Arroyo Awesome As Always

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

Bronson Arroyo threw one heck of a game as he picked up his 4th win on the season. He had a no-hitter through 6 and 1/3 before surrendering the Tigers only run of the game to a home run by Carlos Guillen. Arroyo threw 8 innings of ball, recorded 8 strike outs, 1 walk, and […]

Sox Win on The Back Of Wakefield

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

Ok, so the Sox may not owe the win exclusively to Wakefield, but he pitched well and the team got another “W”. Kevin Youkilis is tearing it up for the most part, atleast when he’s in the Majors. He went 2-3 and drove in the winning run, also grabbing a walk as he’s been known […]

Johnson over Beltran, Yankees Mistake?

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

I was just reading this article over at ESPN about whether the Evil Empire of the Yankees is collapsing. Bob Klapisch brings up some good points about the Emperor himself, Steinbrenner being addicted, in a sense, to getting Randy Johnson. So much so that when Carlos Beltran offered his services at a $10 million discount […]

Miller To Start Sunday

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

According to RedSox.com it seems Wade Miller will be making his Major League season debut this Sunday with the Red Sox. He had his final rehab start with the Paw Sox and, although it was far from magnificent, he did go 5 2/3 innings and threw over 80 pitches — which is more than […]

All Hail Halama! Foulke Remains Foul

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

Ok, Mirebelli came up BIG with his grand slam, ultimately putting the game away in the fifth inning, but Halama delivered big time for a reliever. he went 5 strong innings and recorded the win, the much needed win for the Red Sox.

Mantei and Timlin were excellent out of the pen to preserve the win […]

Sox Drop Opener In Cold Detroit — More Worries…

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

Jeremi Gonzalez pitched better than expected, some would say. Unfortunately, his pitching wasn’t what really determined the outcome of this game. The Sox offense managed to only score 3 runs off from the Tigers. When Gonzalez left it was a tied game, 3-3. Once Gonzalez left the game, things went wrong in a hurry.

For beginners, […]

Johnny Damon may retire at the end of this year, even though he is only 31 years of age. Damon’s current contract with the Red Sox ends at the end of this year and he is eligible to become a free agent. However, he discussed recently that he may just retire and enjoy his summers.

Clement Battles For 3rd Win - Foulke remains shaky

Sunday, May 1st, 2005

It was far from spectacular, but it will certainly do. Anytime the end result is a “W”, it works for me. Amazingly he got the win after walking 3, hitting one batter and throwing a wild pitch in just the first two innings alone. The Sox’s bats were enough to squeeze out a 6-5 victory […]

Vive Arroyo! Vive Arroyo!

Sunday, May 1st, 2005

Nothing settles my stomach a bit more than when someone steps up big for the team when they need them to. Surprisingly, this is one time in many that Bronson Arroyo has for the Sox. I’ll admit that I think Bronson is one of the most underrated pitchers in the American League. Next to Santana, […]
