Don’t look now, but Drew Pomerantz has been really good for the Red Sox. He won again last night and stands at 10-4 on the year. Chris Sale is 11-4. Three of the races in baseball are just about over. Houston leads by 15 and a half in the AL West, the Dodgers lead by […]

It was a huge trade and guess what? It involves the Yankees. The trade sends third baseman Todd Frazier and relief pitchers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox to the Yankees in exchange for relief pitcher Tyler Clippard and three prospects including Yankees’ #1 2016 draft choice Blake Rutherford. This trade is […]

   Ragging on the media seems to be a favorite past time of the general public nowadays.

Glad the Celtics signed Gordon Hayward. Contrary to what you might think signing Hayward was “Plan A” for the Celtics.   Remember everything else was speculation. This is what I’ve said before : Only Paul George if you can sign him long term. What’s the point if you trade for a player that you only […]

The fans are getting better. I have no argument with either the American or National League All-Star teams. I suppose you can argue a player here and there, but all in all great job baseball fans! Sox pitcher Chris Sale is on the AL team. I don’t want him to start the game and why […]

Phil Jackson’s time with the Knicks could be summed up with ” Willis Reed and Walt Frazier aren’t going to come through that door.” Jackson’s time with the Knicks makes Rick Pitino look like a genius during his time with the Celtics. I don’t want to take anything away from Jackson as a coach as he […]

Yesterday while listening to Boston Sports Talk Radio on Comcast I hear the hosts quote Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe who was ranting about the way the AL East standings are put up on the left field scoreboard. The Red Sox have been listed first and Yankees 2nd even though the Yankees were technically in first place […]
