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...

Agassi finally comes clean with conveniently-timed drug confession

Full Comment (Free subscription) | yesterday

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...

David Wells calls Joe Torre 'such a tool'

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,...

A walk down memory lane (World Series game 6 thread)

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...

Wakefield Wants Red Sox Wins Record

Tim Wakefield had back surgery (herniated disc) on Wednesday. Everything was awesome. The whole procedure went as planned and even post-op, meeting with the surgeon, Dr. [Lawrence] Borges, everything went perfect. He didn't see any further damage in there. He made sure everything was cleaned up and ready to go. It went perfect and I should be ready to go by Spring Training. The Red Sox have until five...

We heard of Barry Bond's doctor, Arthur Ting's boys getting juiced at USC. We witnessed Andy Pettitte's father scoring HGH for his boy. Roger Clemens's wife Debbie looked pretty youthful in the SI shoot. And possibly Romo's wife scoring something for him.

What a game

He pitched eight innings, allowed four hits and one walk, and struck out seven. His fastball was incredible, averaging 94 MPH and reaching 96. It actually increased in speed as the game went on.

Since the Yankees and Angels clinched and confirmed their date in the 2009 ALCS all I’ve heard about what a great team the Angels are. People are entitled to their opinions so I can’t bash anyone for that, but it did get me thinking about the Yankee teams that previously faced the Angels. In 2002 and 2005 the Yankees faced the Angels in the ALDS and both times were unfortunately bounced...

While steroid-tarnished Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte enjoys absolution as he tries to win the American League pennant, former teammate Roger Clemens remains under a cloud that will not go away until he faces the possibility of prison by coming clean as Pettitte did, a career-long friend says. "If he wants to go to the Hall of Fame," says Clemens' college teammate Rusty Uresti , "he's...
