Chris Sale’s return could not have gone much better last night. The flamethrowing southpaw went 5 innings in his first start of the 2022 season, allowing no runs on 3 hits and a walk, striking out 5. He was efficient too, needing only 78...
Jeter Downs was a top-100 prospect and a future cornerstone middle infielder for the Red Sox before the 2021 season. He had missed all of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as did the vast majority of minor leaguers. But he was coming off a 2019...
The Red Sox have been red hot over the past month. I said they had a chance to save their season back on May 16th, due in large part to positive regression and a soft schedule. They did what they had to do against weaker competition, and now find...
The Celtics are the balls, but they’re also a rollercoaster. A somewhat predictable rollercoaster, I might add. This Celts ‘ squad is quite flawed for a team that is just two wins away from an NBA Championship. The best player on Boston (who...
Alex Cora shaved his beard earlier this season in an effort to jumpstart the struggling Red Sox. The date was May 10th. His team was 10-19 and had just lost their fifth straight. After a 9-4 victory over the Braves in his first game sans facial...
This week in Red Sox baseball has had no shortage of storylines. Trevor Story hit three jacks and knocked in seven last night. The team took two of three from the defending AL champs in the Houston Astros. All in all, it’s been a solid week of...
Trevor Story has been the biggest anchor of the Red Sox lineup so far in 2022, and I don’t mean anchor in a good way. I mean anchor as in something that slows everything down until you’re at a complete stop. The prized offseason...
“We need some leadership. Somebody that can calm us down and not get rattled when everything starts to go a little south. I think it snowballs between our guys,” said Celtics head coach, Ime Udoka, earlier this season. The Celts host a...
What a difference a year makes, huh? This time last season, the Pats were 4-6. Cam Newton was a shell of his former self. Bill Belichick was approaching his first losing season since 2000, his first year as New England’s head coach. When...
Barring some unforeseen event, Alex Cora will be in the Boston Red Sox dugout until at least 2024. What does this mean? It means the Sox have secured one of the best managers in all of baseball for a three-year contending window, at minimum. Never a...
The Pats walloped the Browns 45-7 this past Sunday. The defense stifled Cleveland’s offense. Mac Jones had a nearly perfect day. Jacobi Meyers finally scored his first NFL touchdown. The story of the day though, was Rhamondre Stevenson, the...
Odell Beckham Jr. recently signed with the Los Angeles Rams after being cut by the Cleveland Browns. While the Patriots were among the frontrunners to sign the talented wide receiver, who is in a bit of a career slump, the Rams swooped in to add him...
Reports are circulating that J.D. Martinez will opt out of the final year of his contract, thus becoming a free agent. While this might seem like bad news for the Sox, as they’d be losing their DH and main run-producer, there are many solid...
Boy, I really thought the ALCS was over after Game 3. The Red Sox pummeled the Astros 12-3 to take a 2-1 lead, burning through six Houston pitchers in the process. Houston had an undermanned pitching staff and cold bats. The Red Sox had scored 21...
Last week I tentatively assumed the Patriots would secure their first home win of the season when the Jets came to town this past Sunday. They were 0-4 in Foxborough at that point, somewhat shockingly. But I trusted Bill Belichick to take care of...
