CC meets with Mr. October Reggie Jackson and it looks like it did the trick as it convinced him to take the money. It’s not clear if CC was just conducting business by meeting with all these other teams or if he was serious about taking less money. Never the less, by showing interest in [...]

As a Rays fan who experienced the Cowbell in the first World Series game, I’ll be the first to say how annoying the sounds of those Bells can be. In fact, there was a woman in front of me who was shaking those Bells all night long. She was getting some dirty looks from even [...]

N&O : “After nine innings, the score was tied 3-3. Boston scored twice in the top of the 10th and seemed on the way to a long overdue championship.

The remarkable comeback of the Boston Red Sox to prolong the ALCS is payback. I’ll bring you back to 22 years ago (has it been that long?) . The Red Sox had the champagne on ice in 1986. This comeback the Red Sox pulled off does not have the one inning drama and the Mookie [...]

Instead of prolonging the inevitable, The Mets cut Bait with manager Willie Randolph, pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto.

What is going on in South Florida? They are performing the magic again with their third roster makeover . I was wrong about HRam: The loss of protection in the lieneup with Miguel Cabrera now in the American League.
