By Evan Brunell I hate Scott Kazmir at Fenway. He scares the bejesus out of me, and he’s been stupendous since becoming an Angel. He is totally unfazed by Fenway Park and loves shutting Boston down in big situations. It’s going to be a tough, near impossible task for Boston to get past Kazmir into the Angels bul...

By Jere(noreply@blogger.com) Another new Red Sox alert: Joey Gathright. At one point on 09/09/09, the Red Sox, 9 games out, and the Orioles had 9 hits apiece. Youk.
