Dave Kaplan proves just what a swell guy he is over at his blog with his “The Hottest Wives and Girlfriends in Sports” post. Charmingly, he refers to all of the players’ wives by their husbands’ names – but allows them to have their own first names in parentheses, as in: Mrs. Zach Greinke (Emily) Mrs. Aaron Boone [...]

INDIANAPOLIS - Ghastly. This was as bad as anything the Red Sox ever did. Had it been a playoff game, it would be right up there with Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, Aaron Boone, and History Derailed in Glendale, Ariz.

This is an old-school matchup: Pedro v Pettite. These two have never faced each other in the postseason, though their respective teams at the times (Yankees, Red Sox) faced each other in the ALCS in 99 and 2003 in some of the most dramatic postseason series in history.

Ah, Bill Simmons aka ESPN's The Sports Guy . To know him is to either love him or hate him. To those that love him, his constant pop-culture riffs and irreverent takes on today's athletes make him seem like one of us: a fan. To those that would rather see him deleted from ESPN's archives, he's a Boston sports homer whose schtick has long since worn thin. Us? We love the guy. While his writing occasionally...
