World Series 2008: Phillies Power Too Much for Rays Pitching
2008-10-27 13:50:00
Phillies Power Too Much for Rays Pitching Some text from our 2008 World Series Predictions The reason that I don?t like the Rays here is due to the starting pitching match-up… they love to give up the longball, Shields (24 in 215 IP), Garza (19 in 185) and Kazmir (23 in 152). Vegas odds have game one as ...

Once again, I’d like to offer up my congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays for making it to their first World Series. So does this loss sting for the Boston Red Sox. Of course it does. They set a goal of getting back to the World Series and didn’t quite get there. Over time, the Red ...
Why Are You Always Picking On Me?
2008-10-20 07:35:00
Yesterday, I chronicled Dennis Eckersley’s whipping boy status during the TBS broadcasts of the ALCS. Well during the final broadcast for TBS after Game 7 of the ALCS, Eck was still not immune to any good natured ribbing as the fellas in the truck got him one more time. Maybe that was just Eck trying out ...

***BOSTON RED SOX DEFEAT TAMPA BAY RAYS TO FORCE A GAME SEVEN***
2008-10-19 11:13:00
***LAST CHANCE TEXACO GAME THREE SUNDAY NIGHT AT 8:07pm EDT On TBS & TBS HD***__________________________-_____________________________Wo-nder of wonders, miracle of miracles, the Boston Red Sox took game two of the three "Last Chance Texaco" baseball games by defeating the bedeviled and totally spooked Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 4-2. Josh Beckett started for the defending world champions and relied heavily on his curveball. He was able to control his 92 MPH fastballs too, and he threw 'em where Tampa Bay couldn't hit 'em. He knows how to pitch and he showed that to the world last night in a game that was blacked out for the first 19 minutes on TBS because of a shutdown of a master router, which feeds the signal to we the people. I listened to that 19 minutes on radio and was happy to hear that the Sox tied the game at one and went ahead 2-1 in the second inning. Beckett settled down magnificently after an Upton first inning solo tater and pitched five full, allowing two runs on f...

Last Chance Texaco Game # 2...Boston Red Sox At Tampa Bay Rays
2008-10-18 10:48:00
Here we are - it's very early Saturday morning, a Saturday that might be the last day of the 2008 Boston Red Sox season or a day of celebration and anticipation of a game seven tomorrow night in St. Petersburg, Florida. It'll be Josh "Baseball" Beckett facing Tampa Bay ace James Shields, who is pitching with one extra day of rest. Manager Terry Francona has stated again and again that Beckett will be his game # 6 starter and, if needed (please!), Jon Lester will toe the rubber for game seven. But the troubling question that surrounds us all still lingers - is Beckett hurt? Can he still pitch effectively with a fastball that tops out at 92 MPH? His usual is 95-96 MPH, so there is less room for error if his fastball location is a little off, which it has been for his starts against the Angels and these Rays. All questions will be answered tonight, starting at 8:07pm EDT. You can see the game(s) on TBS and TBSHD, much to their delight. Were it not for the amazing Sox comeback, 2008 b...
Kazmir?s Pitch Count Lets Down the Rays
2008-10-17 15:39:00
Scott Kazmir’s Pitch Count Hurts the Rays Its hard to argue with six scorless innings with seven K from game five of the ALCS. But within that line is the problem itself, only six innings pitched. In Kaz’s last twenty starts of the 2008 regular season he pitched 107 IP. This averages out to about 5.1 IP ...

Apparently Charles Barkley & Kenny Smith Were At Game 5 Of The ALCS

If you’re a regular watcher of The NBA on TNT, you will know that they usually have fun with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith by superimposing their faces on things.

***BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE FENWAY*** Tampa Bay Rays 13 Boston Red Sox 4
2008-10-15 11:03:00
The Boston Red Sox are in deep, DEEP trouble. Last night at Fenway Park, the Tampa Bays Rays demolished the home team by a score of 13-4. It was never close. Tim Wakefield, in his last start of 2008, allowed five runs in only 2 2/3 innings before being pulled by manager Terry Francona. Since their game one victory, a 2-0 win, Red Sox starting pitching has been horrendous and their hitting extremely woeful. Here's what Pedey Pedroia and catcher Keven Cash, who had a meaningless home run, had to say after the humiliation was over..."We're down, 3-1, and if we lose, we're going home," Dustin Pedroia said. "Hit the panic button. You've got to play better. That's it. That's all I've got for you guys. Play better, we win.""It's very deflating, frustrating, whatever word you want to use," said Kevin Cash, author of that home run. "We've got to regroup. We were down in this situation last year. That's a huge factor. Everybody in here still believes that we're going to go out and ...

Before last night’s massacre of the Boston Red Sox by the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the ALCS, the TBS cameras caught Rays skipper Joe Maddon taking a gander at the ridiculous outfit that Craig Sager had on. Did he really blow him a kiss? The look on Maddon’s face really does just say ...

Game Three - Boston Red Sox & Tampa Bay Rays...JON LESTER IS IN THE BUILDI
2008-10-13 11:35:00
Boston Red Sox baseball returns to Fenway Park today, Monday, October 13th. Happy Coumbus Day to every one of you. The weather will be downright perfect with sunny skies and temperatures in the very low to mid 70s for those of you lucky enough to be holding onto tickets for the important contest. The Red Sox have their best pitcher going. Jon Lester will face the sometimes tough Matt Garza in front of 38,000 plus of the Fenway Faithful. The shadows will affect those players in the batting box, which has to give a slim advantage to the lefty Lester. But he's been lights out this year day or night. The game will start at 4:37pm EDT and the winner will have a 2-1 series lead with two more games coming up at Fenway tomorrow and Thursday. If needed, the last two games will be Saturday and Sunday down at the Trop. But first things first...what happened to Josh Beckett? Here is what he and manager Terry "Tito" Francona had to say on that very subject..."I can understand it," Beckett said ...
