Evans Clinchy | Dirty Water
October 21This article is the first in a 17-part series chronicling the unbearable pain caused by being a Red Sox fan in light of recent events that occurred in St. Petersburg, Fla. The words that follow will likely be self-deprecating, self-loathing and self-pitying. The author will likely ignore the fact that 29 other teams in major league baseball have fans and that those fans are human beings with real emotions and real feelings and all that stuff. If you are a fan of one of those 29 teams, you should probably not read any further. In fact, just turn the page right now. Go on, do it. Read a gallery review or something. Seriously. Go.

Beasts of the East: Why the Phillies will win the World Series
October 21The Philadelphia Phillies have long been the loveable losers of Major League Baseball. Originally founded in 1883, the Phillies have only won six pennants and one World Series in their entire existence. They also hold the dubious honor of having lost the most games of any club in major league history. Being from Philadelphia, they fit right in, where the last major sports team to win a championship was the 76ers in 1983.
