Bay is ready to play the field

The talks have been going on all season. But suddenly, as of midnight, things are different. Now it’s not only the Red Sox who can discuss contract numbers with free agent left fielder Jason Bay - every team can. The Sox have been conversing with Bay ...

27th in a Series

NEW YORK - The bat whipped around, again and again. The baseballs were lashed, just foul here, just foul there. Hideki Matsui had full control of Pedro Martinez, he just needed to work on his placement as he stood at the plate in the second ...

Missed connections at first base

NEW YORK - The video below Ryan Howard’s picture on the Phillies website says everything. No mammoth home runs. No big RBIs. Instead, there are clips of Howard’s strikeouts. If interested, masochistic Phillies fans - or joyous Yankees fans - can choose ...

Still in the chase

PHILADELPHIA - The cloud of smoke lingered over the field even after the ball had settled into the right-field stands, a fog of celebration of the feats of Chase Utley and a fog of consternation hanging over the Yankees. The fireworks had been set off ...

Damon, Yankees on the verge

It looked a bit pathetic, as Pedro Feliz ran after Johnny Damon, holding the baseball with nobody to throw to. There was nothing he could do. Damon had stolen second base on Brad Lidge after a two-out single earned in a great at-bat in the ninth inning ...

Ace Lee will wait his turn

PHILADELPHIA - In the end, the decision was all about Cliff Lee. And yet, as good as Lee was in Game 1 of the World Series, the Phillies have chosen to go with someone else in Game 4. Lee has never pitched on three days’ rest, exactly what the Phillies ...

Burnett squares it away

Lee, Utley shine in Game 1 win

NEW YORK - The behind-the-back grab in the eighth inning seemed routine. Like the nonchalant catch in the sixth, about which Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said, “He was trying to pull a Willie Mays on us.’’ Like the nine innings of brilliance on the ...
