Rangers Beat Justin Verlander, Tigers in Twice-Delayed Game 1 of ALCS

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nelson Cruz broke a postseason slump with a home run, and the Texas Rangers beat Detroit's Justin Verlander 3-2 Saturday night as rain followed the Tigers ace and caused nearly two hours of delays in the AL championship series opener. The defending AL champion Rangers scored all their runs off Verlander before the game was interrupted twice for a total of 1 hour, 50 minutes in the top of the fifth. David Murphy hit an RBI single in the second and scored on Ian Kinsler's single, and Cruz's leadoff homer in the fourth made it 3-0. In between the delays, Austin Jackson doubled in a run and scored on a wild pitch by Rangers starter C.J. Wilson. Alexi Ogando, the

Did Dan Shaughnessy Jinx Red Sox Season With Comments on NESN During Rain Delay of Game 162? (Video)

On Thursday, Boston Globe sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy declared this Red Sox season "the greatest choke in baseball history." On Wednesday night, however, he had a very different outlook on how the year would play out."The one thing we have eliminated tonight is that the Red Sox season is not going to end," declared Shaughnessy during NESN's broadcast of the rain delay in the final game of the Red Sox season. "They live to play another day." It seemed like a safe assumption at the time that the Tampa Bay Rays would lose and at the very least, the Red Sox would have a chance at a one-game play-in game on Thursday. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Shaughnessy was wrong. "The Rays aren't

Theo Epstein, Terry Francona Will Share Heat Following Red Sox Loss As They Search for Answers

by Tony Lee on Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 2:40AM   Theo Epstein and Terry Francona have been linked for eight years in the Red Sox organization. They've been lauded together as the central figures in the best decade in team history. This month, they were side-by-side as targets in a budding rumor that suggested the two were not seeing eye-to-eye. And on Wednesday night at Camden Yards, they were paired once more in a quest for answers. "This is one for the ages, isn't it?" Epstein said in the moments after a gut-wrenching loss teamed with a Tampa Bay Rays win to end Boston's season. "We played poorly in September. You can't sugarcoat this. This is awful. We did it to

Ryan Lavarnway Says Weight Hasn’t Been Lifted Off Red Sox’ Shoulders Yet, Ready to Do What It Takes to Earn Playoff Berth

Ryan Lavarnway made his first start behind the plate on Tuesday night in Baltimore. Yet he treated the big game as if he was a seasoned veteran. Lavarnway blasted two home runs to help lead the Sox to an 8-7 victory and keep them deadlocked atop the AL wild-card race with the Tampa Bay Rays. The two bombs were the first of his career, and he drove in four RBIs in total. After the game, Lavarnway spoke with NESN's Heidi Watney about his at-bats, as well as a crucial defensive play he made late in the game on what looked like a swinging bunt. He also talked about how important it is for the Sox to come out and keep fighting on
