The Red Sox got their wish, for right or wrong. Two more months of Manny Ramirez were too much. They start anew tonight, still in control of the wild card.

In the wake of the tragic death last month of former Buzzards Bay Regatta chair D. J. Walsh, racers and volunteers in this year's event are "fired up," according to 2008 BBR chairman Jack Gierhart.

A pending Rhode Island state-record striped bass was caught just 1 mile off Block Island last week by Peter Vican of R.I., according to Tom Meade's Outdoor Notes column in the Providence Journal. Vican and his fishing partner, Don Smith, were drifting...

CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr. is leaving home to get back in a pennant race.

BOSTON — The Manny Ramirez era in Boston is over, his homers and headaches shipped far, far away to Los Angeles.

Dec. 13, 2000: Manny Ramirez signs an eight-year, $160 million free agent contract with the Red Sox.

It was clear Manny Ramirez wasn't happy in Boston. It appears Jason Bay, the man expected to fill his shoes, will be.

It was the bottom of the sixth inning when some leaky fielding led to a rally for the Yellow team against the White team in Colt-Palomino action Wednesday night at Buttonwood Park in New Bedford.

Success could make things harder on some of the age 17-19 baseball players en route to Wexford, Pa., today for the East Zone tournament that will produce a finalist for the PONY Palomino World Series Aug. 8-11 in San Jose, Calif.

FOXBORO — Brandon Meriweather simplified his rookie training camp with a two-step plan: "I pretty much tried to keep my mouth shut and learn my playbook," the Patriots' second-year safety said Thursday morning.

FOXBORO — Even rookies can count.

The South End Youth Athletic Association 10-year-old all-stars are taking the league's first regional title in 15 seasons and taking it to Virginia, in hopes of earning a ticket to the PONY Mustang World Series in Texas.

Manny Ramirez has been traded from the Red Sox to the Dodgers in a three-team deal that lands Jason Bay from the Pirates.

BOURNE – Coastal Carolina’s Nick McCully improved to a perfect 4-0 on the season with an impressive outing in Bourne’s 5-4 win over first-place Falmouth in Cape Cod Baseball League action last night.

MASHPEE – Mashpee has a shot at defending its Cape Cod Women’s Soccer League postseason title.

Red Sox cut ties with controversial, disgruntled left fielder Manny Ramirez.

Earlier in his career – even five years ago – the former Colt, Lion and Seahawk would never have thought he’d be wearing a Patriots jersey and practicing in Foxboro.

By the time Grant Green and Mark Fleury provided late-inning offensive heroics, Harwich pitcher Chris Manno’s All-Star game performance was largely forgotten. But the Duke lefty was arguably the best pitcher in the game.

Nick McCully was supposed to pitch out of the bullpen for Bourne, but when the roster didn’t come together as planned, manager Harvey Shapiro put him in the starting rotation.

Chris Thoms, 27, has been an official scorer in the Cape League for 10 years, since he was a junior at the Groton School. A math major, he attended Harvey Mudd College in California for one year before graduating from Bowdoin.
