Jon Lester and the Red Sox go for
the sweep in the Bronx this afternoon... check in

Key Matchup Thursday afternoon’s pitching matchup between
Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester and New York
Yankees starting pitcher Mike Mussina should be interesting. On the year, Lester is 12-5 with 116 strikeouts and a 3.49 ERA. ...
Remember when Clay Bucholdz ( left ) threw
a no-hitter in his second career start? Ya, me
neither. The one-time phenom was sent down to Double A Portland after a terribly disappointing one-month stint in the big leagues. The demotion of the 24-year ...
BY JOE McDONALD Journal Sports Writer BALTIMORE --
Josh Beckett, complaining of "tingling" in his right arm
because he said he slept on it wrong, will have his next scheduled start pushed back to next Tuesday. "We want to be cautious and do ...
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.
Jason Bay had two homers and Jon Lester
pitched 7 more solid innings as the Sox beat
the O's 6-3 last night.
A rare but welcome moment for Jason Varitek:

the second inning. A rare but welcome moment for Jason Varitek: The slumping catcher slugs a home run lefthanded in the second inning. (joe giza/Reuters)
Jason Bay paced the Boston Red Sox offense
with 2 home runs and Jon Lester shutdown the
Baltimore Orioles for 7 innings as they went on to win 6-3 in front of 40,329 at Fenway Park Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The win tonight allows them to stay 4.5 games behind the Rays, who beat the Angels tonight. The lead for the Red Sox in the wild card is up to 1.5 games as the Minnesota Twins lost ...
Jon Lester goes in search of win number
12 tonight. When the Boston Red Sox arrived in
Baltimore last night, they found themselves 4.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the AL East. Their lead in the wild card is also down to a 1/2 game over the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, who are tied for first in the AL Central. The New York Yankees are 5 games out. This ...

There is one person with the Red Sox

After a wild night on Tuesday night, Jon
Lester settled things down for the Boston Red Sox
on Wednesday night as he shut down the powerful Texas Rangers lineup. Tonight, Daisuke “Houdini” Matsuzaka looks to do the same thing that his left-handed pitching friend did.
Luis Mendoza is the latest young starter to
falter — again — as Boston rolls to another
victory.
Pauley sent back to Pawtucket; Bailey called up
07:53 AM EDT on Thursday, August 14, 2008 By
STEVEN KRASNER Journal Sports Writer BOSTON -- Pitcher David Pauley and utilityman Jeff Bailey traded places on the Red Sox roster after last night’s game. ...
The Sox have three potential aces, but Jon
Lester in my pick for MVP of the staff...
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.

With Tim Wakefield going on the DL and
Clay Buchholz becoming completely useless... the Red Sox have
some decisions to make... starting with picking a Tuesday's starter. Get the scoop on Wake and who the Tuesday call-up will be at The Bottom Line.
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 ...
The White Sox host the Red Sox tonight
as they start a four game set that could
be a playoff preview... Jon Lester has been dominant as of late... Mark Buehrle has not... but that's just Game 1... get the preview at The Bottom Line blog!
Major League Baseball announced this afternoon that Boston
Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester has been named the
American League Pitcher of the Month for July.
On May 13, my friend asked me if
I wanted to go to a game at Fenway
Park the following day. I said sure – I hadn’t been to a game in awhile and I was only on the hook for the face value of the ticket. By the sixth inning, it ...
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 ...
The bats of Jason Bay, Kevin Youkilis and
Jed Lowrie along with Jon Lester’s pitching helped lead
the Boston Red Sox to a 10-2 win over the Oakland A’s in front of 37,838 at Fenway Park. The win for the Red Sox keeps them three games back of the Rays who won tonight and 2 ahead of the Yankees who also won.
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 ...
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 ...
