sox video goodness from the last few games.

So we're all happily enjoying the ninth inning last night, freshly back from a (quite lengthy) rain delay. Jonathan Papelbon struck out A-Rod to end the top of the 8th, the Sox were retired in order 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 8th. Papelbon struck the first two batters he faced...

Josh Beckett won't let something like "guts-twisting flu" keep him from passing on his wisdom to the impressionable youth of America. In this case, the kids of the Children's Hospital Pediatric Oncology Department were the beneficiary of his giggles (seriously, he giggled- t...

No Josh Beckett.
No Jason Varitek.
No Mike Lowell.
No Alex Cora.
No Manny Delcarmen.
No Curt Schilling. (remember him?)
No problem.
Half of the team is barfing up their guts with flu, or hobbling around on the DL, or is Javier Lopez, and the Sox were still able to come up trumps last...

Awww, look- how sweet! Jonathan Papelbon and a cute little Red Sox baby in Japan! Even though he's holding the baby like a sack of potatoes (or like the kid just pooped his pants), it's still awful precious. I'm not one to coo over babies, but even I can't help but...
