An underperforming team had alienated Red Sox Nation. With Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford gone, fewer fans are holding their noses.
R.A. Dickey picked up his 16th win, and the Mets scored more than two runs in a game for the first time since Aug. 17 to snap a six-game losing streak.
Scott Radinsky has been introspective since the Indians fired him 111 games into the season, his first season as pitching coach.
Brandon McCarthy pitched seven solid innings as Oakland moved to a season-high 12 games over .500.
Roger Clemens started a game for the first time since 2007, pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Atlantic League.
More than 95 percent of Knicks season-ticket holders have renewed their plans during the off-season, while more than 90 percent of Rangers season-ticket holders have already done so, according to the teams.
A successful off-season, including an Olympic gold medal, has the veteran Carmelo Anthony excited for the Knicks’ training camp.
This year, Anthony Davis has won an N.C.A.A. title, was the top pick in the N.B.A. draft and won an Olympic gold medal with the United States team in London.

I swear to god, i the nhl lockouts this season, you might see me on the news. After I kill Gary Bettman. Best team Rangers have had since 94. Ad they might not play. Bet if there wasn’t the threat of a lockout, 99% of those tickets would be sold.
Also, this is right after the Rangers just put on a clinic about acquiring a superstar. “We need one of these two players if you’re going to get Nash. Preferably both.” “Yeah, we won’t be giving you either one.” “Okay, we’ll still trade you Nash.”
I still can’t believe the Rangers got Nash without giving up Kreider or McDonagh. If I was the Columbus GM, I’d have to get at least one of those guys.
