Colon, a 35-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic, came to the White Sox a few months after the playoff loss, signing a one-year deal worth $1 million. He spent a smidgen of 2008 with the Boston Red Sox, appearing in seven games and finishing 4-2 with a 3.92 earned run average, then had surgery to repair bone chips in his pitching elbow.

Mike Lowell hit a two-run homer and J.D. Drew launched a three-run shot for the Red Sox, |

The Yankees, however, were not able to duplicate the 4-1 defeat of the Boston Red Sox in the first game of the old Yankee Stadium in 1923. The team hopes to copy the feat of that year's Bronx Bombers, though, and win a World Series in the first year of a new ballpark. "It's a day that I'll remember -- to be a part of history -- the c |

| Oakland, CA (MySportsbook) - The Boston Red Sox placed pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with arm fatigue. Matsuzaka, who started Tuesday's 6-5, 12-inning loss to the Athletics, pitched just one frame, allowing five hits and five runs on 43 pitches. He will be evaluated by team staff on Friday before deciding on a proper course of rehab. Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who will start Wednesday, is the early choice to replace Dice-K for his next scheduled start on Saturday. Justin |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett has been suspended six games and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions in this past Sunday's game against the Angels.

Abreu had just called time out moments before Beckett went into his delivery and the pitch sailed up and in, going all the way to the backstop. Both benches |
