In signal number 1,965 that Red Sox nation turned the corner from being glass half-empty types to glass half-full types, the Sox have lost 5 of 6 on the current road trip and the starting pitcher with the most wins on the best ERA on the team needs an MRI to check out his shoulder…BUT [...]
Francona talked to Clay Buchholz about his next rehab start, which is scheduled for Friday at Durham, N.C., but did not go further than that in terms of his progression back to Boston. Francona was adamant over the weekend, though, that Buchholz is not headed for the bullpen, and the organization understands that the health [...]
Ok guys. You just completed a fantastic homestand at the Fens. Jon Lester throws a no-hitter thats the feel good story in all of baseball so far this year. Justin Masterson had another great start. Start looking for an apartment in downtown Boston, Justin. Bartolo Colon returned the major leagues and got a W. Dice-K [...]
There are so many ways of thinking about Jon Lester’s no hitter against the Royals last night. Most obvious is the angle of the cancer comeback. And if Lester’s World Series game 4 didn’t do it, his no-no must certainly label that comeback officially complete. Let this be the last time that the phrase “Jon [...]

But it also means Sox are going to give Craig Hansen a serious shot. Most obvious thing to do with Sean Casey coming [...]
The season is 40 games in. One quarter of the season is now behind us, giving us a large enough sample size to think about how to tweek the roster in order to solidify the Sox as the 2008 team to beat. Certainly, there’s nothing I’ve seen in the first 40 games that says “hit [...]
Since Gammons started us thinking on this…here’s some quick thoughts regarding possiblity of Sox trading for Omar Vizquel and having him share the SS duties with Jed Lowrie
On the surface, I like the idea. But it makes for a crowded roster of infielders with Lowrie, Vizquel, and Alex Cora all pretty much in the same [...]
I was tracking the 9th inning of the Red Sox - Tigers game tonight via refreshes to mobile ESPN on my Treo. A game that Papelbon couldn’t close out after a nice comeback from a 4 run deficit. But saw that there was a Lugo error in the midst of that 9th inning. So is [...]
