The AP Sports Story Of The Year

Steroids' blemish on baseball has been picked as the Story of the Year by members of The Associated Press.

I sure hope that Manny Ramirez doesn't try to become pregnant again. The Dodgers need this guy on the field. He can change the outcome of a game with one swing, although I think his best days are behind him.

The Positive Names Are Trickling out Slowly

The New York Times reports David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were among the more than 100 major league players who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003.


David Ortiz said he was "suprised" by the results.


Red Sox fans talk about the news about David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez testing positive in 2003.


I think Ozzie Guillen sums up my feelings about the list itself.
"Can somebody in baseball, please, we're all begging people, get that stupid list out and move on?"

Baseball needs to release the names. Quit saying the list is under a Court seal. If it was, none of the names would have been leaked out! Just do the right thing and release all the names so baseball can move on from this black eye of an era.

David Ortiz Sits on the Bench for the Weekend

Big Papi has been a big letdown for the Boston Red Sox this season.

Ortiz is batting just .208 for the season without a home run in 144 at-bats.

Terry Francona has decided to sit Ortiz for the weekend series against The Mariners.

Big Papi has not had a glove ( he has always been a liability at first base), and now he has no bat. What does that leave Ortiz with? Mothing! He had better find his stroke soon, or Red Sox Nation will be calling for Red Sox GM Theo Epstein to let him walk after this season.

Red Sox Force Game 7 in ALCS by Topping Rays

There's going to be a seventh game to decide which American League team goes to the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Boston Red Sox beat Tampa Bay 4-2 to even the American League Championship Series at three games apiece.

I believe the Red Sox will win tonight. The pitching matchup tonight is awesome. Jon Lester facing Matt Garza. I think both starts again may leave to a pair of No Decisions, but the bullpens will decide this game. That favors Boston.

Watch Game Seven Of The American League Championship Series tonight on TBS.

Red Sox Comeback To Win Game Five

The Rays blew a seven-run lead in an 8-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox in Game 5 of the ALCS, cutting their lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

What an incredible game that was!
Don't count out the Red Sox. They've come back from a 3-1 and a 3-0 defecit before.

The best news for Tampa is at least they are heading home to play game six.

DH Or No DH?

As Baseball fans know, American League Baseball uses the Designated Hitter. The DH uses a tenth man, who bats in place of the pitcher, yet this tenth man does not take the field. Many great DH's today are David Ortiz (who plays first when the Red Sox are in the National League) and Jim Thome (who played first base in the National League.)

I Want to know: What do you think about the DH?

Me Personally, I hate the Designated Hitter. I Feel it cheapens baseball. When the pitcher bats, all nine players take turns at the plate and in the field. With the DH, there are ten players, and one of them gets to stay in the dugout for the whole game while the rest of his teammates take the field.

I like to see the strategy involved when the pitcher bats. With a runner on first base, the manager may tell his pitcher to bunt to move the runner into scoring position. The manager may also be lucky enough to have a good hitting pitcher(like Switch-Hitting Pitcher Carlos Zambrano for the Cubs or Micah Owings for the Diamondbacks), and he may tell the Pitcher "Go Ahead. Swing Away."

Again, the question is: What do you think about the DH?

Drop me a comment letting me know what you think.

Yanks unearth Sox jersey from new park

BOSTON -- Hours before the Yankees and Red Sox prepared to face off again at Fenway Park on Sunday, the rivalry was alive and well in the Bronx, where jackhammers rocked a concrete corridor at the future Yankee Stadium site in search of a prankster's hidden David Ortiz jersey.
For those who find such superstition credible and feared a Yankees curse, fear not. The Bombers yanked the Red Sox jersey out of the new ballpark's structure in a photo opportunity ceremony on Sunday afternoon, with construction workers removing the illicit article.

Yankees team president Randy Levine and chief operating officer Lonn Trost were present on Sunday at the site, as workers removed the jersey from two feet of concrete in a service corridor. The jersey, plucked from a two-by-three foot hole, was a home white Red Sox article bearing designated hitter Ortiz's name and number.

