Track The Red Sox

[UKMustangFan]

8-4 in the 9th Sox are up.....Rivera is getting hit hard again. Runners on the corners, 1 out, already 1 in....He just struggles against the BoSox...:banana: :banana:

[HOMELESS CAMEL]

Yankees sitting in last place after the first month of the season. Well CLOSE to the end of the first month, just amazing how much they are struggling right now.

The Red Sox improved to 21-10 tonight with a 9-2 beatdown of the Blue Jays, who had the Sox number before tonight. Josh Beckett gave up a homerun on his first pitch and that was it over 7 innings. It's a great game when they score 9 runs with Manny and Papi go 1-8. This team is playing great baseball right now and they get Jon Lester (7-2 last year with Lymphoma) back this week.

22-10 after beating Toronto 9-3 tonight. Dice-K was solid going 7 innings and giving up only one run. 4 more homers from the Sox tonight including Manny and Papi homering in the same game for the 44th time. This improves Boston to 13-6 on the road.

[UKMustangFan]

Boston up 8-0 in the 9th tonight. Coupled with the Rangers 14-2 pounding of the Yankees and the Sox are now sitting 7 games up in the AL East.

 

Mike Lowell hits #7 and Papi knocks in 2. Lowell is having an All-Star type year thus far... .303BA, 7HR, 28RBI. The biggest positive from this is the BlueJays had Roy Halladay on the mound. 8R, 7ER in 5 Innings....Ouch.

 

Tim Wakefield has been brilliant this year. He improves to 4-3, but his ERA is a sick 1.79. If the offense keeps this tear up the pitching staff is going to make it impossible for them to lose.

The Red Sox lost tonight to the Orioles 6-3, a team they had beaten 21 out of 24. However, it was Tavarez on the mound tonight and they've got Schilling and Beckett to finish off the weekend. I had hoped that the Sox would bring up Jon Lester to pitch tonight but I guess it will be next week. Even so the Yankees took it on the chin tonight against the Mariners and Fox posted a stat than no AL team had as big a lead in the division this late in the season since the 2001 Mariners. I had to make sure all of you Yankee fans knew that. You remind me of the players on Deal or No Deal that have just opened the 1 Million, the 700,000, and the 500,000 briefcases in a row while still saying: That's okay--its okay. Just keep telling yourselves that......

13-4 victory tonight for the Sox...Will have at least a 7 game lead over the Yanks regardless of how NY does in Seattle.

Red Sox score 6 in the ninth inning thanks to a couple of clutch hits by Ortiz and Varitek and some very charitable fielding by the O's to comeback and win in their final at bat 6-5. Beckett didn't pitch that well and left after 4 innings with another blister (shouldn't we trade for Moises Alou so he can teach Becks how to toughen up his skin?) so he failed to tie 3 other Red Sox pitchers with wins in their first 8 starts. With the win today the Sox are 22-3 against the O's since the beginning of last season. Overall Boston's record is now 25-11 and they lead the AL East by 8 games over the O's and Yankees. The next week will be big for the Sox as they have 4 against the Tigers at home, followed by 3 at home against the Braves and 3 against the Evil Empire at the Stadium.

[AverageJoesGym]

Boston improved to a Major League best 26-11 by taking the series opening game against the Tigers 7-1. Dice-K threw a complete game, allowing 1 run on 6 hits while striking out 5 and allowing no walks. The last two games he has went 2-0 with this line: 16 IP 11 H 2 R 2 ER 2 HR 3 BB and 13 K. He became the AL's 4th 5 game winner at 5-2 on the year. It seems like he has gotten better command of his pitches after struggling a little bit with control to begin the season.

[UKMustangFan]

Red Sox sweep the Tigers in a DH today, coupled with the Yankees loss, and the good guys have a 9.5 game lead over NY.

 

Paging Roger Clemens....You're needed now.

How about Hinske's catch?

He'll be in a neck brace tomorrow...

...and he needs a new hat.

Red Sox took one on the chin last night, but have responded well early. A 2-Run HR from ManRam has help the Sox build an early 3-0 lead against the Yanks. They need to win at least 1 in this 3 game series IMO....

Huge win by the Red Sox tonight as they took down the evil empire 7-3. Mussina was lit up for 7 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings and his ERA now stands north of 6 for the year. This was a big game because Boston had its number 5 starter, Julian Tavarez going up against one of the Yankees main guys. This win means that even if Red Sox killer Andy Pettitte (13-6 lifetime against the Sox) can salvage the series for the Yankees they'll still only pick up one game and be 9 1/2 out. A win by the Sox, who have Schilling pitching, would push the lead to 11 1/2 . Boston stands at 6-2 on the year against the Yankees and 50-48 since the beginning of the 2003 season (playoffs included). They are also 6-3 in a murderous 10 game stretch against the Tigers, Braves and Yankees. I felt that if the Sox could go 5-5 in that stretch they'd be doing well with Beckett being out, now they can do no worse than 6-4. The calender is getting ready to flip to June: Beckett, Timlin and Lester are set to return.....keep it rollin'.....
