It was 7 when the losing streak started ... however, the streak isn't over yet, so anything can happen.

Prince Fielder will miss the rest of the season due to a neck surgery.

WOW!!

He is going for a second opinion first, but looks that way.

Josh Beckett throws his first career no hitter, at Philadelphia

The Red Sox are really struggling against the Braves & looks like they'll lose their 11th straight game.

Or maybe not,Red Sox tied 6-6 with the Braves thanks to Dustin Petroia 2 run single & David Ortiz home run.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Looks like the Red Sox may break their 10 game losing streak after all,ahead 8-6 against the Braves now.

Stanton leads the Majors in HRs and RBIs. AND was seen at the Heat game with the jackass owner...could the be a mending of fences. I HIGHLY doubt out, but I will stay optimistic.

Nice hearing Vin Scully tonight after reading he had to miss 2 games(including Beckett no hitter) with bronchitis.

Red Sox sign SS Stephen Drew for the remainder of the 2014 season.

I'm wondering if they can trade him.

Why? Depth is always good. We can't rely all year on guys like Herrera, Holt, and Cecchini, can we??

Cespedes...WOW!

I'd like Bogaerts to be shortstop for the rest of the year and the next 10.

I like Brock Holt, to me his bat is better than Drew's.

Nice that the Pirates took three out of four from the Dodgers.

Reds did the same to the Diamondbacks

Holt is a useful bench player. He looks like a keeper. His minor-league on-base percentage (.372) is impressive. But he also has flaws that limit him to a utility role. He can't play shortstop defensively, his arm is good but not more than average for a third baseman, and he has little pop in his bat, with 15 homers in 2,070 minor-league plate appearances and one -- which came last night -- in 236 PAs in the big leagues.

Don't get Ciriaco'd by his hot streak. At 26 years old, he's a role player, and one who deserves a role on this team. Just not a starting one.

If anything, Red Sox fans should be pleased how it's all lining up. Drew is an excellent defensive shortstop who hammers righthanded pitching (.876 OPS last year), something they desperately need. The left side of the infield is aligned the way it was last October, with their best defensive shortstop actually playing shortstop.

And Drew's arrival actually benefits Holt, since Drew's arrival gives them two capable shortstops on the roster, meaning the former Pirate won't be exposed at that position. If anything, Jonathan Herrera is the one who could be most affected by Drew's arrival.

I think the Sox have Cecchini pegged as their third baseman of the futute. Also, I agree with Cosmo, Brock Holt will be a very good utility player but not much more. That said, ride out his hot bat now (kind of like Daniel Nava last year).

When Victorino, Napoli, Middlebrooks and Carp are all healthy, Farrell will have an interesting dilemma with his 14 positional players. Holt, Carp, Nava, Bradley, Sizemore, Drew, Herrera and Middlebrooks can't all be on the roster.

NO, your NOT getting ANOTHER 1st round pick from the Tigers, you already stole one.

Whats going on with Drew, you guys don't want him suddenly ?
He had people waiting to sign him, but the Sox signed him before the bidding could begin ...

Btw, it was reported that the Tigers were Not one of them.
