Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox have a very good team this season, as their perch atop the American League East can attest. But Boston’s 2016 squad appears to have an Achilles’ heel, and that weakness was exposed again Wednesday night. Rick Porcello and the Red Sox lost a 1-0 pitchers’ duel to Kevin Gausman and the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, losing a three-game series that started with a convincing 12-2 win.

Share this: Alex Zanardi got out of his hand-cycle in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday knowing he had won his fourth medal at Paralympic Games. But 15 years ago, many wondered if he’d make it out of the hospital — alive. Zanardi was nearly killed in a crash at EuroSpeedway Lausitz on Sept. 15, 2001.

He went to the Paralympic Games in London in 2012, and won two golds and a silver. With a