The New York Post reported that the culprit was Gino Castignoli, a 46-year-old Bronx resident and Red Sox fan. Castignoli told the newspaper that he buried the jersey at the construction site last summer while working at the stadium.

The Yankees originally denied the story after their records indicated that the jersey could not have been buried near the Yankees' future clubhouse, as an original report on Friday indicated. Two workers told a construction manager that they remembered Castignoli, and they led the supervisor to a service corridor near the site of the planned Legends Club restaurant -- behind home plate and toward the third-base side.

According to the newspaper, workers dug for five hours on Saturday with jackhammers, finding the jersey at 3:25 p.m. ET and notifying Yankees officials.

The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and they may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker, according to The Associated Press.

Perhaps Castignoli selected the wrong Red Sox star to encapsulate at the Yankee Stadium site. Ortiz went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Boston's 4-3 victory over New York on Saturday, lowering his batting average to a dismal .070 after 12 games.

Red Sox win Game Two Of the 2007 World Series 2-1

There's more than one way to rough up the Rockies.

Boston's big bats battered them in the World Series opener. Then October ace Curt Schilling and a stingy bullpen shut down Colorado in Game 2.
Relying more on guile than pure gas, Schilling pitched Boston to a 2-1 victory Thursday night and a 2-0 lead in the World Series over the suddenly stagnant Rockies.

Lowell hit a tiebreaking double in the fifth and the Red Sox got 3 2-3 innings of shutout relief from Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon to win their sixth straight Series game, including a sweep of St. Louis in 2004.

That victory ended an 86-year title drought and set off a wild winter of celebrations all over New England. Two more wins this year and the party's on again.

The Series shifts to spacious Coors Field for Game 3 on Saturday night, when $103 million rookie Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches for Boston against Josh Fogg.

With no designated hitter allowed, the Red Sox must decide whether to play hobbling slugger David Ortiz at first base or leave his mighty bat on the bench.

If they keep getting this kind of pitching, it might not matter.

Game Three of the 2007 World Series is Saturday Night on Fox.

Red Sox Win Game One of 2007 World Series 13-1

Josh Beckett had his good stuff, and he was backed all around by the Red Sox offense.

Josh Beckett, Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox were revved up and ready. Not so the Colorado Rockies, who lurched into Beantown with all the zip of a creaky old stagecoach.

Back in the World Series with no Bambino's curse to worry about, the Red Sox flattened the Rockies 13-1 in Wednesday night's opener.
Beckett got off to the most overpowering start since Sandy Koufax, Pedroia became only the second player to lead off the Series with a home run, and then a relentless offense led by Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz racked up hit after hit.

Boston set a record for runs and victory margin in an opener and finished with 17 hits, becoming the first club with eight doubles in a Series game since 1925. After taking a 6-1 lead against Colorado ace Jeff Francis, the Red Sox piled on seven runs in the fifth, when Rockies reliever Ryan Speier walked three straight batters with the bases loaded - the first time that ever happened in the Series.

Make no mistake, these Red Sox are slick, and not just because of an on-and-off drizzle that seemed to dampen the noise from 36,733 fans in Fenway Park. Counting their comeback from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland in the AL championship series, the Red Sox have outscored opponents 43-6 in their last four games. In the first five innings against Colorado, the Red Sox were 11-for-15 (.733) when batting with two outs.

Game Two of the 2007 World Series is tonight on Fox.

Oakland Athletics Ace Dan Haren has made Athletics fans forget all about Barry Zito, and he will be rewarded by becoming the Starting Pitcher for the American League.

San Diego Padres Ace Jake Peavy was bound to start an All Star Game. It was only a matter of time. Peavy is the ace of the veteran pitching staff in San Diego, and Peavy will be the Starting Pitcher for the National League.

The National League came close to beating the American League last year, only to watch Rangers SS Michael Young bring home the winning run for the American League. That's not going to happen this year. National League Wins.

The All Star Game is tonight on Fox.
