The difference between experience and history is often as simple as punctuation. And hashtags. Anyone perusing a recap of the Detroit Tigers’ season-saving 7-5 win against the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series will learn the outcome of the game. They will read edited statements like “Delmon Young hit two of [...]
ST. LOUIS — The bumbling Brewers made four errors that led to three unearned runs, and the St. Louis Cardinals survived a short start by Jaime Garcia to beat Milwaukee 7-1 Friday night and take a 3-2 lead in the NL championship series.

The St. Louis Cardinals barely reached the playoffs, needing both a terrific winning streak of their own as well as a historic collapse by the Atlanta Braves just to see October baseball.

PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter grew up together with the Toronto Blue Jays, and the BFFs have spent plenty of time competing on golf courses and fishing boats.

DETROIT — With the season on the line and no better options, the Yankees sent A.J. Burnett to the mound and hoped for the best.
