      Play Ball! (Yes, Even Outside Boston and NYC)

      Opening Day is fun for fans around the nation—not just the perennial media darlings in Boston and New York. Time runs down the top story lines that don’t involve the Red Sox, Yankees or Mets: Watch Detroit. With new acquisitions Miguel Cabrera, Jacque Jones, and Edgar Renteria, the Tigers should be one of the best offensive teams ever. Indicted home-run king Barry Bonds is still circulating his resume—will anyone sign him? More »

      C.C. Gets the Cy

      Leviathan Cleveland ace C.C. Sabathia won the 2007 A.L. Cy Young Award, edging out 20-game winner Josh Beckett of Boston, to whom he lost twice in the playoffs. Sabathia led the majors in innings pitched with 241, and became the first African-American pitcher to win the award since Dwight Gooden in 1985. I definitely thought it would be close and I definitely thought Josh Beckett could have won it. I'm glad it worked out this way," he said. More »

      The Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center has filed suit to seal the results of a sweeping probe into its operations, an investigation in which 10 individuals have already pleaded guilty to abetting illegal prescription drug distribution.

      Byrd's HGH Use Was News to Mitchell

      Baseball investigator George Mitchell denied a report that he leaked information on Cleveland pitcher Paul Byrd’s use of human growth hormone. News broke before Cleveland lost Game 7 to Boston that Byrd had bought HGH online; he said it was used to treat a pituitary tumor. Mitchell said he learned of the allegations at the same time as the public, the AP reports. More »

      Pedroia Powers Sox Into Series

      The smallest guy on the field struck the biggest blows last night as the Red Sox turned a tense ALCS Game 7 into a late-inning laugher. With the Sox leading the Indians 3-2, rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia hit a 2-run HR in the 7th inning, then a bases-loaded double in the 8th, and Boston cruised into the World Series with an 11-2 win, the team's third straight victory after trailing the series 3-1.

      Cleveland Pitcher Bought HGH

      Paul Byrd, the pitcher who's been critical in the Cleveland Indians' successful playoff run this season, bought almost $25,000 worth of human growth hormone between 2002 and 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle learned today. Byrd admitted taking HGH, but told Fox Sports he was using it legally with a prescription. The Chronicle report, however, says two of Byrd’s prescriptions came from a dentist whose license was suspended in 2003 for fraud. More »

      Curt Schilling pitched seven strong innings last night and the Boston offense came through in a big way to launch the Red Sox over the Indians, 12-2, and force Game 7 of the ALCS, reports the Boston Herald . J.D. Drew set the tone in the first with a two-out grand slam off Cleveland ace Fausto Carmona. More »

      It  was do or die for the Red Sox last night, and this time they did. Josh Beckett posted 11 strikeouts and one walk in eight powerful innings, and Kevin Youkilis led a surging Boston offense with a triple and homer, reports the Providence Journal. The 7-1 win keeps the Sox alive in the series, which the Indians lead 3-2. More »

      Indians Poised to Eliminate Sox

      The Cleveland Indians moved to within one game of the World Series last night with a 7-3 takedown of the Red Sox, reports the AP. Cleveland's runs came in a breakout fifth inning against knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and reliever Manny Delcarmen. Despite making postseason history two innings later, the Red Sox couldn't avoid falling into a 3-1 series hole. More »

      Indians Roll Dice For Series Lead

      Daisuke Matsuzaka's second postseason outing for Boston last night went much like his first: he gave up four runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Unlike his last appearance, Matsuzaka got the loss, as Cleveland's Jake Westbrook reigned in the Red Sox for a 4-2 defeat. The Indians now have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, reports the Providence Journal. More »

      BoSox Bullpen Gives Game Away in 11th

      The Red Sox suffered their first postseason loss last night as the Boston Bullpen let a 6-6 tie explode into a 13-6 embarrassment in the 11th inning. Starting pitchers Curt Schilling and Fausto Carmona both left high scores in their wake after just over four innings, but Eric Gagne got the loss by sparking Cleveland's final, devastating rally, reports the Boston Herald.

      Red Sox Cruise Behind Beckett

      Game 1 of the ALCS did not prove to be the pitching duel between Cy Young candidates that many had expected, as the Red Sox battered Cleveland starter C.C. Sabathia en-route to a 10-3 victory, the Providence Journal reports. Sabathia was rocked for eight runs in four and a third innings, while Josh Beckett coasted through six, giving up two runs on four hits. More »

      Indians Send Yankees Home

      The Cleveland Indians took Game 4 of the ALDS, defeating the Yankees 6-4 last night to advance to the ALCS, reports the AP. While the Indians have their eye on their first World Series title since 1948, questions consume the Bronx: Will Joe Torre get the ax? Can the Yanks afford to keep their free agents? And where was Alex Rodriguez throughout this series? More »

      Yankees, Torre Still in the Game

      Trailing 0-2 in the ALDS and behind 3-1 in the fourth inning of last night's game, the Yankees finally rallied for an 8-4 win against Cleveland, reports the New York Daily News . The victory keeps the Yanks in the playoffs and Joe Torre at their helm; owner George Steinbrenner decreed yesterday that Torre's out of a job if the Yankees lose this series. More »

      Yankees Stung at Cleveland

      The Indians lead the Yankees 2-0 in their ALDS series, following Friday night's 11-inning victory. A game which saw phenomenal pitching from starters Pettitte and Carmona  is destined to become famous for the insect swarm that arrived in the later innings. The pests certainly got to Yankee reliever Joba Chamberlain, who gave up a game tying run on a wild pitch in the eighth. More »

      Indians Rout Yanks in Game 1

      Anchored by a gutsy C.C. Sabathia performance, the Indians beat the heavily favored Yankees 12-3 to take a 1-0 series lead.  Sabathia walked six and needed 114 pitches to go 5 innings, but it was enough to get the win, particularly with Asdrubal Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Travis Hafner and Ryan Garko all homering to back him.

      Last night's win over the Tigers was the Cleveland Indians' 20th in 25 games, raising them to a tie with Boston for the best record in baseball, and taking them one step closer to clinching the American League Central division title. Indians ace C.C. Sabathia improved to 18-7, and closer Joe Borowski notched his league-leading 42nd save, reports the AP. More »

      With one swing, Casey Blake secured the Indians an 11th-inning win over the Detroit Tigers, and reduced Cleveland's magic number to seven. Blake's walk-off homer could end up being a key step on the way to the Indian's first playoff berth in six seasons, especially if they can take the rest of this series from the Tigers, reports the AP.
