Both Jose Veras and David Robertson were awful in a brutal eighth inning in which the Red Sox scored seven times and turned a two-run game into a nine-run laugher.

For those clining to the hope that the Yanks will extend their string of October visits to 14 straight seasons, keep this in mind: Teams that get outings like the one the Yankees got from Sidney Ponson Wednesday are usually home come October.

Aug 28 2008, 04:00:00 AM EDT
In a season that has not exactly met the Yankees' usual lofty expectations, there has been at least one constant that has allowed Joe Girardi to sleep well at least once every five days. That constant is Mike Mussina.

It used to be when Appalachian State ventured out of its own level of competition to play a major school, it meant only one thing. "It was a money game," coach Jerry Moore said. Like most schools playing in Division I college football's second tier, App State would collect a six-figure check to help pay the bills, get some national exposure, play in front of plenty of people and take a beating. The Mountaineers lost to North Carolina State, Kansas and LSU by a combined 83-18 in the 2005 and...

Thirty-five years ago, at Boston's Fenway Park, Ron Blomberg of the Yankees settled into the batter's box as the first designated hitter in the major leagues, turning a normal ballgame into a historic botch and the otherwise blameless date of April 6 into an eternal day of mourning. In all the years since, through drug scandals and illegal collusion and worse, baseball has offered nothing quite so offensive as the debut of the 10-man baseball team. Tonight, that changes. At Chicago's Wrigley...

One aspect where college football has its professional cousin beat is the lack of a preseason. College teams can, and do, schedule games against cupcakes to ease into the campaign. But others open with make-or-break games that can dash Bowl Championship Series aspirations before the season is three hours old. Even schools that are opening against overmatched opponents need to be wary just ask Michigan about Appalachian State last season. The 2008 season officially kicks off tonight with 14...

They were the talk of tennis a mere seven months ago: two flamboyant, up-and-coming stars of the game. One, Novak Djokovic, had dreamed of being no. 1 in the world since tennis courts were built near his home in the mountains of Serbia. The other, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a 200-pound specimen and master of the drop volley, had overcome several injuries and begun to fulfill the promise he showed as junior. When they met in the Australian Open final, they lit up the Melbourne evening with splendid...

PHILADELPHIA Daniel Murphy hit a tiebreaking double after Carlos Delgado's second solo homer had tied the game in the eighth and the New York Mets beat Philadelphia 6-3 last night to reclaim first place in the NL East. Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer and Jayson Werth homered for the Phillies, who fell a half-game behind the Mets in the division. One night after New York's bullpen blew a ninth-inning lead for the 10th time this season, the Phillies couldn't protect a one-run lead in the eighth...

Jason Bay drove in four runs, Dustin Pedroia hit a grand slam and the Boston Red Sox routed the listless Yankees 11-3 on last night, putting an emphatic dent in New York's dwindling playoff chances. Paul Byrd beat the Yankees in a crucial game for the second consecutive year, and David Ortiz reached base four times for the second straight night. Pedroia's first career slam capped a seven-run eighth inning and sent hordes of booing Yankees fans shuffling toward the exits. With co-chairman Hank...

Barring divine intervention, the Yankees' season is over. They will not win the American League East or the wild card. After the first game of the current series with the Boston Red Sox, the ever-vigilant scapegoat brigade spent its best efforts on Alex Rodriguez, and their efforts were bolstered by the man himself, who said, "Tonight you can put it on me." This was fair but overly generous, given that A-Rod didn't give up 10 hits and six runs in 4.2 innings. Andy Pettitte did. Rodriguez didn't...

Soccer fans can excuse themselves for missing the opening matches of England's Premier League season, given that action kicked off during the Olympics. Not to worry: The quality of early season play is far from the best, and the results can be misleading for projecting how everyone will fare over the season. The Olympics are now behind us, and sports fans can once again devote all of their early morning viewing to soccer. With that, here are three key story lines to follow for the Premier...

Ok, in lieu of an evening update, I figured I would give you the announcing teams for the NFL by network. I know many of you would like to know the teams and since Fox made its announcement earlier today , it completes the rosters for all of the NFL TV partners. So I'll give you each network including pregame show lineups.

The karma hasn't been right all season. Maybe it has something to do with Joe Girardi, and the clenched-jaw vibe he gives off, maybe it doesn't. But these Yanks haven't responded to tough times the way they did for Joe Torre.

Rangers have their first ever sweep (three games or more) at Kansas City. And Frank Francisco, who worked a perfect ninth, has his first major league save. Took him nine pitches to get a pair of strikeouts and a ground out. But it was against the Royals. Should that count.
