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...
Sox need to do something big. Like nothing

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...
O Starters Where Art Thou?
Recently a certain Red Sox hurler has come under scrutiny, and I'm not talking about the guy whose DFA announcement caused birds to sing and lepers to dance Javier Lopez.

Game 32: Bay, Red Sox get it done late
What can we say about Jason Bay that we haven't already said? When the Sox needed him the most tonight, he stepped up. With a 3-3 game in the bottom of the 8th, David Ortiz hit a double to get things started. Right behind him was that player from Canada -- Oh, Bay! -- with a double of his own to...

Who am I?
1. I pitch for the Boston Red Sox. 2. I have been considered a potential ace for a number of years. There are many who are reluctant to give me the "ace" label now. 3. According to Fangraphs.com's numbers, I was 6th among qualified ML starters in Fielding Independent Pitching this past season,...
Bradford: Beckett's Painful Game 6
Rob Bradford, one of my favorite Red Sox baseball writers, has a story on WEEI.com about Beckett's injury and how he gutted through Game 6. It's well worth a read. A sample: When Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein describes Beckett’s five-inning performance in Game 6 as “borderline...
