I’m not sure how Josh Beckett might feel about it, but Terry Francona has said on a number of occassions he’ll be playing Wily Mo Pena in centerfield more since Willie Harris and Dustin Mohr don’t seem to be getting the job done at the plate.

Since Wily Mo doesn’t have any Minor League options, I […]

I’ve heard it on every media outlet today. Pitch count. As we all know Curt Schilling threw 133 pitches in a no-decision against Cleveland. People are criticizing both Schilling and Francona for letting him stay in the game. Not me. I’m their side with on this one. I’m sure that those 33 extra pitches […]

All indications are that Manny Rameriz has finally showed up. And, if the last 10 games are of any importance — .400 and 10 RBIs — I think we can expect a little bit of Manny being Manny.

After walking David Ortiz in the 8th inning, G. Mota of the Cleveland Indians had to pitch to […]

Unfortunately due to an extreme increase in comment spam, BoSoxBlotter has been forced to require that all commentors be registered users of this website. We still intend for this blog to be open and hold many dialogues concerning the state of the Boston Red Sox and Major League Baseball.

Pretty much anyone can register, even Yankee […]

As always, you never want to move on to the next city coming off from a loss. Hopefully the Sox can turn around their misfortune that started this lengthy road trip by using their latest win over Toronto as a catalyst to get back in gear.

The Red Sox are first in the AL East, but […]

There’s a non-profit organization called Good Sports. You might remember the $16k someone dished out to have lunch with Theo Epstein in the name of charity??? That was them, I believe. At any rate, it seems the always smiling David Ortiz has offered himself and his services to this organization in the form of a […]

I didn’t hear the song Wild Thing start blasting in the bottom of the 9th inning when Papelbon came in to close the game out, but I’m also glad we didn’t see any of the wildness in his pitching either.

Ok, so by now everyone should know that Papelbon has thrown over 10 scoreless innings straight. […]

Last night wasn’t as heartbreaking as it was frustrating. Josh Beckett picked 7 quality innings, and a bizarre start to the 8th inning let the Blue Jays essentially steal enough momentum to flip over the Sox in extra innings.

Today’s game was a bleeder. Dinardo was banged around more than a pee-wee hockey player. As difficult […]

Have things changed that much from the past few years? I’m not talking about the roster, or the low run numbers. It’s not the defense either. We’ve seen two games against the Devil Rays and no one, let me say this again, no one has been hit by a pitch yet. We all know the […]

Not a lot to boast about, just perhaps a couple of really exciting victories for the Red Sox. Yesterday’s Patriot Day come from behind win over the Seattle Mariners was more than just a great cap to a good series from the Sox, it was one of the best games of the year as a […]
