"Despite another scare on a wet mound for Josh Beckett, the Red Sox right-hander thinks his left knee should be fine in time for him to pitch in the All-Star Game on Tuesday in Phoenix.
Beckett, who allowed three runs in five innings on Friday night in a 10-3 win over the Orioles, suffered a mild hyperextension of the knee on his 51st pitch. That came on a 1-0 offering to...

| | "Remember the scene in "Vacation" when Clark W. Griswold (Chevy Chase) was at the motel and Christie Brinkley asked him to go swimming?
"This is crazy, this is crazy," he said before jumping in.
Terry Francona is Clark W. Griswold. You can tell when he talks about playing Adrian Gonzalez in right field that he thinks it's crazy. But he also hates the idea of...

| | "In the end, it was overshadowed by the two-run, walk-off double Adrian Gonzalez hit off the Wall in last night's 8-7 victory over the Orioles. But Kevin Youkilis's two-run double off the Monster proved a huge blow in a five-run, five-hit eruption in the sixth inning that helped the Red Sox erase nearly all of a 6-0 deficit.
"Of course, obviously everyone's going to look...

When the 2010 season concluded, so did Albers' Orioles career. The O's decided not to tender him a contract after he went 5-3 with a 4.52 ERA in 752/3 innings.
That decision ended up having considerable...

| | Mr. Gammons describes what Spring Training USED to be like ... and how it's changed through the years.
As I've said in other places, I feel sorry for those who did not get the chance to go to Grapefruit League , or Cactus League games when things were more genteel, more laid-back, and a lot more fun.
