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....

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

AL stretch run should be a wild one
You can't quite see it from here, but the finish line is about to appear in the distance for baseball's oversized pack of contenders. The collapses by the Red Sox and Braves last season caution against reaching any conclusions at this point. But for...

Win-or-go-home games becoming norm

Tigers never had a chance against Giants
DETROIT -- Ryan Theriot is living the dream. Brandon Crawford too. Ditto the rest of the San Francisco Giants, who shed a .346 hitter like it was nothing, then swept a World Series. Gregor Blanco more than replaced Melky Cabrera and manager Bruce...

Giants dominance made for short Series, low ratings
In previewing the World Series in recent years, the Fox people expressed just one wish — for a long series. They said it didn't matter who was playing.
