DENVER -- Mile high or sea level, nothing is stopping the Boston Red Sox. Even when the Colorado Rockies rallied late, their chance to turn around their fortunes vanished into Coors Field's thin air.

Rookies Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia sparked the Red Sox from the top of the order, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and Boston won 10-5 last night. The Red Sox are now one win from a World Series sweep.

World Series
Players feel the difference at new heights

DENVER -- Enough with all the haranguing about the humidor. What visitors to Coors Field really agonize over is the altitude.

The air is thinner in the Mile High City, which means even humidified balls don't break as well as they do at sea level. Players get winded faster and face a host of complications such as chills, cramps, dehydration, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, lethargy and nosebleeds.
Welcome to the first World Series played at 5,280 feet.

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Orioles trade Tejada to Astros

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/player/85286
Miguel Tejada got his wish ? albeit a couple of years later than he wanted.

Tejada was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Houston Astros for five players on Wednesday, giving the former AL MVP a fresh start on a team looking to boost its lineup.

The Orioles got outfielder Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, and third baseman Michael Costanzo, Baltimore president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said.
The deal was first reported by FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Two winters ago, Tejada caused a stir in Baltimore when he said was unhappy with the Orioles' direction and wanted to be traded. He later backed off that stance.

Did anyone else see ESPN "surprise" Miguel Tejada with his Dominican birth certificate on sportcenter? Maybe its just me, but I'm getting tired of "investigative" sports journalism.

If you didn't see it, and I don't know why this is bothering me so much, but some ESPN douche brings Tejada in for an interview and then springs the birth certificate on him during the interview like he was friggin' Mike Wallace. Tejada, obviously surprised, leaves the interview.

I just hate how enititled sports journalists are these days, especially on ESPN. Just give me the scores and maybe some practice update, please.

Who gives a crap if Miguel Tejada is 2 years older than he said he was almost 15 years ago?

Ok, sorry, Im done.
