BoSox Blotter

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 […]

After leaving 15 runners on base, and the bases loaded twice, the Red Sox managed enough offense to come back and beat the Yankees. It was looking to be a very frustrating night, and another one on Wakefield’s watch.

Wakefield threw very well, as did all the Sox pitchers combining for something like 12 strike-outs. But […]

After 5 wins in a row, the Sox couldn’t get it together against Mussina, and Schilling was unable to deliver the Sox a 6 win in a row. The Red Sox defeat to the Yankees by such a gap in runs (7-3) is a bit dissappointing, to say the least.

Schilling never seemed to really have […]

Hopefully I’m not writing this too early, seeing that there is still half an inning left to play at Yankee Stadium, but the Sox appear destine to win this first game of a three game series. Hyped as a possible pitching duel, it was anything but. Randy Johnson left in the 4th inning and Beckett […]
