“Uninspiring” is the word that you’re probably looking for… The Red Sox apparently carried their lack of motivation with them into October. The Los Angeles Angels handedly swept the Red Sox, and for a third night in a row, the Red Sox simply beat themselves by playing...

In his preview of the Angels/Red Sox impending match up, ESPN’s Tim Kurkjain asks five questions about the series. *What is it about the number five that makes it so tidy for lists of this sort? Here are my responses to Tim’s questions. Consider this...

The Red Sox are set to do battle with the Angels later this week to decide who gets to play for the American League pennant. Boston and Los Angeles are certainly familiar with each other, having done battle in the 2004, ’07 and ’08 DCS. In fact, Boston...
