ESPN figures out how to fix the Sox’s problems

The headline to Keith Law’s column on the woes of the Red Sox: “Prescription starts with more pitching.” (The full column’s only available to ESPN Insiders, but you don’t need to read it to get the point.)

Accompanying the piece, right next to a bit about how the Sox should play Wily Mo Peña as much as possible, is the following graphic:

I hear he has a helluva curve.

Tigers so good they’ve begun defying the laws of nature

From the ESPN.com Baseball Homepage:

“Talk about fast starts. Ivan Rodriguez and the Tigers scored five or more runs in their first at-bat for the third straight game in Monday’s 9-7 victory over the slumping Indians.”

Five runs in one at-bat. That really is incredible.
