It's the End of the Regular Season

The end of the Boston Red Sox 2013 season has come to an end. But the end of this year is different from the end of last season. Most of the players from last season would be golfing in Florida by now. This season, Red Sox players are gearing up for playoff baseball and the chance to win the World Series, something they have not done since 2007. It would have been nice to see the Red Sox reach the 100 win mark which is a difficult to reach. Instead, the Red Sox fell just short with 97 wins. They probably could have reached the 100 win mark if they did not rest their players at the end of the season.

The season comes to an end

Todays game in Baltimore which was the final game of the regular season. Boston scored early but let the Orioles come back to edge them 6-5 in the season finale. The Red Sox got off to an early start when they scored five runs in the first four innings. But after the fourth inning, the Red Sox bats went quiet and the Orioles bats came alive. Ruby De La Rosa came in relief and surrendered a few runs which led to the Orioles offensive explosion. While it would have been nice for the Red Sox to win their last game of the season, losing this game is not the end of the world or the end of the season. Unlike last year, the Red Sox will be playing playoff baseball for the first time since 2009.

Sox huge win over the O's

On Friday night, the Red Sox bats came to life at Camden Yards. The Red Sox collected a whopping 16 hits. Using the 16 hits that the team collected, they were able to produce 12 runs. Daniel Nava, David Ortiz and rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. helped contribute to the scoring by all hitting three homeruns. These three players combined to drive in 7 of the Red Sox 12 runs Friday nights. But everyone knows that pitching and defense is what wins games. Clay Bucholtz turned in another stellar performance on the mound. Bucholtz has been pitched great since returned from the DL and tonight he was able to earn his 12th victory of the season.
