Game 50: Holy crap, the Jays won
FINAL SCORE: Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 3PLAYER OF THE GAME: Daniel Bard (2.1 IP, 5K, 0H, 1BB) The Jays beat us. How the hell did that happen? Tim Wakefield just wasn't very good. He allowed six runs in 4.2 innings of work. Daniel Bard, though, is an absolute stud: he worked 2.1 innings and struck out...
Game 39: Wakefield proves to be ace of staff
FINAL SCORE: Red Sox 2, Blue Jays 1PLAYER OF THE GAME: Tim Wakefield (W, 8IP, 5H, 1R, 2BB, 3SO) Josh Beckett? No. Jon Lester? Nah. Daisuke Matsuzaka? Not even close. Who's the ace of the Red Sox staff this year? None other than Tim Wakefield. Wakefield got the Sox back on the right track tonight...
I Got the Modern Sounds of Modern Massachusetts: Next Series Pitchers Preview: Boston Red Sox
After finishing the homestand on a high note with a four-game sweep of the White Sox, the Jays head into Boston 19-21 May for a three-game set up 3.5 games (though just two in the loss-column) on the second-place Red Sox. After dropping two of three to the Yankees last week, this should be a...
Sox need to do something big. Like nothing
After an ugly West Coast trip where the Red Sox went 2-4, some people might be searching for that little red panic button. Thankfully, Theo Epstein is not. Where are the Red Sox's problem spots? They're pretty easy to spot. The biggest problems are: Bad starting pitching. Josh Beckett, Jon...
Game 34: Jim Palmer dominates, Wake struggles, Bard debuts
I'll give credit where credit is due: Jim Palmer absolutely killed the Red Sox last night in the Angels' 8-4 win. I mean, he was on. Five hits in a complete game? That's what a Hall of Famer does, folks. Jimmy boy, he just had the stuff. He was bad the first couple of innings, but after that, Jim...
Games 16 & 17: Sox sweep day/nighter
Not much is better in baseball than sweeping a day/night doubleheader. Tim Wakefield was a hero -- again -- in the day game for the Sox. He earned the rain-shortened complete game victory, 10-1. He allowed one run, five hits, one walk and struck out four Twinkies on the day. With a potential 18...
Know Your Opponent: Minnesota Twins

This is a rare two game series, and will feature Scott Baker vs. Tim Wakefield followed by Francisco Liriano vs. Brad Penny. The Twins are without Joe Mauer, who...
Juiced story syndrome
Rays / Red Sox about to get underway on TBS (why the hell did MLB approve putting all playoff games in the first two rounds on basic cable?!) but I wanted to bring up MSNBC trying to milk everything out of Tim Wakefield's start tonight in an online column. I've got loads of respect for Wakefield...
Game 4: Where the F' is the offense?
It's a simple question: where is this team's offense? Honestly, Red Sox Nation is curious. The Red Sox lost their third straight game tonight, this time to the Angels to a score of 6-3. It dropped the Sox's record to 1-3. While Tim Wakefield did his usual thing -- walks, hit batsmen, loading the...
Kottaras impressive catching Wakefield
via cache.boston.com This is very high praise from the veteran Tim Wakefield: "I'm as comfortable with [George Kottaras] as I was with [Kevin] Cash last year," Wakefield said. This comes from Wakefield after a solid performance against the Yankees last night in which Kottaras -- his new...
