When Pittsburgh came to Oakland for an interleague series last summer, Billy Beane couldn't believe Jason Kendall was the lone catcher on the Pirates' roster.

Josh Beckett's so locked in it would surprise few if he were led to the mound blindfolded and still hit Jason's Varitek's mitt location spot on. No matter that the Red Sox scored 13 runs last night, Beckett could have been staked to 1 1/2 runs and he could have held on to the lead. The fact that the Rockies ...

Much to the Florida Marlins' regret, Josh Beckett was right.

Meaningless, that is, for the Steelers, who&#39;ve clinched the conference&#39;s top seed. The game isn&#39;t meaningless to Cowher, who&#39;s hoping to sustain momentum.

Just minutes after the Red Sox acquired him last December from the Rockies, Mark Bellhorn declared that he planned to wage an all-out effort to win the job as the starting second baseman. Little did he know the Sox would sign Pokey Reese a week later and all but hand Reese the job. And few observers seemed to believe that ...

Darren Sharper knows he's a step slow but that's not going to stop him from playing hurt.

Four runs were already in. Mike Lowell was at the plate, awaiting the pitch from an ineffective Robinson Tejeda, who had just loaded the bases with two outs in the second inning by walking David Ortiz, hitting Manny Ram&#xED;rez, and walking J.D.

Almost shadowed by Eli Manning in pressureÂs spotlight is the man with the most to win or lose by the quarterbackÂs performances: Tom Coughlin, the head coach.

He was the starter no one wanted anymore. How bad was it for Derek Lowe in terms of inspiring confidence among his peers before last night's start in Game 4? After Saturday night's embarrassing 19-8 pounding by the Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, a loss in which the Red Sox' staff was pounded into submission, ...
