A bit of magic helps Giants win pennant

Royals like way they are trending
The Royals expect James Shields to be a difference maker. But were they close enough to being a playoff team before they added him? That's the question about the deal in which the Royals sent future All-Star Wil Myers to the Rays. It's too early to...

Jeter's ankle could leave Yankees in shackles
For 17 seasons, Derek Jeter has been the best reason to keep believing in baseball. His throwback approach has yielded daily excellence in the middle of the Yankees infield. He has kept life simple off the field, and that never seems to be a bad idea....

Ventura's heart into turning around Sox
Robin Ventura leads with his heart.
That's why he was flying into home plate on that awful night in Sarasota, Fla., 15 years ago. It's why he pushed himself beyond exhaustion in his recovery from an ankle damaged so bad it would ultimately require a rare...Tags: Kenny Williams, Jose Valverde, Chris Sale, Adam Dunn, Miguel Cabrera

Key to Wrigley renovation: Will it lead to a title?
Quaint ballparks are cool, no question about it. But they don't win championships.

It's time for Wrigley Field scoreboard to …
Go ahead. Get the tar and feathers. Or I'll stack the wood and bring the matches. Not being a Chicagoan by birth, I know I should just stay away from your sentimentality. If you think ketchup on a hot dog is an act of subversion, so be it. I'm not...

No surprise that U.S. is out of WBC early again

Your Morning Phil: WBC, Appel, Torre
MIAMI – Talking baseball while wondering how badly Tiger Woods blows away the field at Augusta: 1.
