As I wrote back in October, it can be difficult for a player to shake a reputation.

The 25-yr old lefty, who to...

While this hottie couldn’t resist David Wright, Tim opted to pick up someone else with his first rounder. Well folks, now that 2009 is well underway, is there a better way to commence the New Year than getting that first league draft of 2009 under my belt? I’m not talking mock draft, but the...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Oct. 19 -- Sleep, precious sleep, had been hard to come by for the tormented Tampa Bay Rays. If it wasn't being stolen by 1 a.m. finishes, 2 a.m. flights or 5 a.m. arrivals on the other end of the East Coast, it was being destroyed by the demon that had been unleashed upon......

ALCS Game 1: Boston Red Sox 2, Tampa Bay Rays 0 That's one, bitches. Seriously, though: who else but Daisuke "Magic Man" Matsuzaka can flirt with the unbelievable, taking a no-hitter into the seventh, and do it with four walks? I know we've made our share of Houdini jokes about Lester in the past, h...

Final Score: Boston Red Sox 6, Minnesota Twins 5 I'll admit it: before the bottom of the eighth inning, I was going to write a post about how, all things considered, it was a better thing than not that Jon Lester matched Matsuzaka's total from last night by pitching seven and a third innings. Sure, ...

A 16-11 swing has left the Sox in second place to start July, behind the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Today comes the hated, the vaunted meek New York Yankees. Let’s kick butt and take names! Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To the Fire Branders: who on this table do y...
