That the Tampa Bay Rays went from 66-96
to the ALCS in one year is a nice
story, no doubt about it. But as these official team t-shirts prove, they’re a touch delusional. Conquered a dynasty? The Rays were 7-11 against the Yankees this ...

NLCS Game 1: Dodgers (Derek Lowe) at Phillies (Cole Hamels) on Fox, 8:22 p.m.
Why a Yankees fan should care: Lowe will be a free agent and will surely be considered by the Yankees. … If Robinson Cano is traded, the Dodgers could be a partner. … You get to see a real third base ...

Caught Miracle at St. Anna a few days ago. I generally like most everything Spike Lee does and this was a very good film. But trim 30 minutes and a few needless characters and subplots and it could have been great. The end was really trite and some twists in the story are simply implausible. ...

AM New York reported last night that the
Yankees had canceled a proposed “closing ceremony” at the

Good story in the L.A. Times from Hall of Fame writer Ross Newhan on Don Mattingly and his impact on the Dodgers.
It’s funny how things work sometimes. Mattingly didn’t get the Yankees job a year ago and was disappointed. But that proved to be a good thing for him because of ...

Phil Hughes had a pretty good outing today in Arizona: 5 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs, 5 walks, 7 strikeouts. He threw 86 pitches, 49 strikes.
The five walks are a little surprise. But Hughes hadn’t started a game since Sept. 24 in Toronto. Plus he could have have been working on something.
