Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Boston Red Sox had no problems with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday as they cruised to a 5-0 victory.  Matsuzaka pitched 6.2 innings and only allowed four hits.  It would have been nice to see him cut down on the walks as he did have four of them on the game.

Kevin Youkilis led the Red Sox at the plate 3-3 with two RBI.  Coco Crisp and J.D. Drew also contributed with one RBI each.

I expect the Red Sox to come out again tomrrow and beat the Tigers who are just out of it right now.

The Boston Red Sox just don’t have an answer to the Toronto Blue Jays.  On Saturday, the Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 10-2 and the Blue Jays have no won six straight games against the Red Sox.

Every pitcher for the Red Sox gave up atleast one earned run besides Julian Tavarez.  Starting pitcher Taylor Buchholz have up three earned runs in five innings, Kyle Snyder allowed two earned runs in a third of an inning, and Bryan Corey allowed four earned runs in a third of an inning.  It was definately a big letdown by the pitching staff today.

Manny Ramirez and Sean Casey each had an RBI at the plate, but wasn’t even close to being enough.

The Boston Red Sox had a lack of offense on Friday night as they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3.  The Red Sox only scoring came off the bat of J.D. Drew when he hits a three run homer in the seventh inning.  Other then that, the Red Sox sucked on Friday!

Tim Wakefield pitching good until the sixth inning when Matt Stairs hit a homerun.  Wakefield then walked Alex Rios, struckout Vernon Wells, and walked Frank Thomas before Lyle Overbay hit a loop single that scored Rios.   Aaron Hill followed with a drive to deep center that Jacob Ellsbury tracked down but dropped as he collided with the outfield wall. Thomas came home as Hill was credited with an RBI single.

The Blue Jays tacked on some more insurance runs in the seventh and eight innings, but not like it mattered with the way the Red Sox hitters were hitting.  They didn’t have a shot at coming back in the game.  The Red Sox will try to get back on the winning ways on Saturday as they play the Blue Jays once again.
