From Paolo Bandini of the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/global/2009/oct/25/wembley-new-england-patriots-tampa-bay-buccaneers An online poll run by Fox Sports last week found that 58% of its readers felt London should host nothing more than a pre-season game. In the comments section...

My Picks: AL MVP- Mauer with Jeter as runner up Sox MVP- I'd pick Bay, followed by Ellsbury AL Cy Young-Greinke. No contest, with Verlander a distant 2nd Sox best arm-Lester. Just hope he & Beckett & Bucholz bring it in the PO's. Your picks?

Moss 12 receptions 140 yards 0wens-2 catches, 45 yards, 1 pass interference, one big drop More important than the stats was their difference in attitude. While Randy inspired his team and fans all night, Owens sulked on the bench by himself and had no comment after the game. The body...

Patsfans is the best by far. But I browse SOSH for baseball, and they have a very active Patriot board. Any others you like?

Jungle drums are beating in the Bronx. If you are looking for a good read, check out the Yankee message boards. After getting swept by the Sox again, their "fans" are calling for Girardi's and Cashman's heads. They're blasting the new billion and a half stadium with price gouging, leaving the...

Celts need to close it to get some much needed rest. It ain't gonna be easy in Chicago. Watch for the Bulls to slam Rondo in the paint for Miller payback. Rondo, Pierce, Big Baby and Perk are coming up big. It's time for the others to step up-especially the bench. Go Green! It's been an...

After Ray's clutch three pointer to beat the Bobcats last night, I was thinking that he has the best pure stroke (counting free throws) since Reggie Miller. Your opinion?

Curt Schilling to retire I've always had mixed feelings about you. You came up big in the big games (bloody sock, etc). But your mouth was even bigger. At least the Sox don't have to pay you $8 mil for doing nothing like they did last season.

Nice article by CHB about a local boy making it. I just wish it wasn't against the C's: Granite Stater was rockin' Looks can be deceiving because Matt Bonner and the Spurs came up a little bigger than Kevin Garnett and the Celtics yesterday. (Jim Davis/Globe Staff) By Dan Shaughnessy...

No excuses. You were the better team. When you beat the best, you become the best. It's a great story when a small market team goes from worst to first in one season. Now go kick the Phillies' asses.

Gutsy effort by Josh tonight. But what about Oki, Masterson (after they settled him dowm) and Pap. Pap now has a major league record 25 scoreless innings in the playoffs. Un-believeable! Keep it up, guys. You've been terrific all year. Just one game to glory.

I can't believe the negativity on this board (football side too). Baseball is a game where the best teams lose 4 out of 10 games. One bad game, even one bad play, will cause a few spoiled kneejerk frontrunners here to say how much Varitek or Lester or Papi or Beckett sucks, This happened in '04...

I pick the Sox in six. You?

OK, let's play manager here. Who gets the ball in game one Friday night? It's a best-of-seven series. Dice-K will have the most rest, but what about Beckett? Both were sub-par against the Angels, and need to bounce back. With normal rest, Lester should start game 2 and 6, if necessary. And what...

There were several stars last night. Bay, Papi, Jacoby, (What a catch! Speed never slumps.), and of course Lester for a brilliant performance. But to me the player of the game was Jason Varitek. Tek took control with his handling of Lester and Masterson, two gifted youngsters who could have...

Looks lilke the Sox will open against the Angels, or if they win the dvision, the White Sox. I would start Beckett in the opener, followed by Lester, Daisuke and Byrd. Long innings, if needed, from Wake and Colon. Set-ups by Lopez, Okijima and Masterson, with Pap closing. I would use Decarmen...

If they're going deep into October the Sox need more than Lester, Daisuke and Wake. Huge question marks with the B Boys-Byrd, Beckett, Bowden, Bucholtz and Bartolo. If Byrd and Beckett come through, the Sox are well placed. As for the pen, they're looking better. Lopez and Masterson have...

Did you have visions of this kid in a Patriot uniform when he pulled up in the last 10 meters of the 100 meter final-and still broke his own world record? Before you die laughing, once upon a time the Cowboys drafted another unrefined World's Fastest Man in the 7th round. Bob Hayes, also a...

Damon's return is delayed. Matsui may face season-ending surgery Wang may or may not return in September. And best of all, is speculation that the Skanks may sign Barry Bonds! It's too much to hope for, but maybe they'll bring back Clemens. Roger, Barry and Giambi would be a pharmacist's...

As always, lots of buzz on this series. Great outing by Lester Friday night and by Josh today. I'm sitting through the rain delay (top of the 8th with a 6-3 Sox lead), and as bad as the Sox played against the Rays, they're still 5 games ahead of the Skanks, 6 if they can hold the lead...
