Joe Girardi won three rings as well. Damon won't get in on the back of 3000 hits, he has had a decent career but a distinct lack of killer years. If there was a Hall Of Very Good, he'd be a first ballot HOFer in that.

And for Boston fans, the hurt will surely be reduced after hearing Tim Wakefield's statement earlier. Might take him until the 2013 season to secure that one.

It was somehow fitting of the whole season how the O's won on that play, I hope Crawford bounces back next year.

As a neutral, that has to be one of the most thrilling nights of baseball in a long long time.

Red Sox now rooting for the Yankees.

It was actually true. He's a type B free agent at the end of the season so the Royals no doubt wanted too high a price for him. http://bit.ly/p5da1s The Sox had been actively trying to get some starting pitching for the final week, they inquired about a cash purchase of Chris Capuano a few...

Looks like the Sox are going with what they've got which seems likely to involve John Lackey on short rest, I really think they need to win tonight.

Rumors are that the Red Sox are trying to acquire Bruce Chen to pitch in a game 163 that may or may not happen.

But starting pitchers are a lot more valuable to a team on a given day than an everyday player is on that same given day. In fact, if the pitcher if x5 more valuable in his appearances than an everyday player then you could pretty much compare them both equally.

Indeed, being a pitcher (or even a DH) shouldn't exclude a player from the MVP award but since you could make the case that Verlander isn't the most valuable player on his own team (see Cabrera, Miguel) then him potentially winning the thing is pretty dumb.

If you go by WAR, and you generally should be rather than other measures, then Verlander isn't the best player in the league which takes him out of the running for MVP especially when he is disadvantaged by being a pitcher. It should be either Ellsbury or Bautista and there is nobody else close...

OK so I didn't read the post correctly - you're guaranteed to be up at least $25 whatever the outcome. So you're now essentially holding a ticket at +1000 odds where the (probably not 100% accurate) true market value is +544. In that case I'd let the bet ride. You can certainly hedge it out but...

Using the current Pinnacle no vig lines(+/- 153.846), the probability of the Sox winning today is 60.6%. If I remember correctly, that price is pretty much the same as yesterday and if you're looking for a quick calculation then just assume the odds are the same tomorrow. That makes the...

The Yankees hadn't clinched the best record in the AL while they were playing the Red Sox, they essentially had by the time they started playing the Rays. But they're not going to start scrubs for the final two games - yes they make sure their playoff rotation is set and they'll rest the odd...

Good move, I've not got a dog in this fight so I don't care too much about the outcome but fair play is always nice. Unfortunately for you, I saved my analysis after the back to back losses. If you made any picks after the -115 bet, I have no idea - I tried to check the google cache for this...

You forgot the new logo.

I don't think there was evidence that he bet against the Reds, if he did then surely someone would have come forward by now. He sure did like a lot of action.

John Lackey has never come across as a man of intelligence. But if you're having the worst season of your career, you're being (somewhat unfairly) crucified by the Boston press and fanbase and your wife is fighting breast cancer then anyone with a semblance of gray matter might have considered...

I think you're missing some bets. The PIT/ARI bet on 9/20 was a loser putting your balance at -2496, following that you had a play at -115 which was a loser (I don't know what the play was, probably the OAK/TEX play you made on your blog on 9/22) putting your balance at -2611. When your balance...

You don't need to be "interesting", you just need to be yourself and that is very much appreciated.
