Hot stove? It's a scalding griddle for young Theo Epstein. He could get burned. This past week was yet another demonstration of why ours is the best baseball town in America. Certainly there are places where fans love their team unconditionally (remember St. Louis, Edgar Renteria?), which makes for a cushy environment for players -- but there is no baseball ...

Followers of the Yankees and Red Sox, do not delude yourselves: money does matter. Imagine, please, being Ron Gardenhire, manager of the Minnesota Twins, as opposed to either Joe Torre or Terry Francona. It's Game 2 of the American League Division Series. Your team has a chance to go up, two games to none, in Yankee Stadium. And who is ...

Alex Rodriguez is just glad he ended up on this side of the rivalry. Third base, shortstop, doesn't matter &#151; as long as he's a Yankee.
