Your American League Champion Boston Red Sox
No longer are the Red Sox the team overcoming decades of futility to emerge victorious. Instead, they are a increasingly dominant franchise going to the World Series for the second time in four years. It might not be the rapturous breakthough of 2004 ... and, of course, we're sure Red Sox fans woul...
The Team Wearing Red Should Win Tonight
Since this morning's revelation, Indians' pitcher Paul Byrd has defended his HGH purchases, asserting it was for a tumor on his pituitary gland. Oh sure, Byrdo, that's what all the veteran control pitchers say. Blame it on a tumor. Did Jon Lester blame it on a tumor? Hell no!...

In The Words Of Boston's Generation, "UP... YOURS!"
"J.D. Drew hit a grand slam." That line speaks such volumes of how off Fausto Carmona was last night, that it usually saves sports columnists 600 words and gets people home earlier to spend quality time with the family. J.D. Drew had been making beat writers work overtime all season, now he's finall...

At Least Two More Days Of Life In The ALCS
We find it telling that, the day after Josh Beckett once again saved the proverbial Red Sox hide, everyone was still talking about Manny Ramirez. It's amusing to watch reaction to Manny; people treat him like he's a normal human being rather than, you know, an alien. The trick is not to be mad that...
