Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox announced Friday that manager Terry Francona will not return to the team in 2012 two days after finishing the team's second straight season without a playoff appearance. The Red Sox led the Tampa Bay Rays by nine games for the final American League playoff spot in September before the club finished 7-20 in the last month to miss the postseason by a game. Francona leaves the Red Sox, his second managerial position, with a 744-552 record and two Wo

on Inge was so bad that he was sent to Triple-A for a stretch, but he could find some time at third with the versatile Wilson Betemit. EDGE: YANKEES PROGNOSIS Everything on paper suggests the Yankees should win this series easily. But, as the Boston Red Sox taught us this past month, these games aren't won on paper. How the Yankees were able to get to 97 wins this season with the starting staff they had is quite an achievement. But, we've heard it a million times. Good pitching beats good hittin
Grab your cowbells, it's playoff time Thu Sep 29 12:08:34 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Whoa. What a night for Major League Baseball. Unless, of course, you happen to follow the Boston Red Sox or Atlanta Braves, both of whom ripped the hearts from their fans on Wednesday by completing epic collapses, leaving both of them on the outside for a postseason that gets underway on Friday. The Red Sox collapse was just a stunning turn of events following an offseason that not only saw them land Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, but one that saw them draw comparisons fr
Rays, Cardinals soar in September to make playoffs Thu Sep 29 02:43:53 2011 EST
New York, NY (Sports Network) - It was a September to remember for all the right reasons for the Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals, and one to forget for the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. Who would have thought the final playoff berths would be decided not only on the last day of the regular season, but also in extra innings and in incredibly dramatic fashion? That was the case in both leagues. In fact, the Red Sox and Rays were one strike away from Boston going to the playoffs, but s

the regular season in a 3-1 win over the Angels. The AL West-champion Rangers (96-66) finished a game ahead of the AL Central- champion Detroit Tigers for the second-best mark. Texas will face the American League wild card winner - either the Boston Red Sox or Tampa Bay Rays - Friday at 5:07 p.m. (et). "It's a great feeling. We parted ways, of course I wanted to do well against them," Napoli said of his success against the Angels. "I was excited that I was dealt here. I couldn't have ended up in
Red Sox activate Buchholz, disable Youkilis Wed Sep 28 19:43:52 2011 EST
Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday that the club has activated pitcher Clay Buchholz from the 60-day disabled list and placed third baseman Kevin Youkilis on the 60-day DL. Buchholz was originally placed on the 15-day DL back on June 19 (retroactive to June 17) with a stress fracture in his lumbar spine. He was later transferred to the 60-day list on July 31. Before the setback, the 27-year-old right-hander was 6-3 with a 3.48 earned run average in 14 sta

the Tokyo Dome, marking the fourth season-opening trip to Japan for Major League Baseball. In 2000, the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs started the campaign in Tokyo. The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays followed four years later. The Boston Red Sox and Athletics played in 2008. "Major League Baseball is very pleased to give Japanese fans a chance to see the Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics, two franchises with great popularity in Japan," said Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig in
Red Sox turn to Lester in pressure-filled finale with Orioles Wed Sep 28 10:59:30 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - A big reason the Boston Red Sox are in the position they are in is because of the way Jon Lester has pitched of late. Tonight, they hope the left-hander can extend their season when they wrap up a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The Red Sox kept pace with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, as Ryan Lavarnway hit his first two career home runs and totaled four RBI and Boston held on for an 8-7 win. Marco Scutaro and Jacoby Ellsbury each hit a two-run h

a 13-6 triumph at Houston after spotting the last-place Astros an early five-run lead.

Now, the Cardinals are trying to become the first team to wipe out a lead of at least eight games in September, though they've got some competition. The Boston Red Sox have fallen apart just like the Braves, allowing Tampa Bay to pull even in the AL wild-card race going to the 162nd game.

``It's kind of fed us here the last few days, 120 years of baseball and this is one of those historic runs to tie,'' S
