The Indians Make Joe Torre Sad
Clearly, Joe Torre did a terrible job managing tonight, and deserves to be fired. (Totally!) But that's tomorrow's news: Tonight, a congratulations to the Indians, an awfully exciting team that's gonna be a joy to watch against the Red Sox, starting this weekend. We can't wait....

Is This The Last Night For The Yankees We've Come To Know?
Fascinating proposition from Peter Abraham at the LoHud Yankees blog today: Have Bernie Williams throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium tonight.

Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...

The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over.

Raise Your Hands If You're the Boom King
One night, two games, and two walk off hits. Frankly I think we deserved this, these playoff games are longer than Drew's Jambaroo. Manny Ramirez answered my prayers (not for a Red Sox win, just for the sweet release of sleep) and ended the long night with a thrilling walk-off homer to break the 3-3...
