Major League Baseball crowned a new champion on Wednesday night, as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals in Game 7 of the World Series. After being shutout in game six of the series, the Giants offense started clicking in the early stages of game...

Without a doubt the most compelling storyline this postseason has been the utter dominance displayed by the Kansas City Royals. Currently up 2 games to none in the best of 7 American League Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City’s fortune...

No jet lag on this flight! Which is good, because I’d probably feel awful coming out of Houston having to work my backside off for two wins against the American League’s worst team. Be gentle, Central Time Zone. Please. KANSAS CITY ROYALS – 58-53,...

Having earned their second sweep in a row, the Boston Red Sox (11-4, 2.5 games ahead in the AL East) return home to Fenway Park for a three-game series (which will start TBA due to the ongoing manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber) against the Kansas City Royals...

Color me the black sheep, but I don’t get the nail-biting regarding Jonny Gomes getting a short leash to start full-time in left field for the Red Sox in 2013. I get that he’s got huge platoon splits. I get that he’s an awful defender. But neither one of those lie at...

Part one of a two part series on the defense of the signing Shane Victorino. We begin on offense: As a Boston Red Sox fan living in “Braves Country” I have to persistently make an effort to get my daily Sox news throughout the day. The Atlanta Journal Constitution,...

After being swept by the Angels, the Boston Red Sox (59-66, 13.5 games back in the AL East) lick their wounds and welcome the Kansas City Royals (55-68, 13 games back in the AL Central) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. The Red Sox have lost four in a row and are...

The Red Sox (11-16) get out of town, and none too soon, to play a three-game series against the lowly Kansas City Royals (9-18). The Royals have some talent but not enough to, you know, consistently win. The Royals will host the 2012 MLB All-Star Game to celebrate the...

Reports are spreading that the Oakland Athletics have already offered free agent third baseman Adrian Beltre a five-year deal worth upwards of $64M and that his agent, Scott Boras, is using Torii Hunter’s five-year, $90M deal as a comparable for what Beltre...
