| | Case in point: Bottom of the 8th inning. No one out. Youkilis at first base. NY manager Joe Girardi calls on southpaw reliever Damaso Marte to pitch to David Ortiz, with Mike Lowell sitting on the bench and available to pinch hit. Ortiz is just 2-for-14 against marte in his career, with four strikeouts. Francona leaves Ortiz in the game to hit. Papi flies out.
Girardi brings in righty...

| | Game 2 of the 2010 season between baseball's biggest rivals evolved, after just five innings, into a battle of the bullpens. This was the kind of game that, based on conventional wisdom about bullpen depth, the Boston Red Sox were supposed to win.
Conventional wisdom was wrong. The New York Yankees were right.

| | The Red Sox spent a lot of time and energy over the winter building a much-improved defense. However, nobody said it was going to be perfect.
And the timing of shortstop Marco Scutaro's throwing error on Tuesday night was rather imperfect, and it played a significant role in a 6-4 loss to the Yankees.
It looked like lefty reliever Hideki Okajima had navigated himself out of a jam in...

| | Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester knows exactly what his career numbers are in the early months of the season, especially in March and April. The statistics aren't very good and he's not too worried about it.
The trend continued Tuesday night at Fenway Park when Lester failed to get past the fifth inning, allowing four runs on five hits with three walks and four strikeouts against the...

| | Now that Josh Beckett is fat and happy (at least in a financial sense) is it too early to begin the Victor Martinez Contract Watch?
Martinez has stated that he will not negotiate during the season, but you and I know how that dance goes. Something tells me that if the Red Sox called tomorrow and offered him a five-year, $65 million contract that stance might soften just a little.

Beckett contract might send message

smokeyboy found this 3 years ago on sports.espn.go.com
| | There were messages galore one could read in the Boston Red Sox's coming to terms on a four-year, $68 million extension with pitcher Josh Beckett, which was officially announced Monday.
For Beckett, it was all good. He wanted to stay, the Sox wanted to keep him and if the length of the contract fell short by one year of the five-year deal signed by free agent John Lackey this past...

| | There was no easing in, no dipping a toe in the water. The newcomers to the Yankees- Red Sox rivalry all dove right in, and one day in, already have some history.
"It was nice to hit a home run," Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson said, "but all anyone is going to remember is that I didn't come through at the end of the game."

| | The day after his surprise stint throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in the Red Sox’ season opener against the Yankees on Sunday night, Pedro Martinez still was glowing.
When the Red Sox called, “right away I got turned on by it,” he said yesterday. “I guess they wanted to give a surprise gift to the fans and to the Yankees, and they felt I would be one...

| | The fact of the matter is that by waiting to announced the deal until today - coincidentally, a day after the season started - the extension is not included in the luxury tax calculation for 2010. It won’t be counted until next year - after several of the club’s existing contracts (notably, Mike Lowell, David Ortiz and Jason Varitek) expire.
