The New York Yankees failed to get a win from their starting pitcher -- again -- and lost another game to the Red Sox.

Philadelphia closer Billy Wagner was furious after he was ejected in the ninth inning of Saturday&#39;s game 11-9, 13-inning win over the New York Mets for throwing two high-and-tight pitches to Cliff Floyd.

That's Fausto, like oust-o. And like one of their supposed aces, the Cleveland Indians could soon be kicked out of the postseason. Maybe they should be. Because the pitiful-playing squad that showed up Saturday night for Game 6 of the AL championship series at Fenway Park doesn't deserve to go anywhere else this October but home.

The Red SoxÂ implosion seems to be the result of bad pitching, bad management and, especially, incredibly bad luck.

John Olerud hobbled out of the clubhouse on crutches, his left foot heavily wrapped. The New York Yankees' first baseman sat out Sunday night with a bruised instep, and might be sidelined for a while.

Daniel Cabrera has a miserable outing Tuesday, surrendering five walks and a three-run home run to Jim Thome, above, as the listless O's drop a 5-1 decision to the White Sox.ÃÂ

There's much frustration in David Ortiz's eyes and voice these days. He's been forced to contend with the shift teams constantly deploy against him (though the Devil Rays used a conventional alignment last night in the first inning), the ball-and-strike calls he hasn't agreed with, and his sore hamstrings. There's the fact that he sees only one or two pitches ...

Yankees lefty Randy Johnson has a herniated disc in his lower back, an injury that could prevent him from pitching in the playoffs next week.

The Mets dropped their fourth consecutive game last night, a 6-3 defeat in 10 innings against the Philadelphia Phillies at Shea Stadium.

Perhaps he was trying to be too fine with his pitches. Perhaps he was trying too hard to pinpoint his location. And perhaps Fausto Carmona wasn't being as aggressive as he should have been against the Red Sox in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.

The Mets comeback came up short, as the teamâs pitching, headlined by a rare, uninspiring outing by Oliver PÃ©rez, did little to help.

Time is running out on the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers wasted a chance to cut their NL Central deficit to one game, giving up a first-inning home run to Albert Pujols in a testy 7-3 loss Wednesday night to the St. Louis Cardinals that saw two more hit batters and a pair of ejections.

Pedro Martinez's night started bad, and it simply got worse. The New York Mets ace tweaked his calf during warmups, got roughed up for six runs and left his terrible outing against Philadelphia after getting only three outs.

The Orioles fall to 6-15 in one-run games as another solid outing by Jeremy Guthrie is spoiled by a 3-2 loss in 10 innings to Colorado.

Maybe they should play the rest of their home games at the ballpark over at Coney Island, because their own place suddenly has become a House of Mirrors. The Yankees lose the World Series here. They get shut out in the Division Series opener here. They squander a 5-3 lead late in Game 2 against the Twins ...
