Usually, the most unlikely of heroes arise in the playoffs. Enter Omir Santos 42 games into the Mets regular season. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and Gary Sheffield standing on first base down 2-1 to the Boston Red Sox, Santos lined a Jonathan Papelbon...

When the Toronto Blue Jays came to town with a 3.5 game lead over the Boston Red Sox, it would be fair to characterize the first meeting of the two teams this season as surprisingly critical. One team was going to make a statement and thus far, it has been the Red...

At first glance, the A.L. East division leading Toronto Blue Jays were less than impressive. Tim Wakefield, however, couldn’t have been more so. Wakefield (5-2) stymied Toronto over 8 innings allowing just one run on five hits, two walks and three strikeouts....

Tim Wakefield had lost 5 straight road games to the Los Angeles Angels. He looked well on his way to breaking that streak with a four run lead heading into the bottom of the third. Mike Napoli made sure Wakefield’s streak extended to six games with one swing of...

At what point can the Red Sox wait to address their AL-worst starting corps (or should I say corpse?), second-last in the bigs with a 5.81 ERA? Even the Yankees are faring better with a 5.64 ERA. Yes, Jon Lester has been burned by his defense — but he still has...

Rocco Baldelli singled home two runs in the bottom of the sixth for the Red Sox giving them a 4-2 lead. For Boston, it was all the run support they needed but it didn’t stop there. The Red Sox went on to break an 84-year-old-American League record scoring 12...
