BoSox Blotter

Last night was a bleeder. In more ways than one.

Neither Beckett or Halliday were themselves, and how could they be on such a drizzily night? The hits from both teams seemed rather weak, but often got the job done.

Paps finally gave up a run, and unfortunately it was the winning run for the Blue Jays.

Ah, […]

I just read that the Houston Astros offered Roger Clemens $18mm to return for the rest of the season. If this is actually the case, the Red Sox could, and probably should, let the effort to sign the Rocket pass.

Don’t get me wrong, I know he’s good. But, at $18 million a year being offered […]

Ok, both former 2004 Red Sox players (Doug Mirabelli and Johnny Damon) returned to Fenway and were unable to get a hit. But, the Sox beat the Yankees for the first game of a 19-game season series with the bombers.

I’ve heard and read many things about Damon’s first at bat, and perhaps the rendition […]

WOW! If this is true, it’s a bit surprising, but certainly a very needed move. Reports or rumors are swirling that Doug Mirabelli has been traded for by the Sox in exchange for Josh Bard and Cla Meredith.

If this deal has gone down, I think it exemplifies the Sox frustration with Bard and their realization […]

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 […]
