Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 8/19
All season long, the Red Sox have really been able to count on one pitcher, Jon Lester. While Josh Beckett may be the “ace” of the staff and Daisuke Matsuzaka has 14 wins, Lester has been the stopper for Terrry Francona’s ballclub. Whenever the Red Sox have needed to end a losing streak, time and time again Lester has been there to do the job.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 8/13
Jon Lester looks for win number 11 tonight at the Fens. After last night’s debacle win, the Boston Red Sox will need a great outing from Jon Lester to keep the bullpen from being overused. Even though he was roughed up a little bit in his last outing, Lester has been the stopper for the Red Sox all season. He is 3-1 with a 2.54 ERA in his 4 post All-Star break starts and the Red ...

All season long, the Boston Red Sox have been able to count on Jon Lester. When they needed him to go at least 7 innings last night, he did just that. He even did one better for Terry Francona, he threw 7 1/3 shutout innings before the most productive lineup in the American League broke through for a run against him.

Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 8/9
It was a tough night last night for the Boston Red Sox as hits were at a premium for them as they were shutdown by Mark Buehrle for 7 innings. Buehrle had been struggling in 2008 but last night he looked like the second coming of Cy Young. He kept the Red Sox hitters off balance mixing in all of his pitches giving up just 4 hits. Personally, I didn’t think Lester had his best stuff ...

Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 8/3
Has anyone else noticed how much more relaxed the Boston Red Sox look right now? They actually look like they are enjoying playing the game again as they don’t have to deal with the antics of one Manny Ramirez (I promise I’ll/we’ll stop talking about him eventually). The night saw two of the components of the deal on Thursday hit home runs as Jason Bay hit a 3-run jack ...

Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 8/2
For once Jon Lester is not called upon by the Boston Red Sox to try and end a losing streak rather this time he’s asked to just go out and pitch at least 7-8 innings tonight since the bullpen got a little extra work in last night. Tall order, perhaps, yes, no, maybe. Lester has been the ace of the staff this season and has not lost since a loss on May 25th. He has faced the ...

Sox start on time; Sweeney on first
Jon Lester has tossed the first two pitches (on an 0-1 count, the A's leadoff hitter Ryan Sweeney reached on an infield hit down the middle) and the Sox have started the second of this three-game series on time just after 7:05 p.m. As far as the weather goes, it looks like we are out of the woods and in the clear (as opposed "out of the clear" in the last post) for the time being, although ...
