St. Louis Man Arrested After Threatening Boston On Twitter

Where Does David Ortiz Rank Among The Best World Series Hitters Ever?
Over the last five games, David Ortiz has hit .733/.750/1.267. This would be a crazy line for any stretch of the season, much less the fucking World Series, and it's brought his career line in the Fall Classic up to .465/.556/.814, which is good enough—the best of any hitter with at least 50 plate a...

David Ross was called out on a questionable-on-closer-inspection call at the plate. But all it meant was the difference between a 4-1 Boston win and 3-1 win. Which is to ...
Yadier Molina Involved In Another Close Play At The Plate
David Ross was called out on this play and maybe he was. Ross didn't argue the call. It's also possible that he eluded Yadier Molina's glove and snuck his hand in and touched the plate before running into the glove. What is indisputable is that Molina has once again found himself the beneficiary of ...

A Kick In The Ass From David Ortiz Is All The Red Sox Needed
Heading into three straight nights in a National League park, John Farrell said he'd name his first baseman before each game.

Beards Caressed In Sensuous Slow-Motion
Jonny Gomes earned a facial hair-fondling on account of his home run last night that proved to be the game-winner. And, really, who on the Red Sox is more befitting of the beard than Gomes? He was likely born bearded. ...

Keith Olbermann On Why No One Watches Baseball Anymore
Wednesday's Game 1 drew 14.4 million viewers. That's slightly up from last year's Game 1, but 2012 was the least-watched Fall Classic of all time.
