Game 75: Avast! Ye Scurvy Dogs!

The Red Sox dropped their third straight game, 3-1 to the Pirates last night. The struggles against a supposedly weak National League continue today and tomorrow, then Tuesday in Philadelphia, and then into the holiday weekend in Houston. Hopefully the struggles end today.

Games 73 and 74: After The Fire....

After the ferocious 14-5 drubbing, Boston dropped a pair of decisions to the Fathers, 5-4 on Tuesday and a rain shortened 5-1 last night. The Red Sox are off today, but they continue interleague merriment in the Steel City tomorrow.

Game 72: Unleash The Hounds!

Last night in Boston, the Red Sox greeted their guests, the visiting Friars, with a quite rude 10 run seventh, busting open a 3-3 tie and pushing their way to a 14-5 win.

Games 69-71: A Pyrrhic Weekend Song

Over the weekend, the Red Sox took two of three from the Brew Crew, a pair of pastings, 10-4 and 12-3, sandwiched around a 4-2 loss in the middle. However, the victories were not without cost, as we start the new week without CC Music Factory and Cowboy Clay, both of whom are in the MASH unit with hopefully short term injuries.

Game 68: Pyrrhic Victories

The Red Sox defeated Tampa Bay and the Naughty Fish yesterday, 4-2, albeit with both Cowboy Clay and Farmer Jed removed with hopefully mild injuries. The Red Sox return to open the Interleague Bonanza today with Prince Fielder and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Game 67: Beckett's Back (And There's Gonna Be Trouble...)

Josh Beckett took the ball after yesterday's shutout and blanked the Naughty Fish himself, tossing a one hit wonder at Tampa in a 3-0 win last night. The two teams play again today at the Juice Box, Cowboy Clay facing off against David Price.

***

Congratulations to the Bruins for bringing home the Stanley Cup last night, 4-0. Let's hope that's the first of two Boston titles this year.

Game 66: Shields Up

Big Game James Shields shut the door on the Red Sox, chucking a 4-0 whitewash to end Boston's winning streak in Tampa last night.
