As is expected as the season winds down, there are few, if any, roster moves being made. Teams have already called up players following roster expansion, so most everybody is done for the year in this regard.

Dodgers officially eliminated from playoff race, baseball season over
Mark Ellis' short fly ball to center field that, at first looked like it had a chance to drop, ended the Dodgers' season tonight.
"Drop, drop, drop! Ahh f---!"

Two out, two to go for the Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers cold September costs them October
Back in about 1995, a friend of mine who worked for NBC said, “The patient is critical but not dead yet.” His lament was about how cable was eroding the viewership of network television. I suggested maybe it was crappy shows but I digress. The fact is the Dodgers are critical but not quite dead yet. They are still mathematically alive for a postseason slot but have to become...

The record-breaking sale of over...
Will Josh Beckett be remembered as the villain in Boston?
For Red Sox fans, this season cannot end soon enough. Decimated by injuries, plagued by constant turmoil and negative news stories, declines by formerly good pitchers and a manager controversy that never ended all mark a season that started off on the wrong foot and ended without any legs at all. Every bad situation needs a scapegoat. There has to be a villain in a story like this...
