Posted October 9, 2008 at 7:35 pm, Fla. - Even when the Rays weren’t among the league’s elite, Tampa Bay tussled with Boston on a regular basis. Now, the Red Sox and Rays - teams whose previous best-known interactions were dust-ups - will meet for the right to go to the World Series. Tampa…

Posted October 7, 2008 at 12:24 pmSo much Rich Harden. So much for Nick Swisher. And so much for the big, bad Angels. Nice, isn’t it, that there were more than a couple of A’s-related items going on in the opening round of the baseball playoffs. Here’s my take on them:
— Harden’s performance in Game 4, in retrospect, was entirely predictable. [...]

Posted October 7, 2008 at 12:07 amThe Boston Red Sox brushed aside the 100-win Angels in four games, dismissing their best-in-baseball regular season as last month’s news. When it turns to October, no one dominates like Boston. Moments after the Angels botched a suicide squeeze, Jason Bay…

Posted October 6, 2008 at 9:36 pmYou know there are times that I watch the team that is based down the road from where I live now and wish that the A’s had the same aggressive edge to their play. And then I’m reminded on nights like tonight of just how terrible a death it can be if you’re overly aggressive.
The Angels battled the Red Sox to get to a 2-2 …

Posted October 6, 2008 at 1:15 pmYes, the American League series continue on while the National League Championship Series is ready and waiting.
The Rays send Andy Sonnanstine to the mound to face the White Sox and Gavin Floyd. Even though I love Nick Swisher, the truth is that I must love Dan Johnson and Carlos Pena more because I really want the Rays to go to the ALCS. Funny thing is …

Posted October 4, 2008 at 10:50 pmIt’s a sad night. I was rooting for Rich Harden to help the Chicago Cubs stay alive, but alas he did not help make that happen, not even getting through five innings. I wanted the Cubs to stay alive because I truly wanted to see the North Siders end a century of frustration with a championship. 100 years is long enough for fans to wait …
