Pedro, Roger, Bernie and Kim
The greatest rivalry in the history of sports has taken a hit. Pedro Martinez has announced that he will become a free agent at the end of this season. Pedro Martinez will be leaving the Red Sox “Nation” to join another “nation” unless the Red Sox produce enough Federal Reserve Notes to satisfy him.

A Good Off-Season?
This past Sunday, February 08, 2004, New York Times columnist Tyler Kepner wrote a fascinating article that illustrates why the Boston Red Sox have not won anything since the new ownership, headed by John Henry, has taken over. The Red Sox front office may not have learned as much as they think.

A Miracle?
If their four victories against the Yankees occurred in any other sequence in the best of seven series, the miracle would have been that the Red Sox won the World Series, not that they won a playoff series, but because they won the final four games against the Yankees after losing the first three, it became a miracle.

This season will see an escalation in the hyperbole. The Yankees and Red Sox play seven games in April, three at the end of June, three at the end of July, and six during the middle and end of September. No matter what happens in the April games, in July reasons will be given to explain why the results of the first seven games should be discounted.

Many years ago, a Yankees team had four Hall of Famers. Their main rival that season was the Boston Red Sox, a team that had not four but FIVE Hall of Famers, but it was the Yankees who won the pennant and swept the Reds in the World Series while Boston finished a distant second, 17 games out of first place.

It Really Is Offensive
Great pitching and defense often create excruciating tension which can be released with almost no warning at any time. In a 1-0 game in the eighth inning, every pitch and every play is important. A two run home run by the team with the lead puts the game out of reach while a two run home run by the trailing team turns the game around.

The 1967 Yankees: An Underrated Team?
Comparing teams from different seasons is subjective because the statistics are based upon a comparison between and among teams in a specific league in a specific year. One can compare the 1967 Yankees to any 1967 American League team and reach objective conclusions but one cannot objectively compare the 1967 Yankees to the 1965 Red Sox because they played in different leagues against different opponents.

It was one of the most horrible performances in World Series history but it has not received enough attention because the Red Sox finally won a World Series. The 2004 St. Louis Cardinals won 105 games, scored the most and allowed the fewest runs in the National League, had the second best ERA in the majors, and scored all of 12 runs while being swept in the World Series. They collapsed completely.

But Are They Really the Best?
Pitching has always been the most important part of winning. Offense almost always decreases dramatically in the playoffs and World Series because the teams that get to the World Series get there on pitching and defense. Now, with two rounds of playoffs before the World Series, it has almost become a rarity for the team with best regular season to get to the World Series, much less win it.
