| | Hours before the Red Sox opened a big series at Tampa Bay, the Red Sox second baseman sat in the Tropicana Field dugout, ever the optimist about his team and himself.
"Every player goes through slumps. Mine always seem to be in May,'' said Dustin Pedroia, undaunted by an 0-for-19 skid that ended with his first-inning single, his first of three hits Monday.
"When you slump,...

Sox send message

smokeyboy found this 2 years ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | As much as anything else, the Red Sox made a statement here last night. For all of their early-season warts, they remain serious contenders in the American League East, and everyone, including the mighty Tampa Bay Rays, would be wise to take notice.
In what may qualify as their most complete performance to date, the Red Sox routed the Rays, 6-1, under the dome at Tropicana Field, and...

Atchison, Cameron in; McDonald out

| | Should the Red Sox be in a position where they're voting on playoff shares this October, you can be certain they won't forget what Darnell McDonald did for them while he was here.
McDonald was designated for assignment Monday, a prelude to Mike Cameron being activated in time for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The move could hardly be termed unexpected, with both Jacoby...

Red-hot Red Sox roll over Rays

smokeyboy found this 2 years ago on mlb.mlb.com
| | In subtle fashion, the Red Sox have come together as a team in recent days, blending the offense, pitching and defense together in ways that seemed impossible during a futile stretch earlier in the season. Boston's improvement might have been unnoticeable to some because there was no dent in the standings.
On Monday night, the Red Sox finally were in the position where they could...

| | Tim Wakefield is reaching a point in his career when every time he does something, he’s the oldest guy to do it.
Not that he’s keeping track.
Yesterday, Wakefield tossed eight shutout innings in the Red Sox’ 8-3 interleague win against the Philadelphia Phillies, sailing through one of the major league’s best lineups by allowing just five hits and...

Kevin Youkilis causing May-hem

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | Second baseman Dustin Pedroia walked through the Red Sox clubhouse before yesterday’s game against the Phillies and joked that the batting cage is the only place he seems to be getting any hits lately.
Meanwhile, nobody has been able to keep Kevin Youkilis off the bases. Not even Roy Halladay.
The first baseman continued to terrorize the right-hander, stroking a...

Wakefield takes a Halladay

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | The record will reflect that the Red Sox KO’d Roy Halladay in the sixth inning here yesterday, handing him his shortest start since last Aug. 19, when he faced them as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. But that wasn’t the biggest reason the Sox won a three-game series against the two-time National League-champion Phillies this weekend. “It starts with your...

Sox have right formula for Doc

| | The other day, Red Sox manager Terry Francona was saying how glad he was that Roy Halladay was out of the AL East but added he still wished the right-hander had been traded somewhere “where we wouldn’t ever have to face him.”
OK, but the Red Sox are unusually successful against the former Toronto Blue Jays ace, proving so again yesterday when they beat the...

Jon Lester gives pen a rest

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | It took Jon Lester five starts this season to earn his first victory. He gave up a whopping 15 runs in 16 innings in his first three starts, leading to this big league head-scratcher: Why can’t Jon Lester win in April?
Thankfully for the Red Sox, nobody’s asking why the lefty can’t win in May.
In pitching the Sox to a complete-game 6-2 victory over the...

Red Sox start Interleague fun in Philly

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on boston.redsox.mlb.com
| | For the Red Sox, a trip to Philadelphia this weekend means a lot more than indulging in cheesesteaks, climbing the "Rocky" steps or brushing up on the history of Ben Franklin.
Not only does it entail playing three games against a dangerous team that has been in the World Series the past two years, but it includes David Ortiz shaking the rust off his first-baseman's mitt...
