Curt Schilling On His Bonus Clause, And Others'
Curt Schilling, on his immaculately typed blog this week, blasted the new Baseball Writers Association rule that says anyone who has an incentive in their contract to win an MVP or Cy Young award will be ineligible.

A Trade That's Just Crazy Enough To Work!
The baseball winter meetings start next week, and that means countless unsubstantiated guesswork and fantasy trade scenarios. That's the fun of it, really; it will distract you from the horror that comes when your team gives $12 million for four years to Kyle Lohse....
Red Sox Wonder Where All That Free Yen Went
When the Red Sox bid that ridiculous amount just for the right to offer Daisuke Matsuzaka a contract, one of the ancillary benefits was supposed to be all the Japanese endorsements he would bring in. (And take away from the Yankees.) But it looks like that hasn't happened at all....

Tickets Prices At Fenway Have Increased Somewhat

Here We Go Again With The Damned Red Sox World Series Ball

Dice-K Spreads The Joy
Because it's tradition around these parts, here's your obligatory Vaguely Homoerotic And Uncomfortable Clubhouse Celebration Picture. It's Daisuke Matsuzaka, spreading his champagne love over an unnamed recipient. We're hoping it's Schilling....
Papelbon's Glove Has Yet To Come Down
• Feel It Again. And howzabout a little love for Terry Francona. I've happily lobbed hot coals at the guy's nuts for four seasons now, but I appreciate everything he's done to steer the ship and stick to the game plan. He's 8-0 in managing World Series games, has very likely seen DeMarlo Hale withou...
The Red Sox Could Start Getting Used To This
The World Series was mostly lacking drama this year, but by now, we should be awfully used to that. Since the outstanding 2002 World Series, we've had one series go six games, one go five and three sweeps. Not that Red Sox fans care anyway....
Your World Series Champion Boston Red Sox

They have won their second World Series in four years, and their seventh overall. (That actually puts them fourth all time, behind the Yankees, Cardina...

The World Series has finally come to the hallowed grounds of Coors Field and Denver is welcoming the Red Sox with balmy 36 degree weather.

Rockies Might Have Just Missed Their Chance To Steal One
In the first game of the World Series, the Rockies looked tentative, scared, confused and overmatched. They corrected almost all those problems last night in Game 2 ... and they still lost. This doesn't look good....
