Playoffs?

Never Blame da Wang

Could you ask for anything more? We (Red Sox fans) had the best season possible last year, and this year has proven to be about as good as they come. There were no 17 strike out games from Pedro, or remarkable bench clearing brawls that supposedly turned the season around. This year was more about defending a title and looking back all things considered they did it pretty well. The next three

The End is Near

This is the playoffs right now,It's amazing. It's here already before October comes."-- Johnny DamonSox Drop One Game Behind with Four to PlayWe'll try to wipe this one away as quickly as possible. I only threw 79 pitches, so I feel like I'll be healthy for the Yankees."-- Bronson Arroyo

Double Double

I've never been involved in a pennant race, but I think it increases the pressure on them. It's tough to win two games in one day. We're feeling good and we're ready to take on the Red Sox."--Shea Hillenbrand

Foulke is a Little Bitch

As if you needed any more reasons to hate Keith Foulke...You guys wonder why sometimes I get real short and become a smartass? You know what? I am so sick and tired of talking about the same (stuff) every day. It's not even funny.It's one of the reasons that for next year I am relocating. I'm moving out of the city so I can be with myself a little more."When everything is peachy and going well,

Manny Gets His Turn as Hero

The Game Winning Hit Hats Off to Ramirez The scene: The tenth inning, game tied at two, home team up, two runners on, Ortiz up, Ramirez on deck. You intentionally walk the one time Twins cast off, and pitch to the perennial all star Manny Ramirez. That was weird enough. Then factor in the A's only playing two outfielders with five infielders. Manny slumping, bases loaded, Keiichi Yabu's freshly

Yankees Proud of Sweeping the Devil Dogs

It's very satisfying, and even more satisfying coming back in a place that we certainly haven't been comfortable playing all year. It tells you a lot about the players you have and the team you have."-- Joe Torre

Jay Payton Returns to Fenway

With Damon on the sideline, and Millar playing left field, there could be no worse time for Kapler to have a season ending injury than right now. It is easy to not like Payton, he signed on as a part time player and immediately was uncomfortable with his part time roll, but it sure would be nice to have him back. Payton's departure made way for Bradford's arrival who has been a highly serviceable

Lost Oppertunity

Thursday night the Yankees lost to the Devil Rays... again... FOR THE ELEVENTH TIME THIS SEASON! If the Sox bats produced their requisite seven runs they would have entered the three game series with the Yankees holding a five game lead.In the past, we always knew we had to make up ground, Now we need to extend our ground. Hopefully, that starts tomorrow night."-- Johnny Damon
