Really, Curt Schilling just had to prove he still had it, huh?
Curt Schilling proved that he still has big playoff performances left in the veins. Now he gets to prove he’s got more in Game 2 Saturday.
With Red Sox Nation still buzzing over an ALDS sweep and overwhelming sense of shaudenfreude over the latest [...]
It’s an easy equation really. Win two games, and the Red Sox get the Angels in the first round. Lose out, or drop three of four to Minninniesota, watch the Yankees take three of four, and play Cleveland.
The ability to use Dice-K more than once in a five-game series would be a big advantage [...]
So much for that show.
After a rain out, it’s always hard to read how the next day’s matchup will go. Which pitcher warmed up more? (Answer: Josh Beckett) Which pitcher is less likely to be phased? (Answer: Josh Beckett) Which pitcher will be more affected by a late night before an early afternoon start? [...]
And boy, do we mean kid. Can anyone else remember a pitcher looking as young as Clay Buchholz? He’s like a ginat, over-sized 13 year-old kid brother with filthy stuff. Filthy.
That was evident in the stares Buchholz got from Gary Matthews Jr. (where were the steroids chants Beantown? Come on! Forget Bonds, this guy [...]
Today could be a truly seminal moment for the Red Sox, with the departure of a man who was to star in the Hub coinciding with the arrival of two supernovas in full development.
Jacoby Ellsbury is just one major draw in today’s day-night home doubleheader against the Angels.
Barring a shocking development, we have [...]
What do you get with two teams who have split the first two of a three-game series? That’s right everyone … the rubber match is on.
We know Curt and Shonda know how to mug on a red carpet. We’re hoping he still knows how to pitch in a gray uniform.
OK folks, here’s how [...]
OK, Josh Beckett, now you need to win.
Allright, now it’s time to cut out the question marks and crap. It’s time to win Josh.
Now you need to pitch the way the Red Sox thought you would when the shipped one of the game’s most highly touted shortstop prospects - now reigning NL rookie of [...]
OK Josh, my boy. How about we consider the last outing a mulligan. Just a one-start vacation. Sound good?
It does to Sox fans. After dominating most of the season, Josh Beckett was the recipient of awful luck for two starts, the second a complete game, 1-0 loss to Fausto Carmona (Fausto! You just want to [...]
Got ‘em.
That has to be the feeling among Sox brass this afternoon, who surreptitiously swept down and snatched up Eric Gagne from the Rangers before the deadline, stealing him away from the Yankees and Mets, both of which were in hot pursuit, among others.
Someone start getting a hat dirty, Eric Gagne is coming to Beantown.
The [...]
At times he’s been a superstar. At times he’s been mediocre. But no matter what, Daisuke Matsuzaka has been interesting.
The Kaibutsu has had plenty of hype, and he’s reached it in a lot of different categories, good and bad.
For a pitcher who entered with enough hype to nauseate two different countries, Dice-K has a lot [...]
