williams strikes out, and a-fraud is robbed of a hit by hillenbrand....end first: 0-0

yeah john kruk who said the "big bust" would win 30 games this year!!!!! puh-lease! its a yankee sploogefest on baseball tonight.

ummm, that is exactly what he just said.

they're starting it in 2005, why not 2007 or 2008, a little early, huh? but I thought that number was the number of men left on base by a-rod.

Lineups: Red Sox: 1. Johnny Damon, CF 2. Edgar Renteria, SS 3. David Ortiz, DH 4. Manny Ramirez, LF 5. Trot Nixon, RF 6. Jason Varitek, C 7. John Olerud, 1B 8. Billy Mueller, 3B 9. Tony Graffanino, 2B Royals; 1. Chip Ambres, CF 2. Terrance Long, LF 3. Mike Sweeney, 1B 4. Matt Stairs, DH 5. Emil Brown, RF 6. Angel Berroa, SS 7. Mark Teahen, 3B 8. John Buck, C 9. Donnie Murphy, 2B strongest red sox lineup I have seen in a while.

we diidn't we're just saying hes a legit candidate, i just copied an article of redsox.com, he has a good shot as well as manny

uh oh we're facing another rookie starter, hope we can figure him out better than we did santana.

a DH should be given a chance just like a position player, so you don't think mariano should win the cy young cuz hes a closer? same argument there.

exactly its all about bias as I said earlier.

Word from fans on a thrasher message board is that Heatley requested this trade because of the Snyder situation. Apparently it was tough for him to stay, especially with Atlanta being far from a hockey town and Heatly being better known there as the guy who killed his friend than as a hockey star. Another rumor has it that Kovalchuk isn't sure he wants to play without Heatly and has held off negotiating his contract renewal until he knew what Danny was doing. reportedly the defenseman is de vries. This trade may do for Heatley's career what getting dealt out of Boston to Edmonton did for Craig MacTavish. MacTavish was playing for the Bruins in 1984, when he crashed his car into another, killing a woman. He had just left a notorious strip club and was drunk. Spent a year in prison for vehicular manslaughter, but after he was traded he ended up on 4 Stanley Cup winning teams.

Could this be sour aftertaste in Atlanta with Heatley and the Snyder fiasco? Unless that d-man is Redden (which it probably isn't), the Thrashers may have gotten thrashed in this deal. Hossa's good....but he needs talent around him to feed him the puck (not gonna be Ilya!) Heatley can create offense on his own. This is not good for the NE division Anyways This is not good. I'm a sabres fan and I would rather face Hossa, than Heatley any day...

However, the plot line has changed. Now, the Red Sox begin a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday trying to snap the Royals' two-game winning streak. The Royals had lost 19 in a row before snapping out of it. The Red Sox are also trying to finish this season-high, 10-game road trip with a winning record. After splitting the four-game series at Anaheim, the Sox are 3-4. Veteran left-hander David Wells will open the series for Boston. Wells is 15-3 lifetime against the Royals.

There's been some inconsistencies. We've sat down and thought about what's right for a long time.

Thrashers deal Heatley to Senators for Hossa By PAUL NEWBERRY, AP Sports Writer August 23, 2005 ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Thrashers traded Dany Heatley to the Ottawa Senators for Marian Hossa on Tuesday, a blockbuster deal of two high-scoring right wingers. The 24-year-old Heatley combined with Ilya Kovalchuk to give the Thrashers two of the NHL's most prized young players. The deal was finalized after Hossa signed a three-year, $18 million contract earlier in the day. Hossa led the Senators with 36 goals and 46 assists in 2003-04, the last season before the lockout. The Thrashers will also receive a defenseman, who has yet to be identified, in the trade. Heatley's best season was 2002-03, when he had 41 goals and 48 assists. He has been plagued by misfortune since then, most tragically when he was driving a car involved in a high-speed crash that killed teammate Dan Snyder. Heatley sustained a serious knee injury in the wreck that caused him to miss 51 games the following season. He returned to tally 13 goals and 12 assists in 28 games, but was injured again while playing in Switzerland during the lockout. A puck struck him in the face, breaking the orbital bone.

ahhhh well mr. leiter is on the mound today.

welcome, are you in the army and stationed there?

game 4 and game 5 ALCS, 'nuff said

why? because a yankee doesn't lead in that category?

doesn't being an MVP mean being a good sport too

a-rod does not get those clutch hits, he gets homeruns when the score is 6-0 or something. Think whatever yuo want, its not gunna change my mind. I suppose you think mariano should win the cy young too. manny leads the league in OF assists too.

wang has saved the season on the DL? I wouldn'y hold your breath on RJ being dominant again this year or ever.
