It was about the Yankees taking care of business, or maybe it was about the Boston Red Sox not taking care of business â-gain. One Red Sox fan outside the Yankees&#39; clubhouse was

Monday's Game 5 of the Red Sox-Yankees series showed an interesting ratings pattern. The window from 5:15-8 p.m., the time allotted for the telecast, did a 42.2 rating and 66 audience share in Boston. Those are terrific numbers for any market. The better news for Fox was that the game was only half-over at that point.

The search giants have tried localizing, but with fair success. Here&#39;s a model that could work better. A new book shows how a change of ownership brought new life to the Boston Red Sox franchise.

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 ...

NEW YORK -- It seems so long ago now. Forever, possibly. With the Red Sox full of hope and just a notch below the Yankees in the American League East, the ancient rivals crowded into Fenway Park for a five-game series last month that turned from a beacon to a slaughter.

October is in our sights, and the two important teams from Massachusetts are confounding the experts. It&#39;s the Red Sox baseball club, not the Kerry presidential campaign, that&#39;s supposed to be in its pre-autumn swoon.

It was an innocent enough looking roller. But, almost immediately, you sensed something weird was going to happen to the Red Sox at a critical juncture of a game they could not afford to lose.

Beware of a thing called excess. The Red Sox thought they had it with Bronson Arroyo last spring so they took a chance, rolled the dice, and went after a slugger with upside in Wily Mo Pe&#xF1;a. Arroyo had a very good year in Cincinnati, where he proved to be the most durable pitcher in the National League, and the ...

They probably have done all they can do. As much as players on the bubble to make the roster for the Division Series may want to enhance their chances with powerful closing performances, the Red Sox almost certainly have seen all they need to see before they make their final decisions this weekend.

Even David Ortiz was amazed by this home run &#151; a 514-foot shot that hit the lights down the right-field line.

"I thought for a second that it might land in the Dominican (Republic)."
