Behold The Wonder That Is Tim Wakefield
The man you see in this picture, about to knuckle that wildly bouncing arrow into the leg of the man standing next to him, is Tim Wakefield. He has been with the Red Sox since 1995 and has ridden all the postseason waves that have surrounded the team during that time. And tonight, he has to save th...

The Red Sox Are Closer To The Precipice Than It Seems
As much as Red Sox fans were talking about Indians closer Joe Borowski, how he was obviously going to blow any lead handed to him, he is still a Major League Baseball pitcher. Pretty much every pitcher in baseball is going to throw more innings in which he gives up no runs, than he will in which he ...

Who's Scared Of Joe Borowski? The Red Sox, It Seems
The Red Sox and their fans might have been licking their proverbial chops at the notion of seeing Joe Borowski trying to finish up a close game ... but, then again, we suspect Indians fans weren't exactly quaking in their knickers at having to face J.D. Drew in the ninth either. The Indians have a ...

Quincy Carter Hits Bottom Again
Once again our Arena League II fantasy team has been thrown into disarray with the news that Quincy Carter has been arrested on drug-related charges.

Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You
We are posting this just to prove to you that we actually stay up and watch all these games. We know it's a weekend. Skeets will be back with you tomorrow. But man: We are so glad we aren't one of those Red Sox fans who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. for that 11th inning. Heavens....
My Socks Are Bloody With Anticipation
I'm with Shanoff on this one: the Red Sox may have beat the snot out of C.C. and the Indians Friday, but, regardless of that outcome, the winner of Game 2 tonight — 8:21 pm EDT, FOX — will win this series. Well, that, and the difficult task of trying to beat God in the World Series....
The Red Sox Look Like They've Been Here Before
So much for that Game 1 pitching duel we were promised. Josh Beckett threw six innings of four-hit ball to outpitch (and outbanjo) C.C. Sabathia as the Sox squashed the Indians 10-3. As Beckett rolled — even after giving up that early "wind-homer" to Hafner — Sabathia struggled from the get-go. The ...
