By Jack Healey I mentioned last week that I would be surprised if the Red Sox won more than one game in the 4 game series with the Yankees at Fenway over the weekend.The Sox did better than I thought winning three out four, but it really isn’t good enough. When you win the first […]
By Jack Healey The Red Sox start up a four game series against the Yankees at Fenway tonight. I don’t think the Red Sox win more than one game in the series and this series could make the series in London look like a pitcher’s duel. It was comical watching the umpires in the Sox-Tampa […]
By Jack Healey I didn’t see all the induction speeches at the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday, but I did see the speeches by Edgar Martinez,Lee Smith and Mariano Rivera and they were all outstanding! I went to the Hall of Fame once and that was back in 1977. I hope to get back some […]
By Jack Healey I had a great vacation and I’m all set to get back to work. I watched the entire baseball All Star Game for the first time in about 25 years. Maybe longer…. Still read miles and miles of mindless drivel on facebook and twitter! Geez Joe Buck and John Smoltz are great, […]
By Jack Healey Congratulations to the US women’s soccer team. They won and they deserved it. They deserve all the accolades and the parade up “The Canyon of Heroes” is an honor that not everybody gets. I was rooting for them, but I still don’t think they were that likable. If they don’t want to […]
By Jack Healey The London Series is over and quite frankly it ended the way I thought it would. All in all it was a very successful event and the Cubs and Cards will play there next year, but as somebody pointed out to me on Saturday if London loves baseball so much why was […]
By Jack Healey For the record I correctly predicted 7 of the 9 American League starters and 7 out of the 8 starters for the National League for the All Star game coming up on July 9th in Cleveland. Now to the US womens soccer team: I have explained the National Anthem respect thing a […]

The starters election winners will be announced at 7PM tomorrow on ESPN and full rosters will be announced at 5:30PM on Sunday. Are you ready […]
By Jack Healey I think the Tampa Bay/ Montreal discussion is ridiculous! It will never fly and do you think the Major League Players Association would ever go for that? Of course not! What free agent would ever sign with a team that would split its home games in two different locations, two different countries […]
By Jack Healey The best trade over the weekend was Edwin Encarnacion going to the Yankees, not Anthony Davis going to the Lakers! With Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge coming back this week Encarnacion makes an already awesome line-up even awesomer!!! On top of that the Yankees gave-up virtually nothing to get Encarnacion. It’s the […]
