BoSox Blotter

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 […]

It doesn’t appear there was any blockbuster deal made before the trading deadline for the Boston Red Sox. That’s correct. All were rumors. No A. Jones. No Clemens. Thank god no Kip Wells. Now we really need Wells, Wake, Foulke and possibly Clement to return and be at the top of their game. If that […]

Tonight could be a very good test as to how well the Sox will be able to assess the rest of the season. David Wells will take the hill for the first time in months. Hopefully he’s Boomer of old and leads the Sox over Byrd and the Los Angeles Angels of Annaheim… If not, […]

Trot Nixon is hurt. Everyone from Coco Crisp and Mike Lowell, to Wily Mo Pena and Mark Loretta have been rumored to be on the trading block for the Sox who need a quality starting pitcher to add to a very beaten starting rotation that still finds itself in a half game lead in the […]

As many of you’ve probably already heard, David Wells is most likely going to skip a rehab start or two in the minors and come right to the big league. How convenient that his return will coincide with the trading deadline. Unfortunately, the Sox have to do more than that. Having Wells as the mid-season […]

I was just reading over at the Globe about Shea Hillenbrand having some rough moments with the organization lately. So, they’ve decided to designate him for assignment. I think the odds are very against the Sox getting him, but it’d be nice to pick up a corner infield hitting .301 with a dozen homes […]

Last night rookie pitcher Jon Lester went further in a major league game than he ever has before. Lester finally found a night be economical and effective with his pitches, lasting 8 innings while only surrendering one hit. The catch: it was the Kansas City Royals.

The bottom line is the Sox need to win games. […]

After a 19 inning marathon in which the Sox lost to the Sox, and with the All-Star break mixed in, I’m back to get going on the 2nd half of the season. Jon Lester opens out of the gate against the Athletics. Lester has still yet to have a dominating performance and remains 4-0 with […]

Jon Lester has yet to be dominant, but he’s as fierce a competitor on the mound that there is. After getting in a bases loaded, no out jam against the best offense in the league, he surrendered only 1 run and went on to only give up 2 runs over 6 innings. On top of […]

Since I’m able to blog again and the Sox win when I do (see my previous post), I’m going to go ahead and look at the upcoming Chicago White Sox series.

First off, it’s not great that the Red Sox are playing in Chicago, they fair much better at home. Unfortunately, I don’t make the schedules. […]
