Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
For some reason, I’m not anywhere near as angry as I should be after another loss in which the Red Sox lineup looked like it was reenacting something out of the Deadball Era. Tonight, some of the highlights lowlights included: But do you know what surprised me the most about tonight? The Red Sox almost […]
The NHL announced on Tuesday evening that Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy will be suspended for the first six games of next season, the result of a slash on Buffalo’s Zach Benson in Game 6 of the Bruins-Sabres series. McAvoy was given a major and a game misconduct on the play in real time, with that […]
It’s hard to believe that Zack Wheeler was a major question mark less than a month ago. At least for now, he looked like the Zack Wheeler of old as he went 7.1 innings against the Red Sox while allowing one run on just 87 pitches in a 2-1 win. Kyle Schwarber tied the Phillies […]
Jason Collins has passed away, leaving behind a legacy of excellence, courage and inspiration unmatched by any before him.
One of the old adages in Major League Baseball is that all teams win a third of their games, all teams lose a third of their games, and it’s that middle third that separates pretenders from the contenders. Well, let’s just say that on paper, this is one of the games that looks like a […]
Expunge just about everything from the baseball that was played last week, and the Cincinnati Reds might end up just fine. They are, after all, still 22-19 on the season, 3 games over the .500 mark though 41 games and still very much in a half-decent position despite finding themselves buried in the run differential […]
Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy will miss the beginning of next season, after a vicious slash to the body of Buffalo Sabres forward Zach Benson in the final game of their first round series. NHL Player Safety announced that McAvoy has been suspended six games, which he will serve at the beginning of next season. 🚨 #NHLBruins D Charlie McAvoy has been suspended six (6) games for slashing #LetsGoBuffalo F Zach Benson. pic.twitter.com/nudziIlany — NHL News (@PuckReportNHL) May 12, 2026 Af...
Ahead of the NFL schedule release, the offseason program rolls on for the New England Patriots which has now seen the rookie class join the veterans — and the roster being back to full capacity. So, submit any Patriots questions — or whatever else is on your mind — down in the comments below or […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it.

The Red Sox and Phillies have had similar starts to the season: they’re two big ballclubs with big aspirations who both immediately fell on their faces, prompting two managerial firings. And while the Phillies have done a better job righting the ship under their new skipper than the Sox have, they’ll both share some history […]
On the third day of NFL Free Agency, veteran safety Kevin Byard agreed to a one-year contract with the Patriots. Byard joins a talented secondary that features established cornerbacks such as Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones, but also an emerging safety in Craig Woodson. “I think he’s a very talented player, just watching […]
The Phillies and Red Sox have a lot in common this season. After making the playoffs in 2025, both teams made offseason moves that weren’t embraced by many fans. And both got off to poor starts that resulted in an early season firing of the manager. Another thing the teams have in common: They’ve gotten […]
The Boston Red Sox are mid… I’ll be the first to admit that it’s looking like “mid” might be enough to secure one of the final playoff spots in the American League in 2026, but you aren’t exactly allowed to fall under that distinction when you’re routinely trotting out suboptimal lineups, unable to play the […]

Now that the bulk of the acquisition period from the offseason is in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take stock of what each team has done. While the 2026 NFL regular season is still three and a half months away, most of the heavy lifting in the roster-building department is out of the way, […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a season of genuine highs and lows. On one hand, the franchise made the postseason just a year after winning only 24 games and pulled off an upset of the rival Boston Celtics. The highs didn’t last long, though. They flamed out in four games to the New York […]
If there’s one question that has captured the attention of Celtics fans and the greater NBA this month, it has been this one (see title). So I thought I’d pose it to the writers of your favorite Celtics site. Here’s what the staff came up with. Ian Inangelo I don’t think I would trade Jaylen […]
The New England Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl berth, but in order to get back to the big dance stasis was not an option this offseason. And so, changes were made — big, small, in between, through free agency and the draft. The question, of course, is whether or not said change left […]
Despite their best efforts — and the effort was there on Sunday by Payton Tolle and others — the Red Sox lost another series. This time to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox briefly rose to 4th place in the AL East before the Sox dropped the series, the Orioles won, and Boston returned to […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. The Red Sox start a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies today. It marks the fifth National League opponent the Red Sox have played over the first month of the season. The balanced schedule has been around for a few years now, with fewer divisional games and everyone playing everyone, […]
So not much happened in official Celtics news last week. Brad Stevens gave a press conference which, while not quite promising the Wyc Grousbeckian “fireworks” of 2014 that never quite materialized, suggested that the team would be looking to address shortcomings that revealed themselves in the playoff series against Philadelphia. On the CelticsBlog Slack, there […]
As the New England Patriots evaluated Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton ahead of the NFL Draft, one trait immediately stood out. “The toughness,” executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf said. “He played through a lot of stuff. He’s been beat up, but he’s played through a lot of stuff.” The injuries piled up […]
Six weeks into his first full professional season, it appears as though Red Sox catching prospect Luke Heyman may be ready for a new challenge. Heyman, whom the Red Sox acquired from the Mariners for reliever Alex Hoppe in November, has been on an offensive tear as of late for Low-A Salem. In five games … Continue reading "Red Sox catching prospect Luke Heyman off to strong start with Low-A Salem"
