WORLD SERIES (PREVIEW) OR BUST
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
At the outset of the 2011 season, most prognosticators (including Las Vegas oddsmakers) tabbed the Phillies and Red Sox as World Series favorites (myself included). Now halfway through the season, the timing could not be better for a preview of what that World Series might look like – assuming no changes are made to either roster over the remaining 3-1/2 months of the regular season. Phillies...

So Close, but Yet So Far
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Derek Jeter sits six hits from 3,000, however, he also resides on the Yankees' 14-day DL. His team is just .5 games behind Boston in the AL East, however, if the Red Sox' recent clobbering of the Bombers is any indication, New York really needs to step it up. That's going to be hard considering that arguably their best pitcher and definitely their most pleasant surprise this year, Bartolo Col...

How To Fix a Flawed Team
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
This entry is an open letter to Yankees GM Brian Cashman. It is in his and the Yankees best interest to carry this out word for word. It would all but guarantee the 28th World Series Title for the most successful franchise in sports. Mr. Cashman: It is June 2nd and your team just completed a 3 game sweep of the offensively inept Oakland A’s. You now stand 4 and 2 on this critical ...

Each and every year with publications, there are certain issues that people look forward too. Men who read Sports Illustrated for example, can tell you one of their favorite issues is the “Swimsuit” issue. Your wife will leave you a note to make dinner as she has to stop after work to pick up the People Magazine “Most Beautiful People” issue. ESPN the Magazine, unv...

When is the moment?
Posted on 31 May 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
For every city and every team that has ever won a championship there is always one moment after the season is done where the players and fans can look back at with 20/20 hindsight and say “That's it! That's the moment we went from contenders to champions.” A brief look back at some local moments. September 30, 2001: Some 6th round draft pick from Michigan was starting his first NFL...

Red Sox Are On The Move
Posted on 23 May 2011 by Brian Joyce.
The 2-10 start is officially in the rear view mirror. Boston just finished a 5-1 homestand. Now they hit the road and start up a three game series along the shores of Lake Erie starting tonight and will end on Wednesday afternoon. Remember the last time Boston played in Cleveland? They got swept in a three game series ( were outscored 12-5) and left the city along the lake at 0-6. The lasting...

Building Momentum at Home
Posted on 22 May 2011 by Shaun Balmer.
Winners in 11 of their last 15 games, 5 series in a row without a losing series, a 5-2 home stand, and a TON of momentum. That's everything the White Sox have been able to accomplish over the past two and a half weeks of the season. The Sox now embark on a tough 10-game road trip to Texas, Toronto, and Boston. In order for the Sox to continue to build momentum they will need to keep pitching ...

Finally
Posted on 16 May 2011 by Brian Joyce.
With a three game sweep of the New York Yankees, the Red Sox have finally made it to the .500 mark. Raise your hand if you thought the Red Sox wouldn't reach the .500 mark until May 15th? I don't see any hands raised. The last time it took a Red Sox team this long to reach the .500 mark, was back in 1996 when it took 128 games to reach that feat. Oh by the way, that was Roger Clemens last sea...

Poor Attendance, Poor Teams or Poor Planning?
Posted on 14 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In case no one noticed, Major League Baseball fans have been staying away from the ballpark in droves. Well, to clarify, fans have been avoiding certain ballparks while packing into record sellouts in other venues. Is it the economy? Perhaps it is the exorbitant cost of the average ticket plus parking plus concessions? Family night at the ballpark used to be a fun and affordable experience. The...

New Label, Same Great Taste: Early Season Review of Your 2011 Tampa Bay Rays
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Nick Blanchard.
Since coming back from a left oblique strain that landed him on the DL, Longoria has hit .310/.429/.655 in 9 May games. Tampa Bay has gone 7-2 since his return. 2011 has been a story of resiliency for the Tampa Bay Rays thus far. They opened the season losing 6 straight games and dropping their first three series (BAL, LAA, CHW). To compound the defeats, they also lost their star third baseman...

Somebody stop me!! That’s from the Mask. The one that I wore tonight.
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Angels had to be feeling confident after taking 2 of 3 from the AL Central leading Cleveland Indians. Next up was another AL Central foe, the last place Chicago White Sox. The White Sox, who will eventually win the Central, came in to Anaheim with the worst record in baseball at 13-23. The Halos had already swept 3 from the Sox less than a month ago, so this should be a walk in the park. It was...
