Two little, too late for the Boston Red Sox. Boston beat the New York Yankees twice in one day for the first time in 30 years, rallying for a 5-4 victory Sunday night on Mark Loretta's ninth-inning sacrifice fly. In the opener of the team's second straight day-night doubleheader, David Ortiz's league-leading 49th homer and Kevin Youkilis' three-run double in the seventh boosted Boston to a 6-3 win.

If you are a Red Sox fan, this was your World Series. The Yankees were unceremoniously eliminated from the postseason by the Detroit Tigers yesterday. It is the story of the baseball year, and no matter what else happens, this is unlikely to change.

It took The Boss more than an hour to emerge from Yankee Stadium after his team&#39;s descent into history-book infamy last night with its 10-3 loss to the Red Sox in Game 7 of the ALCS.

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, ...

The Indians hand the Yankees their worst loss in franchise history 22-0. Coupled with Boston's win over Anaheim, New York's AL East lead has shrunk to 3 1/2 games.

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 ...

The Red Sox lost for the first time in 11 games as a Texas right-hander gets his first victory. BOSTON -- Even Hollywood couldn&#39;t prolong Boston&#39;s win streak.

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?

Lose the choreography and dial back the frivolity. Thatâs my advice for the Mets as they resume the season. The Yankees, on the other hand, could use a bit of strut.

The Yankees went home last night wondering how it all went wrong. They had the Red Sox exactly where they wanted them on Sunday night. They had the Red Sox exactly where they wanted them last night. We all know what happened.

Another game, another postseason classic. It will be news if the Red Sox and Yankees ever play a yawner. Last night certainly does not qualify.

Tim Jarrett understands what I'm saying. What a great Superbowl, and what an opportunity for Boston sports fans to learn the value in losing. What? Value in losing? You bet.  It wasn't that long ago when Boston was one of the best cities in the USA for sports precisely because Boston teams were such spectacular losers. I'll never forget the misery of the Dowbrigade after the Red Sox lost something (or did they win, I forget). They must have lost because he swore he'd never let them break his heart again the way they had for his whole life (he's about my age). Losing teaches you that there's more to life than winning, and that's the best lesson possible and it's the one lesson you keep needing to learn over and over until you lose everything, which like it or not is what we all do in the end. People write poetry about losing, great music is composed about lost causes. Who writes an ode to winning? They're too busy getting drunk or getting laid.  Never have I loved a team more or felt more kinship with my fellow fans than when our team goes down in flames after a season of great ups and downs. No doubt there are no smiles or tears of joy in Boston today. But there is hope. And that, even when you win, is all that's left after a great season.
