Game 49: Varitek, Beckett are money
FINAL SCORE: Red Sox 3, Twins 1PLAYER OF THE GAME: Josh Beckett (7IP, 3H, 1ER, 4BB, 8K) The AL East should be just a tad bit worried because it looks like we've got our old Josh Beckett back. Beckett worked seven innings, allowed three hits, one run, four walks and struck out eight in the Sox's...
Game 37: Beckett, Sox win one on the road
FINAL: Red Sox 5, Mariners 3 Why thank you, Josh Beckett. You finally put forth a pretty good performance. It wasn't the best start this season by a Sox starter, but it was Beckett's best since Opening Day. He went seven full innings, surrendered four hits, three runs (two earned), walked three...
Game 33: Varitek -- The Dude -- is the new king of clutch
This was a game the Red Sox probably should not have won. Why? Because Justin Masterson was ugly, Jered Weaver was solid and the Red Sox just couldn't string together any hits. In baseball, though, sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you get lucky enough to earn the win and that's exactly what the...
Game 5: The Red Sox ... won? Really?
Mark it down: the Red Sox now have two wins on the season. After a couple of bombs by Jason Bay and six solid innings from starter Brad Penny, the Red Sox took home the 5-4 victory over the Angels on Saturday. Bay hit his bombs in the 7th and 9th innings while Mike Lowell, slotted right behind...
Game 3: Dice-K struggles, Rays squeak Sox
Maybe Daisuke Matsuzaka needs to be wearing the Japan colors when he pitches, because it seems like -- at least early in the season -- he struggles with the Sox, rocks in the WBC. Dice-K got touched up for nine hits, four runs (including three home runs), three walks and struck out five in 5.1...
Lester to feature new pitch in 2009
Jon Lester until this point had been predominantly known for his Fastball, Cutter and Curveball mix. That, according to Lester is about to change (no pun intended), as he has been working on incorporating a change-up into his already effective arsenal: "I think it's going to be a pitch like we...
Theo: George Kottaras is the backup catcher
When Theo speaks, you listen. Now Theo says George Kottaras will be Jason Varitek's backup now that Josh Bard was cut: General Manager Theo Epstein says that the backup job "is George Kottaras's to lose.'' ... Kottaras is out of minor league options, meaning another team could claim him if the...
Red Sox cut catcher Josh Bard
The Red Sox have placed catcher Josh Bard on "unconditional release waivers," according to the Globe. Bard signed with the Red Sox in early January. This leaves the Sox with three catchers in camp: Jason Varitek, George Kottaras and Dusty Brown. I won't go and find my comments, but I was saying...

Red Sox Stuff That Is Pissing Me Off.
1. the CHB. And I quote, from his latest piece: He signed with the Red Sox in January, and the Sox plan to use him [Baldelli] as a fourth outfielder - no small job on any team that employs J.D. Drew. The rest of the piece is okay, but it feels unnecessary to backhand J.D. Drew like this....
