It was fitting, in a sense, that no one gave the Celtics a chance entering Sunday’s regular-season finale. That’s how it was as soon as Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles. That’s how it was to start the season. That’s how it was after their 8-8 start. But each time, the Celtics simply shrugged their shoulders, […]
BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman didn’t know what to expect entering Sunday night’s regular-season finale. The Boston Celtics, down eight players, rolled out a shorthanded rotation made up entirely of reserves against a fully healthy Orlando Magic team. “We were even joking in the locker room coming out for layup lines, looking at each other like, […]
The New England Patriots are showing some interest in potential backup quarterbacks in this year’s NFL Draft. After previously hosting Kansas’ Jalon Daniels on a visit, another passer recently revealed that he had been to the Patriots’ Gillette Stadium facility. Behren Morton out of Texas A&M is the second QB to hold a 30 visit […]
On a night no one thought the Celtics would win — at the end of a season many believed they couldn’t contend —Joe Mazzulla made one final statement for his Coach of the Year candidacy. The final Celtics injury report for Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic listed eight Celtics players out. Notably, their top […]
Is it possible that the most fun game of the regular season is the finale when seven — SEVEN — rotation players are unavailable and there’s nothing to play for? Yes. Yes, it is. Baylor Scheierman led all scorers with 30 points with Ron Harper Jr. and Luka Garza having career games with 27 to […]
The East is set: After an unexpected win over the Magic in their Sunday regular season finale at TD Garden, the Celtics start the 2026 NBA Playoffs as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are +550 at FanDuel to raise Banner 19. The Magic will now travel to Philadelphia to play in the […]
With the No. 2 seed cemented, and the vast majority of their rotation players sidelined Sunday night, it would have been easy for the Celtics to roll over and wave the white flag against the Magic. But as they’ve consistently shown over the years, the Celtics simply won’t accept defeat, regardless of who’s on the […]
White Sox pitchers these days have to feel something like the cavalry riders of Lord Tennyson’s vivid description of the Charge of the Light Brigade: Galloping hopelessly into a unrepentant line of cannonfire (or Cannon-fire, in today’s case) knowing that offensive support is minimal and death is more or less certain. The Kansas City Royals […]
The Red Sox have only six wins this season. We’re not dealing with a large sample size. Still, today felt like the “easiest” win of the season. The offense jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a home run off the bat of Willson Contreras and never looked back. They were […]
Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]

Welcome to the last road game of the regular season, folks! The B’s are back in Columbus for the second time in two Sundays, the last of which was a wild comeback win in favor of the visitors. Since then, things haven’t gone terribly well for the B’s, but…hey, they’re in the playoffs! That’s what […]
On April 10th in 2010, Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron prevented a third period own goal stopping Blake Wheeler's pass from entering their empty net during a delayed Jerome Samson penalty up 3-2 in a must-win game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Boston added an empty net goal to their three shorthanded markers to beat Carolina that afternoon by a score of 4-2 and clinch a playoff spot.
On April 4th in 2009, New York Rangers agitator Sean Avery slapped Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas in the back of the head with his stick during a television timeout in an attempt to unhinge the 2009 Jennings, Crozier and Vezina winner with 5 minutes to play.Both Avery and Thomas received minor roughing penalties on the play.

According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will start for St. Louis while Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston. Game is scheduled to be broadcast on Cardinals TV. First pitch […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a rough week. After wrapping up their third consecutive series win last weekend in Kansas City, Milwaukee moved to 8-2 with a series-opening win in Boston on Monday. Since then, however, they’ve lost four straight. In those four losses — two to the Red Sox and two to the Nationals […]
There was a lot of talk about running it back this offseason. After a frustratingly brief trip to the Elysian Fields of the playoffs, the fans, writ broadly, wanted change. Few, if any, would’ve wanted a change in Jesús Luzardo, though. His first season in red pinstripes (and blue/black gradient thing; not to fear, City […]
We have arrived. When the Knicks (53*-28) host the Hornets (43-38) tonight at Madison Square Garden, their regular season will draw to a close. What a season it has been. A success by most measures, for sure, yet disappointing at times. So like life. The obviousness of the Pistons and Celtics stealing the top two […]
As of right now, the wide receiver position in Cleveland is looking pretty bleak, with only Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, and Isaiah Bond having experience running legitimate routes for the team in 2025. The good thing is that they have two excellent opportunities to add a playmaker in round one of the 2026 NFL Draft. […]
Akheem Mesidor just celebrated his 25th birthday, and as such he poses a quandary for NFL teams trying to decide whether or not to invest a premium pick in selecting him. To be clear, concerns over his age are not about whether or not he will be an impact player into a second contract–even though […]
During Saturday’s win in St. Louis, the Red Sox scored a season high seven runs. So with that established, let me stop and ask you a question: What player in a Boston uniform was most responsible for this offensive outburst? Perhaps it was Willson Contreras, who went 2-4 with 3 RBI against his former team. […]
