Tonight’s game three of the Sox-Tigers series has been called because of rain. It will be made up tomorrow as part of a day-night doubleheader.
The pitching matchups remain the same:
Game 1, 12:35 p.m.: Julian Tavarez (1-4, 6.40 ERA) vs. Mike Maroth (3-0, 4.69)
Game 2: 7:05 p.m.: Curt Schilling (4-1, 3.63) vs. Chad Durbin (3-1, 5.08)

If tonight was any indication, a 7-2 win by Detroit, the Tigers are not the Orioles. They are not only talented, but they have a professional way about them.
From my discussion with Jim Leyland on Monday night in the dugout, and after another Q&A I had with Sean Casey this morning, the Tigers care deeply about [...]
I just sat down with Tigers manager Jim Leyland for about 30 minutes, alone, prior to tonight’s Red Sox-Tigers game at Fenway Park.
He was great. He admitted he almost came to Boston in 1997, when the Sox later hired Jimy Williams. In fact, he said, his wife was very upset with his choice of Florida [...]
Is this the beginning of something special?
The Red Sox come-from-behind win, 6-5, over the Orioles this late afternoon really felt that way.
I’d like to know your thoughts, observations and comments about the win, which put the Red Sox, coupled with the Brewers loss to the Mets, alone with baseball’s best record at 25-11.
A late bloomer, Curt Schilling is 159-87 since turning 30. He is 4-1 through seven starts and off to a very good season, even by his standards.
Schilling won only 52 games in his 20s. To put that in perspective, Roger Clemens won 153 games in his 20s.
It says here Curt Schilling is a Hall of Fame pitcher, though 35 wins between this year and next, would probably seal the deal.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it ad infinitim: Schilling is reason No. 1 the Red Sox were the team they were in 2004, and I’m not just referring to the [...]
Curt Schilling is having a great season, 4-1 with six quality starts since his poor opener. He really is, which should be the story. But for the second time in two weeks, it isn’t.
Schilling’s commented on WEEI’s Dennis & Callahan show yesterday about Barry Bonds. It wasn’t good. He was right, but he turned Bonds into [...]
OK, so the Red Sox have the best record in the American League and appear to be on course for the year many people, including the experts, expected.
I had asked for your concerns — not to be confused with whines — about this team and now we’re going to address them.

Here are a few of the early responses to Roger Clemens going to the Yankees for what is pro-rated amount of $28 million. When all is said and done the Yankees will pay Roger about $18.5 million. Add in about $7.4 million for the luxury tax bill (I’ll have more on this later) to be [...]
I have a column in Monday’s Eagle-Tribune Publishing sports sections on Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees to the richest one-year deal ever for a pitcher … about $24 million.
The Yankees had to make this move for two reasons:
They couldn’t chance the Red Sox opening up their secret vault again and all but clinching the [...]
