How good are the Rays? How important is it for the Sox to beat them? The answer to both is a resounding “very.” [Mouthpiece Sports]
Losing is losing and that’s all there is to it, so let’s just fill out the L column and call it a day.
What do the Rays and Twins have in common? (Hint: It rhymes with “schmembarrassed in a ridiculous dome.”)
The sports media longs for the World Series of yore – but no one’s really sure why.
To enjoy this year’s World Series is really nothing more than to revel in the same loathing and contempt we always have. And that’s a good thing.
