BoSox Blotter

Last night Beckett got battered, as seems to be the case this year with him and the Toronto Blue Jays. For a team that was looking as if it was loaded with pitchers in the beginning of Spring Training, dire needs have arisen.

Matt Clement has been useless. He’s been a bigger flop, in my opinion, […]

David Wells makes his much anticipated return to the Sox rotation tonight to face Scott Kasmir and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It goes without saying that Kazmir has a very good history against the Sox, which means Wells will not only need to be himself and pitch well, he will most likely need a […]

It was a solid performance. Josh Beckett needed to throw over 100 pitches to get through 6 innings, but he didn’t allow a single run during that time.

It was a much needed performance by Beckett for the Sox coming off from losing 2 games to the Yankees at Fenway. The defense for the club was […]

As was hoped, Curt Schilling was dominant against the Yankees last night. Granted it was a beat up line-up missing a couple of all-stars, but it was still the Yankees; evident by their late rally in the 9th inning.

It was more than just another victory for the Red Sox, as most Yankees games tend to […]

Now that inter-league play is over, I feel I can write a bit again. I was glad to see the Sox take 2 of 3 as I predicted; wish I had predicted a sweep.

Watching Beckett get a couple of hits, one being a homerun, was a treat too. Although I have to say I was […]

Joe Torre doesn’t much care for it, and I’m not so sure I’m a fan of it either. But, it seems MLB likes inter-league play so the Red Sox are in Philadephia to face the Phillies.

That means a few things. First, Youk will be sitting as Ortiz will grab the mit for first base because […]

My earlier post reflected on whether Curt Schilling would be healthy for his latest start against the Baltimore Orioles since he was taken to a hospital for “non-baseball related” stuff in New York. If last night’s performance by the Sox ace is any indication, his pitching was far from healthy.

Although Schilling got the win, and […]

By now nearly every Red Sox fan and sports fanatic might have heard how last week when in the Bronx, Curt Schilling took a ride to the hospital for “non-baseball related” enquiries. That seems to be the only news to come from any mouth associated with the club. Assuming that it’s all true, and everything […]

Josh Beckett showed his age tonight against the Baltimore Orioles. He was excellent on the mound. After having an extra day’s rest, his fast ball was easily topping out at 97-98mph. He gave up a home run to Tejada in the first inning, and it was pretty much lights out after that.

These are the types […]

How much longer will it be before we see the Yanks flex their muscles ($) and buy a servicable reserve outfielder? Gary Shelfield is all ready out nursing a shoulder injury. Johnny Damon bruised his should on a catch off from Mirabelli’s bat. And the one guy they could always count on, Matsui, broke his […]
