We Came Out West Together With a Common Desire
baseballanalysts.com 10/21/2009 — After spending two days in Austin, Texas to start my work week, I was happy to be coming home to Boston.

Playoffs Today
baseballmusings.com 10/20/2009 — Just one game today as the extra day off takes hold in the National League. The Yankees send CC Sabathia on three days rest against Scott Kazmir of the Angels.
