Everyone knows the Red Sox won the World Series and they did so pretty easily - 4 game sweep.  I take this as conclusive evidence the Sox are the better team - well the owner of the Rockies doesn’t agree -
“These guys did amazing things,” Monfort said. “I think this team is a better team […]

Dice-K came up big holding the Indians to just 2 runs over 5 innings.  The bullpen also looked great pitching 4 shutout innings to close the season on the Indians.
Josh Beckett won the ALCS MVP which I think most people will agree with now he needs to get the Cy Young to cap off an […]

Josh Beckett came through again last night - shutting down the Indians in a must win game to move the series back to Fenway.  Beckett improved to 3-0 this October with an ERA of 1.17 - can you say Cy Young?
To me it looked like Beckett had most of the Indians beat before they even stepped […]

Dice-K struggled for 4 2/3 innings pitching 101 pitches and giving up 4 runs - while Jake Westbrook looked like an all-star - holding the Sox to 2 runs in 6 2/3.  Dice-K just hasn’t had the same stuff he had in the first half of the season.  I don’t know if its the workload […]

…to the pitchers duel that wasn’t?  The performance from Fausto Carmona and Curt Schilling just didn’t live up to hype.  Fausto was gone from the game much earlier than I thought he would thanks to patient hitting from the Sox and Schilling just didn’t look as dominant as he did in his last game.

C.C. Sabathia certainly didn’t look like a Cy Young candidate tonight - getting chased out of the game in less than 5 innings.  As good as Josh Beckett was - and he was good - the amazing part of the Sox win was the offense.  Every member of the Boston lineup hit safely - and […]

Maybe the vacation was needed by Manny this year. With the intentional walk to David Ortiz - the usual Mr. October for the Sox - Manny made them pay by killing a pitch from K-Rod. Although the start wasn’t great for Dice-K - the bullpen was on top of there game and didn’t […]

Josh Beckett was amazing tonight - demonstrating why he should be the Cy Young winner for 2007.  It was nice to see the Sox hitting early and get some run support for Beckett - it looks like the offense is heating up at the right time.  It turns out this was Josh Beckett’s 2nd consecutive […]

…and a magic number of 5.  With the division lead at 2 thanks to the Blue Jays beating the Yankees yesterday the next week should be interesting - nothing like keeping it tight to the end.  I know the Sox have already clinched a playoff spot - whether the division or widlcard - but I […]

I don’t really think there is any reason to panic about making it to the post-season - the Red Sox will clinch the wildcard with 4 more wins.  However, I didn’t think I would be talking about the wildcard a couple of months ago when the lead was 12 in the AL division.  It will […]
