The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist......

Rockies 4 Yankees 3: It’s funny how the longer you watch baseball, the more you tend to see things repeat themselves. In 2005, the Yankees used a big winning streak to get out of a deep hole and climb above .500, only to fall back to .500 and below when they got swept by the Royals in a series where they made way too many mental errors and only scored six runs in three games.......

-Pirates 3 New York 2: The Mets really know how to kill a party. With everyone primed for a division-clinching win on a weekend night, New York has punted twice. Pittsburgh scored with two outs in the ninth to win the game and prevent the Mets from clinching the NL East. While we know they will ultimately win it, it’s too bad they are going to make their fans head to work with hangovers.......

-Mets 2 Rockies 0: On a day when New York received grim news about Tom Glavine El Duque gave them a big lift. Hernandez was brilliant, giving up five hits while striking out eight and got all the support he needed from a Carlos Delgado home run in the second. Carlos Beltran added his 35th homer of the season in the sixth as the Mets swept Colorado and won their 75th game. -Yankees 8 Red......

-Mets 4 Dodgers 1: Alay Soler pitched seven innings of one run ball to get his first career victory after three starts. Jose Reyes started the game off with a home run and Carlos Delgado added his own two-run homer. It's nice to see the Mets game decided by more than one run. -Yankees 13 Boston 5: The Yankees’ farm system doesn’t get much respect in baseball circles, but it certainly is producing when they......

How many more times are we going to have to suffer through Tanyon Sturtze coming out of the bullpen? This is a guy who couldn’t cut it as a Devil Ray and now the Yankees view him as a key member of their bullpen? Since he became a Yankee in 2004, he has had two months where his ERA has been below 4, yet they keep trotting him out there, it’s infuriating. Yesterday, Sturtze came......

They had said it so often that you had to begin to believe it. “Bubba Crosby will be our centerfielder in 2006.” The Red Sox made a big trade, the Mets made big trades and signed Billy Wagner and nothing happened in the Bronx. It was getting too quiet. Tuesday night the Yankees changed all of that swooping in and signing Johnny Damon, the unfrozen-caveman centerfielder, formerly of the Red Sox. Damon will get $13......

It wasn’t pretty, but the Yankees slugged their way to another victory Tuesday beating the Orioles 12-9 and pulling to within a 1/2 game of the Wild Card lead. Aaron Small picked up the victory to improve to 9-0 and become the first pitcher in baseball to win his first nine games without a loss since the immortal Frank DiPino in 1989. Gary Sheffield was the offensive hero of the game for the Yankees, driving......

The Yankees and Alex Rodriguez will be sorry to see Detroit leave town. Three games, three victories, the last one courtesy of a go-ahead home run by A Rod in the fifth inning. For the series, Rodriguez went 5-8 with 3 homers and six RBI’s. Not a bad start to the week. Kevin Brown continued his resurgence, pitching seven innings for his fourth straight win. Since getting bombed by the Devil Rays on May 6th,......

That lottery pick going to Cleveland is probably looking pretty good to the Nets this morning. Despite a defense-heavy, double-overtime effort, New Jersey once again fell to Miami last night 108-105 at the swamp. Though Shaq was saddled with foul trouble and Richard Jefferson played great defense against Dwayne Wade, the Nets just couldn't put the game away. At one point, R.J. completely blew an uncontested lay-up...which is when Nets fans knew it was over.......

The Red Sox beat the Yankees 8-5 Thursday Night but that was a secondary event compared to the incident that occurred in the bottom of the eighth. Gary Sheffield was struck in the face by a fan while attempting to field a shot off of the bat of Jason Varitek. While TV replays were inconclusive, it appeared to this eye that the fan slapped Sheffield in the face. Whether or not the fan was attempting......

The Red Sox and David Wells have agreed to a two-year contract worth at least $8 million. Wells, the former girthy Yankee starter will join the Red Sox after one season with the San Diego Padres when he was 12-8 with a 3.73 ERA in 31 games pitched. Before joining the Padres, the 41 year old Wells had back surgery after two seasons with the Yankees. For those two seasons. 2002-03, Wells was 34-14 in......

[Photo by Couirey Eckmayer] Morning Theft, fresh off the bus from Boston in 2003, have been desribed as Pearl Jam meets Travis, Nirvana meets the Cure, the Pixies meets Radiohead...you get the point. But these guys have their own sound. And it sounds good. They're the band who has been (not so) silently brooding in the corner of the indie rock scene. They're loud. They're catchy. They're pensive mood rock. Gothamist (and pretty much......

...It just lays down and loses four straight games to its biggest rivals. In the span of four days, the Yankees managed to lose four games to become the first team in baseball post season history to be up three games to none and lose a seven game series. Gotta give credit where credit is due, the Red Sox have guts and they pulled off a miraculous series of wins. The biggest comeback and......

It was bound to happen, no? After the trouncing they received on Saturday night, it's a wonder that the Red Sox could even win a game in the AL Championship Series, but that's what they managed to do last night in 12 innings. The Sox won last night, or this morning, on a game winning two-run homer by David Ortiz off of Paul Quantrill. The game finally ended at 1:23, more than five hours after......

The Yankees came into this past weekend's series with the Red Sox with more than a few questions in their rotation and the Red Sox arrived in the Bronx on a hot streak and only 3 1/2 games behind the Bombers. With this series now over, the Yankees picked up a game to up their AL East lead to 4.5 with two weeks left in the regular season and some confidence in their starters. Game......

The Yankees had every right for being upset that the Devil Rays did not show up on Monday in time for the double-header, but asking for a forfeit is not the Yankee way. It shows signs of frustration and worst of all desperation. In case you have noticed, the Red Sox have been on fire of late and have narrowed a 10.5 game lead to 2.5 games as of this moment. The Red Sox......

The Red Sox are closing fast and still have six games left against the Yankees. Is the race on, or is over before it began? Discuss.......

It was a good and busy weekend at the Stadium for the Yankees. the Yankees managed to take three out of four games from Baltimore and increase their lead over the Red Sox to 9.5 games. The big trade that everyone wanted to see (Randy Johnson coming to the big Apple) did not happen, but Cashman was able to unload the inconsistent Jose Contreras for the steady Esteban Loaiza. On Friday night, Kevin Brown......

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,......

In honor of the baseball season heating up, Ask Gothamist ponders a very important question: What to do if you and your significant other root for rival sports teams? You can duke it out, but it's a losing battle on both sides. In our experience, these arguments tend to go something like this: YANKEES FAN: The Yankees are the best team in baseball! RED SOX FAN: Yankees suck! The Red Sox are so much better.......

Entering the weekend series with the Red Sox last night, Yankee coaches thought they would see a new Jos� Contreras. They were wrong. Contraras, worked on his delivery with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre, but still picked up the loss, giving up 5 runs in barely 3 innings of work. The Yankees went on to lose, 11-2 (box score). While Contraras pitched poorly, the offense was no better. Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams went......

With the World Series over, baseball teams shuffle their operations, starting with management and coaches. The Red Sox decided to let Grady Little go and now it looks like Don Zimmer, bull to Pedro Martinez's matador, may be leaving the Yankees organization. Why? He really hates George Steinbrenner. Zimmer told reporters, "When I say I won't be back, I won't be back. They could have a day for me. The answer would be no, and......
