BoSox Blotter

It was about a half a month ago that the Red Sox won the rights to negotiate with Dice-K. To this point, there really hasn’t been much to announce to the public as the talks continue and have until December 14th before a deal has to be struck. Aside from all of the initial Matsuzaka […]

At this point I can’t say that I’m surprised the Red Sox are the top bidder, but I’ll be surprised if they overpay anymore for him as a “pitcher” during the next 30 days. That doesn’t mean I don’t expect him to get offered a nice cushiony contract, he is only 26 and has more […]

This is from ESPN.com, could there be any worse reporting? How far from the truth are these statements:

5. Javy Lopez to the Red Sox from the Orioles for a player to be named later
Had Jason Varitek been the only big loss for Boston, this deal might have been a factor. But the Red Sox imploded […]

Last night was a rare delight for Sox fans. Julian Taverez was exceptional as a starter — holding the ChiSox to 2 runs over 6+ innings. I’m thinking he should have been our 5th starter. I’m not getting crazy, but I would entertain the idea of being post-season hopeful if we sweep the Chicago White […]

It’s been ages since there’s been a post here. It’s felt like centuries since the Sox won a game before last night’s. There has been a lot of criticism thrown at the Red Sox organization, and much of it is deserved. Some really horrible deals have been made the last couple of seasons, and for […]

I just read this from RedSox.com about the Sox most recent loss to the Oakland Athletics:

Boston has lost 13 of their last 16 contests and with a rainout at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox dropped to 7 ½ games back of the division lead for the first time since August 20, 2004.

If only the […]

We couldn’t have sent Seanez somewhere before the trading deadline??? Now we’re going to eat his salary anyway!

It’s now 8-5 in the 10th inning, Yankees are well on their way to their 4th victory in 3 days over the Red Sox. This might be the cap to a horrible second half season. Craig Hansen has just given up his 2nd home run of the inning, a two run shot this time by […]

While it is still early in August, the Red Sox have won just two games the entire month. Everything from shady starting pitching to a reliable bullpen falling apart, has been the reason why the Sox are now 2 games from first in the AL East, and a 1/2 game back in the Wild Card […]

Boston Red Sox: For all the rumors and potential deals mentioned on ESPN in the last week — involving everybody from Andruw Jones to Coco Crisp to Julio Lugo to Mike Lowell — the Red Sox came away with zip. In light of the Yankees’ deals for Bobby Abreu, Cory Lidle and Craig Wilson at […]
