Congratulations, BoSox fans. Your time has arrived. The Curse has been broken once and for all. No longer will you be taunted by obnoxious Yankees fans waving signs that read only &quot;1918.

ESPN announced yesterday the signing of Rick Reilly, whose contract with Sports Illustrated expires at the end of November, to write the back-page column in ESPN the Magazine and to deliver essays on âSportsCenterâ during its golf coverage.Reilly said he succumbed to ESPN after rejecting offers 5 and 10 years ago. âThe money was ridiculous,â he said in a news media conference call. âThis is an itch Iâve always wanted to scratch, to take my voice to a different place.â Despite being on TV regularly with one-minute commentaries, he said ESPN wanted him for his column. âBelieve me, with this nose, I know whatâs best for me,â he said.

BOSTON - Unbelievable as it may seem, not everyone in New England is thrilled about the Red Sox winning the World Series. Retailers of everything from T-shirts to ice cream and cookies had been making money

It's a relatively recent story, and a familiar one. The Red Sox had two big sluggers in the middle of their lineup -- one a lefthanded hitter, the other a righty, both .300 hitters, one a former MVP, one who would soon be named one. They were the linchpins of a Sox team that had high hopes of playing deep ...

A year or so ago I was walking along Lansdowne Street behind Fenway Park with my teenage son, Jordan, when we bumped into Peter Kadzis, the longtime editor of the Boston Phoenix. We chatted a few minutes then moved on. When we were out of earshot, Jordan turned to me and said: &quot;That old guy -- that old guy! -- ...

As years go, 2004 will forever rate up there with the best of them. It will always be known as the Year the Boston Fans Got Even. For most of my life (with the exception

FOXBOROUGH -- Even when they're bad, it's good. These world champion Patriots have taught us a new way of thinking about a local pro sports team. The competence and success of the Patriots has produced a fan base that expects good things to happen -- no small accomplishment in a region famous for another team with a nation of fans ...

NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees got the attention of the Boston Red Sox with their open courtship of Pedro Martinez. After showing off their World Series championship trophy to fans in New Haven yesterday

We&#39;ve all heard the question: If a tree falls in the woods, but no one is around, does it make a noise? Or, if the Boston Red Sox don&#39;t win the World Series after beating the Yankees in the ALCS, will anyone remember?

BOSTON - The fans wanted it. For that matter the entire baseball world wanted it. Now it&#39;s here, and nobody is champing at the bit more than the Boston Red Sox.

I'm a lifelong baseball fan, and I don't care if Roger Clemens took steroids, or if he is lying or if McNamee is lying.  News is stuff that's important. If it's national news, it's stuff that is important to everyone in the nation. Whether Clemens took steroids or not is a proper topic for a 60 Minutes, Fresh Air or Nightline segment. To take a whole day across all the cable channels the day after three pivotal primaries is very wrong. (And what if they do it again tomorrow? Oy.) So it's ridiculous that all the cable news channels are broadcasting the full testimony of Roger Clemens and his accuser. Hours of repetitive questions and the same answers, over and over, while there is news happening in the world. I know because I'm subscribed to the MSNBC and AP feeds on Twitter. I have a Google Alert that shows me results of all the campaign conference calls. (There have been a couple this morning, from Obama and McCain, I'd love to get MP3s, and still looking for a feed.) It's time for some serious routing-around, or for the cable news programmers to get back on the job.  Cross-posted at Huffington.

A few questions for Ichiro Suzuki (through interpreter Ken Barron ): Do you like Boston, and would you consider coming as a free agent? IS : (Laughter.) "I said all I'm going to say about free agency in my first press conference for the rest of this year."

You've heard of cash cows. Well, it seems Red Sox Nation is a ratings cow, no matter what time their games are on. The feeling that Red Sox Nation has been &quot;used&quot; (milked?) just won't go away. Boston posted a 20.2 rating for Wednesday night's Game 2 of the AL Division Series between the Red Sox and Angels. For the ...

Slim pickings at the 66th annual Boston Baseball Writers bash at the Sheraton last night. After the greatest Boston baseball season of them all, few baseball personalities and only one Sox player were able to make it to the Hub for the packed dinner on a foggy night. Tim Wakefield was the lone member of the world champions to grace ...

Fenway Park goes dark now. For a while. No &quot;Sweet Caroline.&quot; No &quot;Dirty Water.&quot; No &quot;Tessie&quot; sweeping up on the big board while the Dropkick Murphys send everybody home with a smile. The only activity at the yard in the next 11 days will be the Sox grounds crew pondering where to put the World Series logo in the grass ...
