Red Sox 7, Yankees 5: Mike Mussina will be seeing Manny Ramirez in his sleep. The Stanford graduate gave up two home runs to the George Washington High School product as part of a distressing performance. The righty allowed five runs in three innings, and, unlike Wednesday, the Yankees could not put up 15 runs. Ramirez has worn out all Yankees pitching, not just Mussina, and who could be blamed for thinking the slugger is......

Londonist got the big scoop of the week with what may be the first images of notorious street artist Banksy in action. They also got on a runaway train without an operator provoking a response from the transport authorities. Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story for Hallowe'en.......

Boston 11 Yankees 6: It was a bunch of little things that proved the Yankees undoing in a disastrous seventh inning. Bobby Abreu showed once again that he is afraid of walls by completely botching a flyball to start the inning. After an intentional walk to Manny Ramirez, Scott Proctor, not wanting to come anywhere near Kevin Youkilis after last night, walked him to load the bases. Then Robinson Cano half-assed a throw to Jeter......

Boston 7, Yankees 3: The Yankees meager two-game win streak against the two best teams in baseball ended last night as Mike Mussina was manhandled by Boston's lineup. Mike Mussina gave up 7 runs on 10 hits over 6 2/3 innings of pitching before being yanked by Torre and Guidry. That could have been overcome given the team's propensity to score, but the Yankees could only manage three runs off four hits against Julian......

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend... Gothamist spent the week writing about New Yorkers behaving badly: at the post office, at the Garden, and at the fertility clinic. Calvin Klein may not be misbehaving, but he's just a little dirty, and in a completely different way than some NYC kitchens. SFist had its share of misbehave-rs, too, like......

- Red Sox 9, Mets 4: The Mets had their chances against Jon Lester, loading the bases twice, but the rookie pitcher got out of the jams and the Red Sox won their 10th straight game. Alay Soler had his worst outing of the season, aided by a Lastings Milledge misplay of a fly ball into a two-run double in the fourth inning. The biggest scare for the Mets wasn't Big Papi or Manny......

-Yankees 2 Boston 1: No Matsui, Sheffield or Jeter; no problem. You may think the Yankees’ offense isn’t what it used to be, but it still can draw a key walk or get a key hit to provide the win. Tuesday, it was Jason Giambi who walked with the bases loaded to provide the winning run. While the offense provided just enough, the game would not have been won without Melky Cabrera. Cabrera, who looked......

Yesterday, Billy Wagner, the new Mets closer announced that he was dropping out of the inaugural World Baseball Classic. CC Sabathia of the Cleveland Indians is also stepping aside, which is potentially a bigger problem for the United States than Wagner not playing. The US team now only has 3 starting pitchers - Jake Peavy, Dontrelle Willis and Roger Clemens - potentially a problem considering all the rules on the books. Lucky for the United......

Unfortunately Mike Cameron knows San Diego well. In August, he had that horrifying crash in the outfield with Carlos Beltran. Yesterday, Cameron was traded to the Padres for Xavier Nady, a right-fielder and first baseman. Assuming both players pass their physical, the Mets stand to save $5 million next year, something that already has local baseball writers speaking about Manny Ramirez. The trade would end a brief stint with the Mets for Cameron, who joined......

Six years after announcing Baseball's [no-Latino] All-Century team, Major League Baseball unveiled their "Latino Legends" team before last night's World Series game. The team was selected by fan voting with several local players making the team, Pedro Martinez of the Mets, Alex "I'm a Dog" Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera of the Yankees, Manny Ramirez who despite not wanting to play for the Mets and being on the Red Sox, is actually from Washington Heights, and......

In the end, the big deal didn’t happen. Desperate to add more offense, the Mets could not complete a blockbuster trade with the Red Sox to acquire Manny Ramirez. While the Ramirez trade would have been great for the Mets, most fans were hoping for more bullpen help at the very least and that didn’t happen either. So the Mets, who are only four games out of a playoff spot, will have to make do......

For the past 24 hours or so, people...okay, Mets fans, have been feverishly discussing the possibilities of Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez being traded to the NY Mets in a three way deal between NY, Boston, and Tampa Bay. Even though Ramirez is kind of bizarre, he is an incredible hitter, and fans and NY sports writers alike love the idea of this deal (the NY Post's headline is "He's a Headache...Get Him Anyway"). However,......

It was a game in July, but it felt like the middle of October. It is a game that you are going to have to watch to believe. It was a game that was for the ages. Last night's Yankees Victory over the Red Sox, more than just the completion of a sweep, it was a statement. The Yankees came into the series with a five and a half game lead over the Red Sox,......

With rain postponing yesterday's Game 4 of the Yankees-Red Sox ALCS, the Yankees and Red Sox mull the nutty antics from Saturday, as fines were levied against Yankees Karim Garcia and Don Zimmer and Red Sox Manny Ramirez and Pedro Martinez. Both front offices of the teams did their share of fingerpointing. Even Mayor Bloomberg got into the act, saying Martinez should have been arrested for pushing Zimmer: "If that happened in New York......
