Cole Hamels was asked about his struggles this season and if he was looking forward to next season starting. His response was a bit of a head-shaker. "I can't wait for it to end. It's been mentally draining. But, you know what, it's one of those things, a year in, you just can't wait for a fresh start," Hamels said. Granted, he later added that "Game...

That one was rather frustrating. Cole Hamels looked dominant early but unraveled quickly after being squeezed on a would-be strike three to Mark Teixiera in the top of the fourth.

During the past few days, Pedro Martinez has spent a lot of time telling us -- usually rather amusingly -- about all of the things that Pedro Martinez is. He is the most influential player that has ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. He is the would-be King of New York. He is a Christian. He is a father.

PHILADELPHIA | In this, the postseason of disputed calls and replay reviews, television is now trying to help make life easier on umpires at the World Series. One night after one of its cameras behind the right-field fence was struck by Alex Rodriguez's deep drive, Fox decided to move it back from the fence to prevent a similar play from happening in the two remaining series...
