| | "Move over chicken and beer. Golf has been entered into the Red Sox mix.
According to a report by 98.5 The Sports Hub's Hardy, Red Sox righthander Josh Beckett played golf in the area last Thursday afternoon, two days before he was scheduled to miss a start against the Orioles because of stiffness in his latissimus muscle.
The Sports Hub's Michael Felger said the report had been...

No Relief For Red Sox
|
|
 |

| | "The irony was inescapable.
Leading by one run in the eighth inning last night, the Red Sox looked for a reliever to bail them out of a two-on, none-out threat from the Kansas City Royals. Over the past two seasons, that job belonged to Daniel Bard, who usually did his best Houdini and made rallies disappear.
But Bard is a starting pitcher now, and this mess was his creation....

| | "According to a baseball source, Kevin Youkilis was "hurting" last night, the stiffness in his lower back only intensifying, not abating.
And so, it is possible, maybe even likely, that Youkilis will be placed on the 15-day disabled list before tonight's series finale against the Oakland Athletics, opening the door for the Red Sox to recall top prospect Will Middlebrooks...

| | "When highly touted Red Sox prospect Jose Iglesias bounded into the clubhouse about three hours before Tuesday night's game against the Oakland Athletics, it was clear that a roster move was in the works.
What is unclear is how long Iglesias will take up residence at Fenway Park. This could be a relatively short visit, depends on how well -- and how quickly -- third baseman Kevin...

Joe Girardi Denied Longer Look At...

| | "New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi was looking forward to last night's game with the Red Sox for reasons beyond completing a series sweep at Fenway Park.
After spoiling the ballpark's centennial birthday celebration with a 6-2 victory on Friday, the Yankees embarrassed their hosts by rallying from a 9-0 deficit to capture a 15-9 win on Saturday.
A strong coastal storm washed out...

Marlon Byrd Lands In Outfield

| | "Marlon Byrd figured he'd be traded this year, with the Chicago Cubs rebuilding and the organization having some outfield depth. But when he opened the season 3-for-43, he didn't expect to get traded anywhere good.
So imagine his surprise when the Cubs shipped him to the Red Sox over the weekend for right-hander Michael Bowden and a player to be named later. Despite their slow start...

Not Catching Too Much Flak

| | "There are a lot of people to blame for the Red Sox' 4-10 start, but the ones who are getting off the easiest are the ones the most blame should be placed on - the players.
If you haven't noticed, this team has a $175 million payroll. Granted, about $67 million of it is currently going to players on the disabled list, but this is a team that should be closer to .500 than six games...

Imploding Bullpen Should Be Blown Up

| | "The powwow Saturday night among Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, general manager Ben Cherington, assistant general manager Brian O'Halloran, and owner John Henry likely stumbled across the subject of the bullpen.
The bullpen, which has an 8.64 ERA after 14 games, the one that allowed 14 runs (13 earned), 12 hits, and 5 walks in three innings in Boston's 15-9 loss to the Yankees...

| | "Here's a quick and easy way to describe the fruits of the Red Sox [team stats]' offseason labors:
An exercise in futility.
There's really not a better way to describe the Sox' luckless attempt to replace Jonathan Papelbon and Daniel Bard in their bullpen.
As if losing their primary Papelbon replacement — the oft-injured Andrew Bailey — to injury (thumb surgery)...

A Tick Up, Then Down For Josh Beckett
|
|
 |
jtsredsox24 found this 28 days ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | "The good news on the Josh Beckett front is that the right-hander had his second strong start in a row last night and appears to have put his inexplicably rough first outing in the past.
The velocity on his fastball also improved a tick last night, trending upwards from the 90, 91 mph in his last start against the Rays to mostly 92 and 93 against the Rangers.
But as the 'L' next to...
