A lot was at stake last night for the Red Sox. They had to avoid a sweep from the Texas Rangers, and Curt Schilling needed to prove himself after his unfortunate first outing against the Kansas City Royals. Prove himself he did. Despite some shaky moments from reliever Javier Lopez, Jonathan Papelbon came out and got the job done, helping the Red Sox defeat the Rangers 3 to 2. Even better, Big Papi hit two......

Believe it or not, its hot stove time, and that means time to start talking about the 2007 iteration of the Olde Towne Team. Ok, first off, let's get this straight... the Sox are paying the Japanese team the Seibu Lions upwards of 50 million dollars for the exclusive right to NEGOTIATE with Japanese fireballer and WBC MVP Daisuke Matsuzaka? So, assuming he gets Josh Beckett money (and, hopefully pitches better than Beckett), we......

Just about 21 years ago the Sox were gearing up for a match up with the Texas Rangers to play a rained out game from earlier in the season. Today the same scenario exists – the Sox play the Rangers at home in a rescheduled game due to a rain out earlier in the year. Today's video is better than the whole team wearing throwback jerseys – it’s both the Rangers and the Sox in......

Sunday the Red Sox saw the turnstiles click past 1 million so far this season. The pace is record setting for crowds at Fenway. This year capacity rests slightly above last years number, allowing for the fastest millionth fan to visit Fenway in years past. It was their 28th home bout, just after a walk-off Ortiz home-run to end their 27th. By some sketchy math attendance looks to be about 36,250 per game. Recently......

The first series of the season is in the books and the Red Sox are on their way to Baltimore with a 2-1 record after last night's 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. Of the last two games there were only a few bright spots to showcase, Jonathan Papelbon's performance being one, Josh Becket's being another. Monday's game was an all-around impressive display of offense - Mike Lowell's bat is slow...what? - and pitching. Thank......

A week ago while Bostonist was watching the Red Sox play the Texas Rangers a little window popped up on the computer - an Instant Message from our buddy, saying, "Holy crap, Manny's wearing Oakley Thump glasses in the outfield." "Excuse me?" said Bostonist. "Yeah dude, you know those Oakleys that have the built-in mp3 player? Manny's got those on!" Bostonist's pal replied. How did he know? Well, said friend is blessed to be......

Today the Red Sox will attend the traditional recognition ceremony at the Whitehouse for the World Champions. The players, owners, managers and president of the Sox will meet President G. W. Bush. He’s the first President since Woodrow Wilson that has seen the Red Sox win the World Series while sitting in office. Bush has some special connections with the Sox. Where the Curse befell the Sox after trading the Babe to the Yankee’s, Bush......
