A-ROD

Alex Rodriguez officially became a former ex-New York Yankee and is up for free agency. The third baseman has decided to move on from New York, losing the last $72 million guaranteed in his old contract. Rodriguez had made his decision to become a free agent before the Yankees fired manager Joe Torre, but did not make it official until October 28. Possible future destinations for A-rod include the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels or the New York Mets. No teams have made any official comment.

Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox have completed a sweep of the Colorado Rockies to win the 2007 World Series. The Sox won Thursday nights game with a score of 4-3 in Colorado. Third baseman Mike Lowell won the MVP honors, hitting a home run, a double and scoring twice for Boston. Entering the game with three wins in hand, the Red Sox chances of finishing off Colorado were very high. Without huge contributions from superstar Manny Ramirez, the Sox relied on excellent pitching as well as active bats. The fourth game had the closest score, but the other games were very high scoring, in Boston’s favor. With the win, Boston has won their second world series in just four years.

Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-16 Sunday. Minnesota had an early lead, but the Eagles gained the lead in the second quarter and never looked back. Quarterback Donovan McNabb threw for 333 yards and a touchdown, while running back Brian Westbrook scored two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. Both touchdowns game from the red zone, a place the Eagles have struggled to score from all year. Philadelphia improves to 3-4 on the season while the Vikings

Flyers vs Bruins

The Philadelphia Flyers came away with the win in Boston against the Bruins Oct. 27. Trailing by one early, the Flyers responded with two second period goals by Mike Richards and Joffrey Lupul. The Flyers improved to 7-3-0 with the win, while the Bruins suffered their first loss on home ice in four games. Their record now stands at 6-4-0. The biggest news from the game aside from the goals came in the first period, when Philadelphia defensemen Randy Jones hammered Bruin’s forward Patrice Bergeron into the wall, knocking him out instantly. Bergeron was removed from the ice via stretcher and sent straight to the hospital for examination. He was released from the hospital the next day, Oct. 28. Bergeron suffered a concussion as well as a broken nose. No further statements have been released regarding injuries or when he may see the ice again. Jones is suspended for the next 2 games.
