Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
The San Francisco Giants have had the worst outfield in the Major Leagues this year, and now it’s getting a shakeup. However, it’s not the performance that is causing that shakeup, but rather injuries. On Wednesday, ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Giants announced that starting center fielder Harrison Bader and fourth […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. With the team stating their need for an edge rusher — especially one […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:40 p.m. ET Well, this series couldn’t have started any worse. Red Sox starters gave up 15 earned runs in the first two games, thanks to disastrous starts from Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray. Boston’s lineup also got shutout for the first time this season and is lacking momentum entering Wednesday […]

Thanks to CelticsBlog, I had the pleasure of covering the final two games of the Boston Celtics’ regular season as credentialed media, making the journey from Tasmania, Australia. I won’t bore you with the details of the journey, but despite a 45-hour, door-to-door journey and some horrendous jet lag, I still had the time of […]
Worcester: L, 4-9 (BOX SCORE) “Struggling” out of the gate seems relative now with consecutive poor performances by Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray, but Patrick Sandoval doesn’t quite seem ready to rejoin the Major League roster in a few weeks (due to being a pitcher, he gets a month of rehab time.) He struck out […]

The New England Patriots are back, much to everyone’s chagrin. The post-Bill Belichick era was looking refreshingly bleak in Foxborough, but with Mike Vrabel at the helm, the team saw a sudden resurgence all the way to the Super Bowl last year. Now, as we approach Pick 31 in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock […]
Morning, all! After a rough start to the season, Nathan Eovaldi threw seven shutout innings to the A’s on Monday. Josh Sborz needs to be added to the 40 man roster today or he will be available for all 29 major league teams to claim, though doing so will require removing someone. The Rangers started […]
Welp, just when it seemed like the Yankees bats were waking up with their 11-10 walk-off win in the series opener against the Angels, they immediately went back to sleep scoring just one run in a listless middle-game loss. It never helps when your starting pitcher gives up back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first inning, […]
The luxury of securing the 2-seed is a comfy view from the top. While the Boston Celtics spent the final weeks of the regular season fine-tuning rotations and monitoring their health, the lower tier of Eastern Conference playoff teams were in a chaotic sprint toward the finish line. The 5 through 10 seeds shuffled around […]
Good morning! After another ugly loss last night, the Red Sox once again find themselves as the worst team in baseball. It’s still April, and no one is getting fired yet, nor do I think anyone is getting demoted. But surely the Sox need to do something, right? So what one move would you make […]
I submit that Matthew Golden’s rookie year was not so much bad as it was odd. His statistical output was, to be blunt, frustrating. The only 0 I wanted to see from Golden last year was on his uniform, not in the “touchdowns” column of his page on Pro Football Reference. Yes, he got into […]
When Mick Abel hit Willson Contreras, the first baseman joined Yandy Diaz, Dillon Dingler, Connor Nordy, and Isaac Paredes to lead all of MLB with four hit by pitches. So far in the season, Contreras has been hit once each by the Reds, Brewers, Cardinals, and Twins. Contreras has had a mixed bag with HBPs. […]
Following a series of trades, the New England Patriots are entering the 2026 NFL Draft with plenty of selections in hand. In total, the Super Bowl runner-ups are in possession of 11 picks, one of the highest such numbers in the league. In total, the list looks like this: Patriots 2026 NFL Draft picks The […]
One of my esteemed colleagues calls this time of year the silly season. That name fits just about as much as anything else. In the NFL, there is very much a hurry up and wait mentality. Free agency opens in early March and most fans want their team to act now, now, now. We declare […]
While the NFL Draft in itself is usually pretty straight forward — one player after the other gets picked — the process leading up to is quite complex. Scouts spend more than a year diving into prospects; there are visits, meetings and workouts; every player gets tested scrupulously both athletically as well as mentally and […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links The season, mercifully, is over. This mess of a campaign ends with a 4-0 loss to the Bruins. The Devils end the season with 87 points and a 42-37-3 record. [Devils NHL] Nico reacting to this disappointing season: [Devils NHL] “Fitzgerald wasn’t the worst GM you could […]
With Tuesday night’s win over the New Jersey Devils, the Bruins clinched the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference and set up a first-round match-up with the Buffalo Sabres. After missing the playoffs for 382 years, the Sabres won the Atlantic Division with either 108 or 110 points, depending on how their last […]
The New England Patriots defense was mightily opportunistic in the playoffs, registering eight total takeaways en route to a Super Bowl appearance. That was not always the case during the regular season, though: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel took the ball away only 19 times, ranking 19th in the league. Adding NFL interception […]
After already welcoming projected early-round picks Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (Toledo) and Zakee Wheatley (Penn State) to Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots hosted another safety on pre-draft visit on Tuesday. Michigan State’s Malik Spencer was in town as the third reported player at the position to visit with the team. Spending his entire four-year college career […]
For the third time on this road trip, the Red Sox entered a game with a seemingly large pitching advantage and lost. They got shut down by Dustin May last Friday, watched Garrett Crochet get bombarded while matched up against Bailey Ober yesterday, and saw Sonny Gray get thoroughly outpitched by Mick Abel tonight. On […]
The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]
It was a fitting finish to a forgettable season. The Devils, “playing” for the fourth and final time since being eliminated from playoff contention a week ago, had nothing on the line but pride. The Boston Bruins were still jockeying for playoff position, hoping to maintain their slim hold on the Eastern Conference’s first wild […]
The Bruins ended the regular season with the all-important VIBES in a much better place, thanks to a 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. The B’s jumped out to a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the game and never looked back, with Mark Kastelic leading the way with two goals and Jeremy […]
