Projections are what they are, but they are still fun to look at. All in all, I would say the ZiPs projections are a bit more realistic than the Bill James projections because ZiPs tends to be a bit conservative. Aside...

Globe colleague Tony Massarotti spoke to Tim Wakefield about his new two-year, $5 million deal. It sounds like this will be the final contract for the 43-year-old. "Yes, I’m done after two more,’’ Wakefield said. "That’ll put me at 45." Wakefield has 175 wins with the Red Sox, 18 away from breaking the franchise record held by Roger Clemens and Cy Young. The two-year...

Full Comment's Araminta Wordsworth brings you a regular dose of international punditry at its finest. Today: Roger Clemens doesn't want to discuss allegations he used drugs to enhance his performance. Mark McGwire virtually disappeared rather than answer similar questions. Barry Bonds doesn't talk much, period. Andy Pettitte and Alex Rodriguez just wish the issue would go away. But Andre Agassi seems...

In an article he wrote for the NY Post - Right before Game 5 (of the 2003 World Series), I had back spasms. I threw five or six warm-up pitches and told pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre to get another pitcher ready because I wasn't going to make it. Mel was like, "No, you can do it." I threw maybe 10 warm-up pitches total in the bullpen -- I spent most of the time lying on my back -- and said,...

Anybody who knows anything about baseball – or sports in general – know the baseball legends. They know Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, even Derek Jeter. But also, they know Ty Cobb. They know the tremendous player he was, but also – and perhaps unfortunately so – they know what kind of person he [...]

YES!!! THE YANKS ARE BACK AT THE TOP OF THE BASEBALL WORLD, WHERE THEY BELONG, WITH CHAMPIONSHIP #27! This season has been great to all of us, so many great moments, so many to remember, and its hard to narrow them down to 10, but I will do that, and I think the other guys on the blog will too. MY TOP 10 2009 MOMENTS: #10. You know what, I know that it'll sound stupid, but all of the walkoff wins this...

At Yankee Stadium last night, a young man born in Japan decades after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought joy to, among others, a generation of Americans who fought his ancestors in World War II. As the Most Valuable Player in this year's World Series, Hideki Matsui joined the pantheon of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and other hyphenated Americans of the last century in Yankee lore....

Yankee fan or not, I think we'd all like to pitch the first ball of the World Series, or get the double play at second base, or even be the bat boy for the big game. Part of the American consciousness centers around baseball and every fan, from the little league team players to the old timers who remember when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, was tuned into the great spectacle that was the World Series....

Now that the Yankees have won their 27 th franchise World Series and the baseball season has come to a sad close, it's time to start thinking about the awards. Sure, CC Sabathia was the American League Championship Series MVP, Ryan Howard his counterpart in the NLCS , and now Hideki Matsui has been named the 2009 World Series MVP, but those are the tip of the iceberg in terms of this season's awards....

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. Let’s take a look at their numbers from those years 1999 : 1999 was Pedro’s best season, and (probably, since I’m...

It's a good thing that I've seen Yankee repeat championships before. However, can you imagine how insufferably gritty the Phillies will become if they come back to win this thing?

As much as people love to debate the Cy Young and MVP results every year, the problem is that rarely can anyone be absolutely certain that their suggested pick is the right one. There are so many different ways of evaluating who was the best pitcher or who was the most valuable player that, as much as fans live to call other people and especially the award voters stupid, these awards make it hard,...
