Here’s a brief story I wrote for the magazine with some background about the decision to go national.
It recaps the rationale behind the publisher’s move on business and editorial grounds.
Day: October 3, 2003
No matter what happens tonight
It should be fun to watch this Prior-Maddux matchup.
I’m looking forward to it!
Is it over for the Red Sox?
Yes, they are one loss away from being booted from the playoffs, but I don’t think you can write off the Red Sox quite yet.
They are 53-28 at home this season, where they averaged 6.5 runs per game, compared to only 5.3 on the road. So there’s a significant possibility the offense can carry them at home and it’s already been announced that Martinez will pitch in game five, not game four.
So the Red Sox will know that if they can score some runs in these next two games against the weaker part of the A’s rotation, they could get back to Oakland with their stud on the mound. So no, it’s not over. Yes, it’s a long shot, but it is not over.
Wha’ happened?
Finally, at long last, have you found no weapons, sir?
Nope.
