It was wild, frustrating night for the Sox last night in Oakland, fortunately few Boston fans saw the extra innings loss due to the 9pm ET start. In case you were one of the lucky ones (aka asleep before 12:30am), the Globe’s Amalie Benjamin breaks down what happened. Fortunately, the Sox are getting some key [...]
Despite their jump into second place in the three-headed AL East playoff race, this past weekend was traumatic for Red Sox fans. First, Dustin Pedroia went down with an ankle injury after fouling a ball off his foot. He was seen in a walking boot and on crutches after the game, and is expected to [...]
Regardless of the outcome, the next time Ryan Westmoreland steps into the batter’s box will be a vctory. The Sox prospect underwent brain surgey in March to remove a cavernous malformation–basically, unwanted matter attached to his brain stem. Even more basically: very, very bad news. But yesterday, Westmoreland spoke to the media about his on-going [...]

In many ways, sports are utterly unpredictable. With the combination of injuries, referees, momentum, crowd influence, field conditions and weather, it’s a wonder that anyone would be so bold as to predict what will happen.
