- This was interesting

- Peter Gammons names his postseason award choices

- Gordon Edes on the Red Sox (Note: Edes points out that even though Manny had a great year - his OBP was down 30 points. This is because last year Nomar hit in front of Manny and often made the final out. Manny would be first up and would be pitched around. This year with Ortiz behind him and Manny batting 3rd instead of 4th - he wasn't pitched around as much and the result was more HR but a lower OBP).

- HOLY CRAP! Sheffield admits to using steroids and says Bonds was the guy who put him in touch with BALCO!
