What the heck just happened? Last weekend, Sox starters were kicking butt and taking names, this weekend, it’s a Mongolian cluster, where far too many hits, walks and homers were given up…
Ironically enough, the offense, hitting at a .293 pace as a team, isn’t at fault here–it’s the fact that now pitchers cannot hold leads [...]

Red Sox fans are very lucky–not every team has a pitcher who, when he steps on the mound, makes you feel there is no way he could lose…The Sox had that in Pedro Martinez, and in Curt Schilling. And once again, the Sox have that elusive TRUE ace–in Josh Beckett. Every time he pitches, I [...]

If the list of injured players for the Sox doesn’t slow down quick, it’s going to be a very VERY long season…
