No! It Isn't Supposed to Go This Way!
Oct 13, 2008 | 9:52PM | ian2813
How does Jon Lester, the best pitcher in baseball, get shelled by a team with no postseason experience? Nothing the Sox did today went right! Now the Rays have a 2-1 series lead! Fortunately, the Red Sox have mystique on their side. Ever since they came back from that 3-0 deficit in 2004 they've been a different team in October. F... Read More

In another story that is far from breaking news (see last post regarding Homer Bailey, which turned out right), Juan Pierre is downright terrible. But I could have told you that years ago as he hasn't had an OBP over .330 since 2004. Anyway, I'm ... Read More
