Share this: Russell Wilson was already nursing an ankle injury. Now, that’s the least of his worries. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback left Sunday’s blowout 38-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers twice due to what the team is calling a sprained left knee. Wilson’s knee bent horrifically in the wrong direction during one play in which he was scrambling to his right, and he left the game but returned after missing only one snap. He later left the game again and was fitted with a left knee brace. He intends to play in Week 4, and said he could have returned Sunday if the game was close. Some reports are speculating that Wilson has a sprained MCL, but it appears his ACL fortunately is

Red Sox Notes: Rick Porcello First Boston Pitcher To Win 22 Games Since Pedro Ma…
Share this: In case you haven’t heard, this Rick Porcello guy has been having a pretty good season. The Red Sox starter helped lead Boston to its 10th straight win Saturday with a 6-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. And because Porcello earned the decision, he became the first Red Sox pitcher to win 22 games since Pedro Martinez won 23 in 1999. Now, no one is about to compare Porcello to Martinez. The latter had a ridiculous 1999 season, during which he went 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and a whopping 313 strikeouts to win the American League Cy Young Award. But Porcello is in the running for this year’s award and isn’t doing too shabby himself at 22-4

Red Sox Notes: Boston’s Confidence Continues To Grow As Postseason Nears
Share this: Remember when Kevin Millar famously told The Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy, “Don’t let (the Boston Red Sox) win today?” Well the rest of the American League East probably should re-watch “Four Days in October” right about now because Boston is leaving them all in the dust. The Red Sox are 13-5 in September after picking up their sixth straight victory Tuesday in a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles, and those six straight wins have come against the New York Yankees and Orioles. That successful stretch has the Red Sox sitting pretty atop the AL East, and their magic number to clinch the division now is down to eight. They have a 91.5 percent chance to win the division, according to MLB.com, and their postseason
