There's still a big chance the Red Sox lose the series, but all I can say is the AL better watch out. Xander Bogaerts has been the most consistent position player on the team this ALCS and he hasn't even been 21 for a month. The plate discipline this kid has is insane. EDIT: Just as I say that, Shane Victorino, who has had more baseballs hit him than his bat in the ALCS, smacks a grand slam. What a series!

One could argue that the World Series this year will be a "pure" one. Both the Red Sox and Cardinals had the most wins in their respective leagues (97, 65). It should be a great series.

Very small difference between the Sox and Tigers.  Tigers starters were scary good.

Well it is over.  Sox fans can feel good about this one.  They played well and got contributions from just about everyone on the team.  The Cards played well too.  Big Papi, Lester and Koji were outstanding.

Yeah, I missed most of the games, but followed along with highlights ... it was a good series.  Too bad last night's game had little excitement.

I'm amazed at Big Papi, by the way.  Wasn't he supposed to be washed up a couple of years ago?

That's pretty much how I feel.  Whoopty-doo.  I'm pretty much done with that town. ;)

I just looked it up ... since 2001, they have at least one championship in EVERY major sport.  And, a total of 8 championships, and 12 championship game(s) appearances.

Come on, guys ... maybe spread the wealth a little bit????

Just tell the Chargers and Padres to start growing beards!  And for Pete's sake, get Marty S. back as the head coach!  Who the tell fires a 14-2 coach anyway.

Ugh ... the bane of my football fan existence ... don't remind me!!  Thankfully that d-bag (the fir-er of MS ... AJ Smith) is gone along with Norv.  Good riddance, I say!

Yep.  After it was revealed that he tested positive for PEDs in 2003.  HR's went from 54 to 35 to 23.    BA went from 330 to 260 to 230.  But then he had a miraculous resurgence in his late 30s and at 37 is hitting better than he's hit in 5 years.

That reminds me of this one time in 4th grade.... ;-)

That long ago??

Oh wait ... do you mean that it was revealed that he USED them in '03, or it was REVEALED that he used them in '03?  Either way ... .600+ BA in the World Series???  Impressive.

There was a test in 2003 that a bunch failed, but then the results were kept secret.  In 2007 the Mitchell report named some players, and in 2009, the 2003 test results were leaked.  That's when A-Rod had his interview about the "willy nilly days" when that stuff was popular.  Ortiz's failed test became public in 2009.  His slide started in 2008, though.

OK, that makes sense.  I'm starting to remember it now. :)

    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
