More photos » by J Pat Carter - AP Browse more photos » Slowinski asked what the Rays should do with Andy Sonnanstine last week. It's pretty obvious. The team needs a new catcher. I don't have to put two and two together for you. Now the concerns are pretty obvious. Can Sonnanstine catch? Of course he can. Look at how many times he's caught a throw from the catcher back to the mound. Can...

* weather permitting... I was there on Sunday, the beneficiary of a friend feeling under the weather, when the Yanks clinched American League pennant #40. It was made all the tastier because of the measure of payback the Yanks got against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in California of the West Coast of the United States, who'd sent the Yanks to some early October golfing in 2002 and 2005 .

The Mets weren't particularly close to a playoff spot on the morning of July 30th, 2004. They were in fourth place in the NL East, six games out of first and ninth in the Wild Card race. That didn't stop Mets GM Jim Duquette from trading for Victor Zambrano and Kris Benson in a pair of trades that evening. For Zambrano and Bartolome Fortunato, the Mets gave up Jose Diaz and Scott Kazmir. Kazmir hadn't...

I'm looking forward to tonight. John Lackey vs. CC Sabathia in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. But wait... The Yankees beat the Angels, 5-2, in Game 6 last night to win the AL pennant and advance to the World Series. Darn. That lead-in was what I was hoping to write for today's Baseball Beat. However, it wasn't meant to be. Aside from the differences in payrolls, the Yankees won...

Here are the words I've wanted to say for six years: The Yankees are going to the World Series! What a night. I stayed up very late rewatching all the coverage. How cool is it to have the Yankees finally going to the World Series? Hooray! I was also trying to figure out what we call this series - the Turnpike Tumult? CC and the Cheesesteak? Ben Franklin vs. the Benjamins? And will the Yankees run that...

It’s September and that means back to school, NFL betting kicks in and the Major League Baseball pennant races start. The expansion to include one wild-card playoff contender in each league began in 1995 and provides more excitement to the season for those teams and their fans. The wild-card race is open to all divisions across the American and National leagues adding to the thrill of the pennant race....
