With one swing of the bat, so many things go wrong for the Red Sox

When I heard Paul Konerko hit his grand slam while driving this evening, my heart sank. I thought all emotion was over once my team got eliminated... but I guess not.I really wanted Jon Lester to get 20 wins... Not going to happen.I wanted Jon Lester to get Cy Young consideration... Not going to happen.And I wanted the Red Sox to get to 90 wins.Well after this sweep, there's a chance they won't

IN HONOR OF KENNY LOFTON

The well traveled veteran who made a memorable cameo with the Giants in 2002...A man who played in 11 post seasons in his 16+ big league seasons but somehow never won a ring...The lead off man who homered in the Giants Game 1 victory in the 2002 NLCS over St. Louis...But he saved his most heroic moment for last when he singled home David Bell in the bottom of the 9th to end Game 5 and clinch the

IN HONOR OF BILL TERRY

The greatest first baseman the Giants ever had before moving to San Francisco...The man who in 1930 batted .401, had an OPS of 1.071, hit 23 homers with 129 RBI while striking out only 33 times. A good guy to have on your fantasy team...The man who had the unenviable job of replacing John McGraw as Giants manager...In his first full season as manager he led the Giants to the 1933 World Series,

IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY... September 30, 2010

September is over after today... teams that are still alive tomorrow can officially say they were in it into October. But how far?Time is running out on San Diego and despite a slew of injuries the Braves just might limp across the finish line. The Giants have all but clinched a better record than the Reds (2 games up with 4 to play is hard enough to make up for Cincinnati... but San Francisco
