Welcome back baseball, indeed! On an absolutely GLORIOUS day in Cincinnati, the Red Sox took down the Reds by a final score of 3-0. This box score somehow feels earned despite the way the game went? Let me explain. The Red Sox offense got the better of Andrew Abbott but couldn’t push a run across […]
The Cincinnati Reds got a rock solid start by Andrew Abbott in his first career start on Opening Day. The left-handed All Star fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball, but the problem was that the Boston Red Sox similarly had an All Star lefty on the mound in Garrett Crochet. Crochet kept Cincinnati just as […]
The Celtics could be without several key players when they face the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. Jaylen Brown (left calf tightness), Derrick White (right knee contusion) and Neemias Queta (right thumb sprain). The Celtics also continue to be without veteran big man Nikola Vucevic, who has been sidelined since March 6th, when he fractured […]

Here are the entries for this year's W-L contest : W-L TEAM ERA Paul H. 95-67 3.57 Benjamin B. 95-67 3.66 Rich G. 93-69 3.57 Jacob L. 92-70 3.43 Brett H. 92-70 3.45 Allan W. 92-70 3.75 Jeff M. 91-71 3.70 Eddie N. 90-72 3.69 Dave I. 90-72 3.90 Warren S. 90-72 4.50 Michael G. 87-75 3.62 There has almost always been a decent amount of optimism when it comes to the predictions. I note, however, that the Red Sox have not won 90+ games since 2021 (when they went 92-70 and lost the ALCS (2-4) to Hous...

Andrew Abbott will take the mound at Great American Ball Park and chuck the first pitch of the 2026 regular season for the Cincinnati Reds today. He’ll do so with budding Boston Red Sox superstar Roman Anthony in the box against him, as that’s who will lead off for Cincinnati’s opposition today. First pitch is […]

Welcome back to baseball that matters! It truly is the first day of spring when you can toss the red exhibition jerseys aside and play baseball for real. It’s Garrett Crochet ready to knit it up on the mound against an old friend in Tito and the Reds. Let’s play ball! ⚾️ First Pitch: 4:10pm […]
With the MLB season in full swing and the Boston Red Sox playing in their Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, it brings me back to a story that has always fascinated me. The time Larry Bird played in a college baseball game for Indiana State University in 1979. This game saw Bird […]
Opening Day in Cincinnati has finally arrived! After a long winter where we were left to ponder whether the Cincinnati Reds, who actually snuck into the playoffs for a minute in 2025, were going to take a giant leap forward in 2026 as their roster entered a fourth full year together post-rebuild. Today, we get […]
When the Colorado Avalanche shook the foundation of their core by trading Mikko Rantanen for Martin Necas, Jack Drury, and picks, we should have felt a sense of de ja vu, but we didn’t. Intuition lost on many Avalanche fans and reporters alike (myself included). The Rantanen deal wasn’t the first time we’ve seen a […]
We’re back! For one afternoon. There there’s an off day. And then another game on Saturday. And at that point the baseball season will have successfully started like so many lawnmowers that sputter and make you pull the string a couple of times before they get going. (You probably don’t have to mow your lawn […]
As is tradition, we are pretty bad at this. That don’t mean we won’t keep trying until one of us gets it all correct! As we creep closer to opening day we get to display our optimism (some of us anyway) and predict how this upcoming season will unfold. As is customary, we split this […]
I suppose you could plaster the headline of this piece on pretty much any Opening Day post from any given year and you wouldn’t be completely wrong. But I can’t help but feel a little bit different about the 2026 Red Sox as the sun rises on a new season. This isn’t just the renewal […]
It’s just one game. However, against a fully healthy version of the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Celtics proved that they are ready for any challenge. Everyone played their roles in the Celtics 119-109 win on Wednesday night. Jaylen Brown was the engine of the offense, Jayson Tatum was great playing out of the […]
The 2026 MLB season kicked off on Wednesday night when the San Francisco Giants hosted the New York Yankees. Today the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians play their first of 162 games of the season, as the Reds host the Boston Red Sox, and the Guardians travel to Seattle to battle the Mariners. The goal […]
Record and Finish 95-67, first place in the AL East: The time is now! It’s not a perfect Red Sox team, but it’s the best Red Sox team they’ve fielded so far this decade, and its time for them to start making serious waves in the American League. There’s enough talent here where the goal […]
#1 – Jaylen at the wheel When you are on the road and the Thunder strikes, you need your driver at the wheel to get you through the storm. For the Boston Celtics, the man at the wheel has a name: Jaylen Brown. Despite the physical defense from the OKC Thunder, the 2024 Finals MVP […]
’Twas brillig on Jersey Street The fans roared loud and rumbled,In Fenway’s yard where the faithful played all eager, loud, and jumbled; The Green Monster looms in left field deep, its shadow cold and wide,It calls to every driven sweep, then sends it screaming back inside. “Beware the Sox, my son!” they cried, “you’ve heard the echo of that sound—Beware […]
Even though they did not go on another record-breaking spending spree like in 2025, the New England Patriots were still quite busy refurbishing their roster in this year’s NFL free agency. In all, a look at our Patriots Free Agency Tracker shows that they added 12 outside players since late February, re-signed two of their […]
After missing an abundance of practice time and 63 games on the court, the connection between Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta looks like it hasn’t been affected. Following his return from injury, Tatum offered insight into the conversations he and Queta shared. “Me and Neemi had a little talk during the game,” he said. “We were just like, ‘man, this is our first day […]
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been together for nine NBA seasons. They have played 610 regular season games, 121 playoff games, 11 NBA Finals games, and of course, won the 2024 NBA championship together in 2024. With all of this success, some people will still tell you with a straight face that they aren’t […]
Well folks, we made it! The offseason is over and Red Sox baseball is about to begin anew this afternoon in Cincinnati. While we wait through the final few hours between the last Red Sox out of 2025 and the first pitch of 2026, let’s take a few moments to talk about our favorite Opening […]
