Sox behind Wakefield beat Tampa Bay 3-1.
Boston scored three runs in the third inning to beat Tampa Bay 3-1 behind yet another strong pitching performance by Tim Wakefield. Wakefield is on an impressive pitching streak and this was his third strong outing in a row. During this streak, he has compiled a 1.37 ERA. Shortstop Eric Rentereia...

The Yankees beat Sox, Schilling 5-3.
Curt Schilling pitched great for the first five innings, but ended up leaving fat pitches to Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams which changed the outcome of the game. Pitching on his gimpy ankle in cold weather, Shilling had held the Yankees to a 2-2 tie until the fateful sixth. Jason Giambi hit a two...

The Sox paste Yanks 8-1.
Tim Wakefield pitched a wonderful seven innings and backed by his battery mate Doug Mirabelli among others, he coasted to an easy win over the New York Yankees. Mirabelli, who specializes in catching Wakefield's elusive knuckleball, smacked a two run homer which provided the only runs needed over...

Sox lose two out of three to Toronto.
I would be astonished if the Red Sox make a serious run for the World Series this year. They, so far, with the exception of Bronson Arroyo, whom I have always liked, and Jason Veritek, are not playing with any kind of intensity and will probably have to eat David Welles contract because taking a bet...

Foulke, the Sox closer, walked a tight rope but managed to escape with a save. The Sox jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first when Johnny Damon reached...

The Red Sox won their first game of the 2005 season yesteday
by defeating the Yankees 7-6. Arod made an error in the eighth inning from which reliever Marianno Rivera could not extricate himself and Sox closer Keith Foulke slammed the door on the Yankees for the rest of the way. This bode well for the Sox. This victory meant that they won at least one of the...

The Sox lose their second straight to the Yankees 4-3.
Derek Jeter hit a walk-off home run off Red Sox closer Keith Foulke in the ninth inning yesterday as the Sox dropped their second straight to the Bronx Bombers Tuesday night. Edgar Rentereia also made a costly error so that was an uncharacteristic development. Foulke had to put a 3-2 pitch over the...

The Sox lost their first game of the year last night to the New York
Yankees. (I was about to write the World Champion New York Yankees.) by the impressive (for the Yankees) score of 9-2. Randy Johnson started and went six for the Yanks and had posted a 6-1 lead by the time he left in the sixth. Tlhe Yankees looked great. The Sox sucked. Same bullshit. Whatever. The...
