Tim Wakefield (41) and Randy Johnson (44) hooked up last night in a pitching duel for and of the ages at Fenway Park. With the score 2-0 in the eighth inning, catcher Kevin Cash, who had actually been intentionally walked earlier in the game, hit a three run homer of reliever Juan Cruz to give the … Continue reading Cash Money

Trailing 4-1 in the eighth inning, the Red Sox slumping offense suddenly erupted for four runs, giving Boston a 5-4 lead, which Jonathan Papelbon closed out in the ninth for the win over the Red Sox first ever win over the Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. Nick Cafardo has Jason Varitek, who was in the biggest slump of … Continue reading Sox Roar Back In The Eighth

The Red Sox got a strong outing from Josh Beckett, but couldn't solve Dan Haren, who held Boston to two hits over seven innings last night in a 2-1 Arizona win at Fenway Park. Amalie Benjamin has the Sox dealing with their share of bad luck last night, including an injury to Kevin Youkilis on … Continue reading Sox Offense Sputters Against Haren

It's another parade day here in Boston. These days just don't get old, do they? The parade will start at 11:00am at the TD Banknorth Garden and roll past City Hall and Boston Common before ending at Copley Square. Somehow, the Boston Globe let Bob Ryan get the front cover of the paper today. I thought that … Continue reading Another Parade Day

They had their chances. Once again the Celtics fell behind early, this time by 19 points in the first half, before coming back to take the lead. Then in the fourth quarter they trailed by 14 points, and came back to take a lead, and you might've thought "Game six Pistons, all over again." But … Continue reading Celts Can’t Close It Out, Head Back To Boston

A few follow-up thoughts on last night's game... Mike Breen is ridiculous. I have rarely seen such man-love from an announcer for a player as he unfailingly displays for Kobe Bryant. He's approaching Tim McCarver/Derek Jeter "calm eyes" territory here.
