TUESDAY Bo Bichette became the first Met to homer on the first pitch the Mets saw since Brandon Nimmo off Adam Wainwright on June 17, 2023 Craig Kimbrel struck out three batters swinging in an outing for the 63rd time in his career, but only the fifth time since the start of 2022. One of […]
Worcester: L, 3-6 (BOX SCORE) Jack Anderson got taken for a ride in that middle relief spot as the Red Wings (Nationals AAA) put this one out of reach for the WooSox. While Worcester didn’t have the same luck the Red Sox did with runners in scoring position, going 3-for-8, the lack of baserunners to […]

As this season played out, most Sixers fans were probably unmoved or even disappointed with head coach Nick Nurse. The ones that were unmoved were probably set in their ways that the team was stuck in a holding pattern, waiting out the big contracts of Joel Embiid and Paul George and there wasn’t much the head […]
Just wanted to highlight this post, which was well thought out and presented in an organized fashion. In particular I liked the section on living and dying by the 3. I think most would agree that the 3 pointers have served us very well over the years and this isn’t a “they are shooting too […]
No need to panic over Ranger Suarez’s hamstring injury just yet. The injury is said to be minor and Suarez himself sounds optimistic: “[H]opefully I don’t miss anything and I can [make] my next start.” But even if this particularly injury doesn’t sideline Suarez for so long, there’s no question that the various hits to […]
BOSTON — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid had the last laugh on Saturday night. F**k Embiid! F**k Embiid! F**k Embiid! In the second quarter of Game 7, as Embiid took a trip to the free-throw line with over five minutes left, that was the only thing the 2023 NBA MVP could hear. Boston Celtics fans, […]
We are defined by our choices. The ones we make, the ones we don’t, and those we make too late. For their last game of the season, the Celtics will be remembered for the latter. The first decision that defined the game, and how it will be remembered, was the starting five. It’s not about […]
Good morning to fans of a first-place team.
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the fourth day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
That week sucked, man. Even with a couple of wins for the Red Sox here and there, I think we can go ahead and generally chalk up the recent play we’ve seen one week into the post-Cora era as “uninspiring” as this dreadful start to the season slugs along. Another series L against Houston only […]
Thoughts on the Boston Celtics 3-4 series loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, and what's to come this summer.
Hello and happy Monday, folks. The Boston Red Sox baseball club is at it again tonight. They travel to Detroit to face the Tigers in the first of a three-game series. First pitch from the Motor City is 6:40 EST. The best lefty on the planet will be taking to the mound, as Payton Tolle […]
We’re a little over a week away from the NFL Draft, and about a week before the 2026 schedule comes out. So, what better time to try to predict the New England Patriots’ opening 53-man roster? I know it’s early, and we haven’t seen anyone of these rookies even on the field yet — they […]
The Detroit Tigers wrapped up a series win over the visiting Texas Rangers on Sunday with a 7-1 victory at Comerica Park. Spencer Torkelson went yard for the sixth time this season to give his team a lead that the bullpen would not relinquish. On Monday, the Motor City Kitties kick off the second half […]
Boston Celtics fans are in unfamiliar territory today. The Conference Semi-Finals are starting and the Celtics aren’t one of the eight remaining teams. The Celtics’ unexpected loss in seven games to the Philadelphia 76ers was just the second time in the last 10 seasons that Boston was eliminated in the first round. The other was […]
Folks, I have the unfortunate duty today to welcome you to…the offseason. The Bruins officially checked out of the playoffs via Friday night’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, ending a better-than-expected season sooner than we had hoped. But the playoffs wait for no one’s sorrows, with things moving right along across the NHL: two second […]
In the 1960’s, there were three great teams in the NBA: the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and whoever Wilt Chamberlain was playing for at the time. The Celtics were built around Bill Russell, while the Lakers were crafted around Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. The Lakers never won a championship during Russell’s time […]
While not undergoing the drastic changes of the last two offseasons, the New England Patriots coaching staff is still going to look different heading into 2026. The most prominent change happened on defense. Terrell Williams, the team’s nominal defensive coordinator last season, was moved to a different position in the organization after missing significant chunks […]
What are we supposed to do now? But seriously, after watching the Celtics collapse against the 76ers and seeing their season come to a crashing halt, it feels like something is missing from spring. We’ve all devoted countless hours to watching this team play in May and June, and knowing that the journey is completely […]
The NFL Draft is in the books, but the preparation for the 2026 season continues. On Monday, the New England Patriots will kick off the second phase of their offseason workout program. Despite the sessions again being voluntary, the expectation is that attendance will again be strong. Phase 2 will see the full coaching staff […]
If you had told me about six weeks ago how disappointed I would be at the Sox losing a 4-3 nailbiter and failing to complete a series sweep against one of the National League’s better teams, I probably would’ve told you that it was a good thing. And I would be correct! While today’s tight […]
After a handful of starts for High-A Greenville, Anthony Eyanson is ready to move up to the next level. The Red Sox are promoting the talented pitching prospect to Double-A Portland, according to Chase Ford of MiLB Central. Eyanson is just days removed from making his fifth (and perhaps final) start for Greenville at home … Continue reading "Red Sox to promote top pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson to Double-A Portland"
The NFL Draft is in the books, meaning that the league is heading toward the quietest time on the calendar. Of course, pro football never really sleeps; offseason workout programs are underway and roster movement still happening. The New England Patriots also keep themselves busy at this time of the year. With that as a […]
Squandered is the word of the weekend. It means to waste resources or opportunities through negligence or inaction. In this context, it means leaving runners on base at seemingly every turn. The Red Sox pitched a really good game today. Ranger Suarez threw four shutout innings before leaving the game with hamstring tightness. Tyler Samaniego, […]
