| | There isn’t a single aspect of the team game that the Red Sox are doing well right now. The pitching has been poor. The hitting has been horrendous. The baserunning has been embarrassing. And the defense has been indefensible.
That’s a bad combination on a team that was built on pitching and defense.

| | He passed a stone on Friday morning and everything was believed to be okay, but the pain returned yesterday and was heightened today. So Cameron was scratched from the Red Sox lineup today and was headed back to the hospital for further examination.

| | And while other article have focused on the Rays recent success against the Sox, i’m not buying into any suggestion that this is part of a pattern. The fact of the matter is Boston is 13-5 against Tampa at Fenway Park over the last two years (they are just 4-14 at the Trop). The Sox look disinterested,
and that has nothing to do with the Rays recent success against The Olde Towne...

Jon Lester has no answers

| | Besides the results, what has been most frustrating for Jon Lester this season is that he really cannot say why he has been pitching poorly.
Lester is up to 3-for-3 in way-below-subpar starts after allowing a season-high seven runs in six innings of yesterday’s 7-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. His ERA swelled to 8.44.
For a starter considered to be among the elite in the...

Hitters fail to deliver in clutch
|

| | In the clutch, the Red Sox offense has hit the brakes.
There weren’t many opportunities in yesterday’s 7-1 loss thanks to Matt Garza, the Tampa Bay Rays right-hander and chief Red Sox nemesis. But when the Sox finally did get a few runners into scoring position in the eighth inning, they were unable to score, extending their drought with men on second and third base to...

Fenway still frozen

| | When the Red Sox finally scored a run yesterday, on Dustin Pedroia’s ninth-inning sacrifice fly, many of the waterlogged fans still remaining in Fenway Park stood and cheered. At least they remembered how to clap. The Red Sox lost their fourth straight game - 7-1 to the Tampa Bay Rays - dropping their record to 4-8, their worst 12-game start since 1996, when they went 2-10....

Getting late early on Red Sox
|

 |

| | When does it stop being “still early” for the Red Sox?
Still early. It is the sunshine-seeking fan’s get-out-of-jail-free card, a daily dose of one-size-fits-all rationalization.
This team can’t hit.

| | Tito has never shown a predilection for covering his own butt — not before the success of a couple world championships and certainly not since. He is loyal, oftentimes to a fault. I can’t recall a single instance when he threw someone under the bus. Public embarrassment does not make a player or a coach any smarter… it only humiliates and builds resentment.

Red Sox-Rays: Bogar’s Gaffe Costs...

| | Inexplicably, Bogar waved Youkilis home - this, in spite of the fact there was no one out, it was a tie game, and it obviously was going to be a bang-bang play at the plate. Youkilis was out easily.
Frankly, Red Sox Nation, it was a boneheaded move reminiscent of - dare I say it? - Wendell Kim!

| | Fans were promised fireworks tonight at Lewis-Gale Field, but the Salem Red Sox offense did not make the 4,900+ people in attendance wait until after the game for an explosion.
The Sox jumped out to an insurmountable lead after five innings, powered by a pair of three-run home runs off the bats of DH Ryan Lavarnway and C Tim Federowicz, eventually beating the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (ATL),...
