Young returns as Oakland's pitching coach Fri Oct 21 13:18:46 2011 EST
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Curt Young has agreed to return as the pitching coach for the Oakland Athletics after a one-year stint with the Boston Red Sox. Young spent 23 years in the Oakland organization, including seven as the Athletics' pitching coach, before leaving for the Red Sox. His pitching staff was a major factor in Boston's September collapse that left the Red Sox out of a playoff spot. Originally selected by Oakland in the fourth round of the 1981 draft, Young pitched for the At
Ortiz wins Roberto Clemente Award Thu Oct 20 19:49:49 2011 EST
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox has been named the 2011 winner of the Roberto Clemente Award, bestowed upon the player who combines outstanding play on the field with devoted work in the community. The 35-year-old Ortiz personally donated $100,000 to the David Ortiz Children's Fund in 2011. Ortiz founded the DOCF in 2005 after visiting young children who had just received life-saving heart operations in his native Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He received
Rangers-Cards: Let's get it on Wed Oct 19 11:54:07 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Amazingly enough the 107th World Series will still get underway on Wednesday in St. Louis even though the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox or Philadelphia Phillies won't be involved. Instead it will be the business as usual Texas Rangers taking on the never- say-die St. Louis Cardinals in what may be the least anticipated Fall Classic since, well, the last time Tony La Russa's club was involved back in 2006 when his team beat the Detroit Tigers. But I have news for you if you
Berkman, Ellsbury selected as Comeback Players of the Year Thu Oct 13 13:47:04 2011 EST
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Outfielders Lance Berkman of the St. Louis Cardinals and Jacoby Ellsbury of the Boston Red Sox are the recipients of the 2011 Comeback Player of the Year awards. Berkman struggled in 2010 with Houston and the New York Yankees, batting a mere .248 with 14 homers and 58 runs batted in, then flourished in his first season with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 35-year-old veteran batted .301 with 31 homers and 94 runs batted in this season. He tied for ninth in the Natio
So just how bad was it in Boston? Wed Oct 12 12:56:50 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Maybe we should have seen this coming when Terry Francona parted ways with the Boston Red Sox just days after the regular season and didn't seem to mind one bit. In fact instead of being relieved of duties, Francona just looked relieved. Now comes word that general manager Theo Epstein will be leaving the team to assume the top baseball job with the Chicago Cubs, a move that had been rumored as far back as August, but one that not many people gave much credence to. Epstein is
Report: Epstein close to joining Cubs Tue Oct 11 21:15:17 2011 EST
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Theo Epstein is reportedly close to leaving the Boston Red Sox and joining the Chicago Cubs as their general manager. Epstein, according to the Boston Herald, is "on the cusp" of accepting the position with the Cubs and a decision is expected to be made by Thursday. In 2002, Epstein became the youngest general manager in major league history when he took over the Red Sox at age 28. He assembled the 2004 squad noted for ending an 86-year championship drought in Bost

t seems like," Burnett said. "People are entitled to their opinion. Obviously, I give them reasons here and there to doubt. The bottom line is I have confidence in myself." Burnett did win his final start of the season, though, as he beat the Boston Red Sox, allowing two runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings. He's also 4-2 lifetime versus the Tigers, despite a 6.33 ERA in eight starts. "Believe it or not, I have pretty good confidence every start," Burnett said. "I try to go out and believe I can
The time was right for Francona to go Sat Oct  1 13:55:49 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The fallout from the Boston Red Sox's stunning September collapse has begun. Manager Terry Francona will not return to the team next season after the sides agreed on a mutual parting of ways on Friday. While the Red Sox said they wouldn't pick up Francona's contract options for the next two seasons, the former manager won't be shedding any tears. He was just as ready to move on as owner John Henry was ready to get rid of him. Whatever the case, this much was clear: It was tim

The Rays, of course, rallied from nine games back on September 3 to win the AL wild card from the Boston Red Sox, whose MLB-record collapse had even further consequences when manager Terry Francona lost his job on Friday. Hours later, Tampa Bay continued to push forward by winning its sixth straight game and earning the first measure of revenge against
