Authorities have announced charges against the owner of a beauty clinic that allegedly performed a botched buttock job on Mexican rock star Alejandra Guzman.

CHICAGO - There was no Notre Dame T-shirt this time, no sunglasses hanging from the collar, but as Yankees general manager Brian Cashman walked out of the general managers' meetings on Wednesday, it was in much the same state as when he arrived.

World Series MVP Hideki Matsui became a free agent Monday along with New York Yankees teammates Johnny Damon, Eric Hinske, Jose Molina and Xavier Nady.

So, the Yankees have won the World Series for the 27th time. Hooray! It has been a while.

It's a moment Shane Victorino is going to be reminded of over and over and over.

Derek Jeter paused at the question. "Can you hear anything here that you haven't heard in Boston?" Jeter was asked prior to a Citizens Bank Park workout yesterday in preparation for tonight's World Series Game 3 against the Phillies.

Three hours before Game 5 of the World Series, Yankees manager Joe Girardi was asked a question about his roster, and he quite literally could not answer it.

Brad Lidge's perfect postseason is history. In his first World Series appearance since striking out Eric Hinske to clinch the title last year, Lidge gave up three runs in the ninth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies lost 7-4 to the New York Yankees in Game 4 last night.

It's been three years since Hideki Matsui has played any right field and a season-and-a-half since he has been in the outfield at all.

Joe Girardi stuck with Nick Swisher though thick, thin and thinner. But after his 0-for-3 in Game 1 of the World Series, the Yankees manager finally made a change.

Rays senior adviser Don Zimmer said Pedro Martinez is the one who is wrong this time, disputing the version Martinez shared Wednesday of their 2003 ALCS Fenway Park throwdown.

Though, not surprisingly, the Yankees have emerged as the favorite to beat the Phillies in the World Series, general manager Brian Cashman doesn't see it that way.

Brad Lidge was right in the middle of three celebrations this month, getting the last out when the Philadelphia Phillies clinched the division, advanced in the playoffs and won the pennant.

When Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske to win the World Series last year, that moment created a memory for just about every Phillie fan.

He is in the first year of a $180-million contract, so we know Mark Teixeira can afford a gift basket.

While the majority sentiment has focused on over-managing and the alleged Mariano Rivera spitball, ita s an entirely different issue that may have cost the Yankees a nine-inning win last night.

Phil Hughes wasn't especially bad in the division series, but he wasn't especially good either, and the Yankees believe they've pinpointed the problem.

The Yankees purchased Freddy Guzman from the Baltimore Orioles in late August because they wanted an extra pinch-runner for the playoffs for the days Brett Gardner starts in the outfield.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi isn't keen on adding more video replay to disrupt baseball's flow but he'd be okay with a system that could make a decision in a few seconds.
