Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
11am CT on ESPN2. Two extra inning walk-off wins in a row, and we’ve clinched the series against The Franzia Funnelers. Friday’s was a 10 inning Johntone the Elder winner, but Saturday’s… Saturday damn near never ended. After both Nadeau and Mack dueled through 3 scoreless frames, the dam finally broke in the bottom of […]
Sometimes it feels like you know how 80% of a Celtics game is going to go. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are going to do half of the heavy lifting. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will cover about another third. But it’s that other 15-20% that you’re going to get from your 5th, 6th, and […]
When the Celtics and Hornets face off on Sunday night, it will be a match-up between two of the Eastern Conference’s hottest teams. And, in many ways, the two franchises are interconnected — both due to their personell and emerging styles of play. Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Jay Williams drew the connection himself: “They’re […]
The Red Sox still don’t seem to have a long-term plan for what to do with the five outfielders they have for four outfield/DH spots, to say nothing of what happens when Triston Casas enters the DH picture. But they do have a short-term plan. Alex Cora announced that, starting today, Masataka Yoshida would play […]
The free agency transactions have largely settled down for the New England Patriots and the rest of the league this past week. The main focus instead has shifted back to the NFL Draft, which is officially less than one month away. The focus here on Pats Pulpit has been cleaning up free agent contracts and […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re getting back into the swing of the regular season, it’s time to find out what everyone’s favorite highlights of the week were! I am, once again, at a distinct disadvantage because as of the time this is being written there has only been one game played this week, […]
The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
Jaylen Brown had some things to say about the NBA’s regular season awards on Wednesday. In the wake of Cade Cunningham’s lung collapse, robbing him of consideration for All-NBA and MVP awards, Jaylen Brown reminded everyone that back when the 65-game minimum threshold was written into the current CBA—by the NBPA and the league—it was […]
Zigs and Zags The game had a ton of drama and resisted easy definitions. It wasn’t that the teams traded leads back and forth—the Sox never led, in fact—but every time I thought I had a handle on the direction of the game, a big moment occurred to completely erase that thought. For example, the […]

There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
Let’s face it: Thursday’s Opening Day win was too easy. Too stress-free. The Mets aren’t really, truly back until they have a game that makes you question all the life choices that led to you deciding to spend three precious hours of your day watching them. Well, you best believe it: the Mets are officially […]
Even though Will Campbell and Morgan Moses are projected to keep their starting jobs in 2026, the New England Patriots are in the market for additional help at the offensive tackle position. Not only is the depth behind the top two unsettled, Moses also turned 35 earlier this month. Unsurprisingly, the team has been linked […]
BOSTON — Charles Bassey has played for five different NBA teams since being drafted in 2021. This season, he’s bounced around the league on Ten-Day contracts, enjoying stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors. Since mid-March, he’s been with the Celtics; Bassey signed his first Ten-Day contract on March 15th, and his second […]
The Celtics could be extremely short-handed when they face the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday evening. Jayson Tatum (right Achilles repair management), Jaylen Brown (left Achilles tendonitis), Neemias Queta (right thumb sprain), and Derrick White (right knee contusion) are all questionable to play. And, Nikola Vucevic remains out as he continues to recover from a fractured […]

Welcome to Saturday Evening Hockey! A 5 PM Eastern start time is a little weird, but at least this game should be wrapped up by 9 PM. Perfect for either starting your night out or turning in, depending on where you find yourself in the age bracket. It goes without saying that this weekend’s results […]
What to Watch for Today Red Sox Nation got a little taste of baseball on Opening Day, immediately followed by an oddly scheduled off-day. Due to the severe weather in Cincinnati, the game likely would have been postponed anyway so the Red Sox come out ahead with no disruptions to the schedule. Things are going […]
It was January of 2019 when the Cincinnati Reds sent prospect Shed Long and a Competitive Balance pick to the New York Yankees to acquire right-hander Sonny Gray, the former Oakland A’s ace and 2015 All Star. He had struggled mightily since landing in the Bronx, yet Cincinnati pitching guru Derek Johnson – who had […]
Fun game. Especially watching Payton Pritchard go off. How can you not love the guy? I love how he comes out of the trees with rebounds. I'm so glad he's a Celtic. Their descriptions of Baylor Scheierman cracked me up. Thunder fans had a couple of funny descriptions of him also. It cracks me up that everybody thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs. If they did, they wouldn't be last in the league in free throws attempted. My favorites are in...
With April in the D inching closer and closer, it feels like a good time to discuss what the best month of the sports calendar is. Soon, we will have a lot going on in the world of sports. March Madness will be in full swing, the Detroit Tigers will be kicking off a season […]
The Boston Red Sox did not play baseball last night, or even yesterday afternoon. But, never fear! About 60 miles west, in New England’s second biggest city and home of the gravesite of the guy who invented the smiley face, several players with MLB service time and some with some more service time certain to […]
