Boston Red Sox

One night after a rare obstruction call, Jonny Gomes hit a decisive homer when he wasn't even in the original lineup and Koji Uehara picked off a rookie at first base for the final out. An entertaining, even goofy World Series is tied at two games apiece following Boston's 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, which ensured the title will be decided back at Fenway Park.

In perhaps the wildest finish imaginable, a rare obstruction ruling against Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks allowed Allen Craig to score with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and lift St. Louis over the Red Sox 5-4 Saturday night for a 2-1 edge in the World Series.

Michael Wacha won again in October and the St. Louis Cardinals got just enough help from Boston, beating the Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to tie the World Series at a game apiece.

Given a bit of help by the umpires and a lot more by the Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox turned this World Series opener into a laugher. Mike Napoli hit a three-run double right after the umps reversed a blown call, Jon Lester made an early lead stand up and the Red Sox romped past sloppy St. Louis 8-1 Wednesday night for their ninth straight Series win.

Down the stretch we come in the 2013 MLB Season.  With many division races still yet to be decided as well as the addition of the 2nd wild card per league, this years chase for October should be as compelling as ever.  Take a look at my most recent power rankings and see how you think they stack up...

Personally, I always wait until July to really start assessing the standings and power rankings for Major League Baseball.

Boston police are investigating what appears to be a suicide on Red Sox owner John Henry's yacht.

The Minnesota Twins entered the month of May with a lot of momentum and certainly a lot more optimism than they are feeling right now. After losing their final two games of their set to the Chicago White Sox earlier last week, they end up getting swept by the Boston Red Sox over the weekend...

David Ortiz insists he isn’t trying to do anything special to show the Minnesota Twins they made a big mistake by letting him go in 2002. It just looks that way. Ortiz homered twice and drove in six runs to torment his former team once again, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 12-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

The Minnesota Twins are heading home with a three-game winning streak. Doing it against the Boston Red Sox makes it more impressive.
