(Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images) Jon Lester lost his 4th straight, as the Orioles win the 4-game series with the 6-3 victory over the Sox. Things were going great for the first 2 1/2, and by great, I mean it was tied 0-0. Chris Davis hit a 2-run homer off... Continue reading
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

@nickcafardo - Boston Globe There it is, folks. Middlebrooks in, Iglesias out. This doesn't necessarily mean Jose will be sent back down to Pawtucket, he will likely stick around to platoon. Ciriaco will likely be the odd man out. In his 5 game with Pawtucket, Will Middlebrooks went 5-for-17, with... Continue reading

We touched on it yesterday when the story was fresh, that no Red Sox players were linked to the Biogenesis scandal in Florida. Today, John Farrell said he is 'confident' that no one on the roster is linked the situation. “Confident, yes,” manager John Farrell said. “I know there’s been... Continue reading

That's fancy... Continue reading

(AP Photo/Winslow Townson) Wowzas! The Sox put together some rally in the ninth and scored 4 times to take the final game of the series, 6-5. The Sox were down 2 right out of the gate and they just couldn't get anything going until late. Well, Daniel Nava drove in... Continue reading
