If you were plotting out the season before this weekend, taking two of three games against the Astros might have been a nice consolation prize. Losing two instead, when the Astros are a bad team – great offense, poor pitching – is of no consolation. The Red Sox sit 10 games back in the AL […]
Patriots News: Henry’s Long-Term Future in New England Uncertain After Draft Hunter Henry had the best statistical season of his career in 2025, and the New England Patriots answered by drafting his eventual replacement. Henry caught 60 passes for 768 yards and seven touchdowns on 87 targets across all 17 regular-season games, career highs in [...]
They say if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Well, the Philadelphia 76ers have checked “beat the best” off the list after winning a first-round series in seven games over the Boston Celtics, who were the odds-on favorite to reach the NBA Finals out of the Eastern Conference. So […]
After missing the playoffs last year for the first time in close to a decade, the Bruins were back in the postseason but fell short in the opening round.
No surprise here, as the Detroit Tigers’ rookie phenom was a candidate for league MVP in March and April. He is second place to Aaron Judge in the American League in Baseball Reference’s rWAR with 2.1 wins above replacement and currently tracking toward a potential 9 WAR season in his major league debut. He’s made […]
After spending his first five seasons in the league with the New York Jets, plenty of things are new for Alijah Vera-Tucker this offseason in New England. Among the most notable differences through the first two weeks of the voluntary offseason program has been the introduction of “family meetings.” “We have family meetings where we […]
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 […]
