The Sox have taken three giant steps backward in the last
two days. They now have perhaps five games left with the Yankees for the rest of the year and have backed themselves into the position of absolutely having to win all those games. If the Sox don't win the AL East crown, they have precious little chance of making it to the AL Playoffs this year....

Ortiz does it again!!
David Ortiz must be the best clutch hitter in the history of baseball. Last night he hit a three run home run deliver the Sox a walk-off victory in the ninth. It was the eighth walk-off home run in Ortiz's career. This was a rock em sock em game in which the Sox and the Indians swapped leads...

The Sox have won four games in a row and have a three and a half game
lead over the New York Yankees in the East Division of the AL. They have just embarked on their first West Coast journey of the season at this late date. Quite often, West Coast trips are like walks into the Valley of Death for the Red Sox but they are upon us and at least they started off with a...

The win broke a four game losing streak and kept them within a game of the division leading New York Yankees. The Braves for...

Sox lose another to Twins
The Twins were happier at the end of this series with the Sox than they were at the beginning because they managed to sweep the three games. The Sox cannot hit and their bullpen sucks which does not make for a winning team. Last night David Ortiz hit a gargantuan blast that caromed off a speaker in...
