Beasts of the East: Why the Phillies will win the World Series

October 21

The 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.

The Rays and Red Sox gave us a hell of a first inning in Game 6 of the ALCS on Saturday night, as James Shields executed a beautiful (we can only presume) pickoff of Coco Crisp, B.J. Upton hit his seventh home run of the postseason, and Jed Lowrie and Dustin Pedroia turned two for the Sox to retire the side.

Crew | Jumbos finish fall with mixed results at international regatta

October 19

This weekend, thousands of fans huddled around the three-mile long section of the Charles River in Cambridge to watch hundreds of boats take to the 'dirty water.' Turning their attention away from the whipping winds and the surprisingly stiff October cold that harassed the rowers all weekend long, the droves of fans were treated to exciting competition on the water as well as plenty of body-warming food and drink along the edges of the river.

Baseball | Rays-on d'etre: Tampa Bay earns first Fall Classic berth

October 19

The Tampa Bay Rays celebrate at Tropicana Field after defeating the Boston Red Sox 3-1 in Game 7 of the ALCS last night. The Rays join the 1991 Atlanta Braves as the only two teams in baseball history to reach the World Series despite having the worst record in baseball the year before. Starting pitcher Matt Garza was named the series MVP after hurling seven innings of two-hit baseball in the clincher.
