Jeez! Two days without baseball! Boy, is the offseason going to be ugly or what!?-[WHYGAVS] tallies what all the ex-Pirates have done in the playoffs this year: Bay, Kendall, Torres, Daryle Ward, Joe Beimel, Aramis Ramirez, and Dale Sveum.-To summarize my thoughts on the topic: first of all, I'm really happy for Bay. He homered in Games 1 and 2 and scored the series-winning run in the bottom of the ninth Monday night. Nobody deserves to go through this more than him. HOWEVER--hearing things like what John Kruk said is never fun: "Not that he didn't like Pittsburgh, but Jason Bay has gotta be having the time of his life. He's playing for a championship on a perennial good team. The Pirates, on the other hand, won't be competitive at least until Bay is long retired."-I used to like John Kruk. After hearing that, though, I'll just leave it up to his appearance to determine his reputation:Enough said.--------------As for Torres and Kendall, it was very strange to see them meet at the mo...

Last night Mike Scioscia decided that it was his time to pull the genius move that it was his time to make the difference and that 1 run would get it done. So he called the suicide squeeze with his speediest runner at third and his biggest sacrificing lamb at the plate, and it completely backfired. Willits was tagged out and the momentum swung from the Angels dugout directly into...

Sox Clinch ALDS In Dramatic Fashion
There was a point last night where I was actually pissed because I couldn't keep up with the recording between both the ALDS Game Four between the Angels and Red Sox, and the MNF game. I think in the end, I only missed the Varitek play on the suicide squeeze and Reggie Bush's second punt return for a TD.Both games were crazy, but with what was on the line, the Sox win was that much...
Angels commit suicide; Red Sox win ALDS!
So much to say... so little time. So I'm just gonna make a list of awesomeness from last night's game.
1. Jon Lester. That's it. He's awesome. 14 innings, 0.00 ERA, 11 Ks. John Lackey fought him tooth and nail in both games, but Lester never gave in. He got the leadoff man out every single time...
