Sports Sports General http://bostonredsoxreport.blogdrive.com/archive/8.html Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:43:48 GMT The Red Sox might have to look twice at the weather forecast for Wednesday, because it appears something isn't quite right: It is suppose to be sunny and pleasant all day. This, of course, has been a rarity at Fenway Park recently. The Sox have waited out three consecutive rain delays and have not started on time in four of the five games this homestand. During the series with the D-backs, the Sox have started an average 33 minutes behind schedule. That should change Wednesday for the rubber match between these two teams, as Boston looks to steal this series much like it did in Tuesday's...

But that hangover disappeared quickly once the eighth inning began on Tuesday. Jason Varitek singled to right field to drive in Mike Lowell from second base as the Red Sox climbed out of a three-run deficit with a four-run eighth to steal a 5-4 decision from the D-backs at Fenway Park. Varitek's timely RBI single was just his second hit in the past eight games. He recorded his first hit since June 11 against Baltimore on Monday, and followed it up with his first RBI on...

The Yankees' leadoff man, Johnny Damon, had returned to Fenway Park, and some of his former teammates clapped for him, acknowledging the good times. Derek Jeter argued with the umpire Mike Everitt after he was called out at second. A steady wind blew all night, knocking down deep drives by Jeter, Mirabelli and others. More Photos > Things are different now, and not just with Damon, who went hitless in four at-bats. It is a new season for Aaron Small, the pitcher who won all 10 decisions last summer to...

Florida's failure to get a stadium deal is helping Henry, now the owner of the Boston Red Sox, obtain one of baseball's best young pitchers. Only physicals stand in the way of a trade that would bring 2003 World Series MVP Josh Beckett and third baseman Mike Lowell to Boston for three prospects: shortstop Hanley Ramirez and right-handed pitchers Anibal Sanchez and Jesus Delgado. The preliminary agreement was confirmed Monday by a baseball official who did not want to be identified because the...

Manny Ramirez also homered twice and had three RBI for the Red Sox, who still lead the New York Yankees by a half-game after the Yanks edged the Baltimore Orioles 12-9. Ortiz now leads the AL with 46 home runs as the Red Sox try to fend off the charging Yankees. The teams meet in a three-game series to end the regular season September 30-October 2. Boston smacked 21...

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Gomes, a 6-7, 250lb forward played his college basketball at Providence College, where he averaged 18.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in 116 career games. As a senior, Gomes averaged 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while leading the Big East in scoring with 23.2 points per game in conference play. Gomes, the 50th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, finished his stellar college career as Providence’s all-time leading scorer...

But in the process of watching 42-year-old Steve Thomas attempt to weave together one last hurrah in blue and white, it was a kid 20 years his junior who caught the attention of the capacity crowd at Copps Coliseum, not to mention the Leaf brass. Identified as a candidate for the fourth line by Pat Quinn earlier this week, Ben Ondrus, 22, showed that the praise offered by the Maple Leafs coach was well placed. Playing on the fittingly named OPP Line with Nathan Perrott...

Both lost home games as top 25 teams to teams from the state of Florida who were also ranked in the top 25. The Tigers had the longer game as Miami (FL) downed Clemson 36-30 in triple overtime, the first overtime loss in Clemson history after five victories. It was the longest game in Clemson history in terms of overtime periods and in terms of time. The game took 4:10 to play, longer by 12... (more) http://bostonredsoxreport.blogdrive.com/comments?id=1
