Share this: Singing “Sweet Caroline” during the middle of the eighth inning is a Fenway Park tradition, so it’s not surprising that Boston Red Sox fans would take offense when the words to one of their anthems are butchered. Enter comedian James Corden and the many celebrities who joined him in a karaoke version of the popular Neil Diamond song at the 2017 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Corden brought a fake car into the award show and conducted an impromptu sing-along of “Sweet Caroline” with Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Diamond himself, among others. Unfortunately for all of those involved, most of the members of the carpool karaoke didn’t exactly know all of the lyrics. As you can imagine, the Twitter reaction was

John Farrell Feels Good About ‘Core Group’ Of Red Sox Starting Rotation
Share this: Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell is excited about the workhorses at the front of his 2017 starting rotation. The Red Sox traded for left-hander Chris Sale in December to add to a rotation that includes the 2016 American League Cy Young winner Rick Porcello and former Cy Young winner David Price. Farrell, who finished fourth in the voting for American League Manager of the Year last season, recognizes the value this three-headed monster will bring to his staff. “I think there were five guys last year in the major leagues who threw over 200 innings, we have three of them,” Farrell told NESN’s Tom Caron on Saturday at Red Sox’s “Baseball Winter Weekend” at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. “To
Mookie Betts Calls New Red Sox Pitcher Chris Sale ‘One Of The Best’
Share this: Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts had a phenomenal 2016 season batting .318 with 31 home runs and 113 RBI.

David Ortiz Reportedly Hasn’t Expressed Interest In World Baseball Classic
It seems David Ortiz is enjoying his retirement. The former Boston Red Sox designated hitter has been appearing in a multitude of commercials, and despite his cliffhanger tweet Monday night, it appears he’s not planning on returning to the diamond. Not even to play for his home country. Even though Ortiz won’t be showing up to spring training for the Red Sox in March, the slugger hasn’t shown any interest in playing for the Dominican Republic in this year’s World Baseball Classic, according to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, citing team general manager Moises Alou. Ortiz wasn’t a member of the Dominican Republic team that won th... NESN.com
Here Are Dave Dombrowski’s Statistical Expectations For Pablo Sandoval In 2017
Share this: If Pablo Sandoval’s Instagram account is any indication, he’s in for a bounce-back 2017 season. But both Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox know workout videos don’t count as base hits. The Red Sox third baseman has been working this offseason to return from a shoulder injury that kept him out nearly all of 2016. Boston hasn’t acquired a third baseman this winter (and even traded away Travis Shaw), meaning the hot corner should be Sandoval’s to lose entering spring training. So, what are the team’s expectations for the 30-year-old as he enters his 10th major league season? Red Sox president Dave Dombrowski offered his thoughts Friday on the “Baseball Tonight” podcast of ESPN’s Buster Olney, providing specific numbers he hopes
