I used to be one of the biggest baseball fans around. This year, things will change. I’m tired of the steroids issue tainting the game and obscuring my enjoyment of it. I’ve had enough of seeing guys like J.C. Romero, Rafael Betancourt, and Guillermo Mota get busted and come back like no...

David Ortiz misses Manny. Or Manny's bat, anyway. Sort of. He won't come right out and say it, because he's far too polite, but he's happy to hint about it obliquely.

David Ortiz admitted before Thursday night’s International League game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and Toledo Mud Hens that he’s “not used� to watching the Boston Red Sox on television. “When you’re out for that long, it’s a little crazy,� said Ortiz. “I’ve been out for six wee...
