Red Sox Notes: Mookie Betts Breaks Out; Eduardo Rodriguez Makes Rehab Strides
BOSTON — With the way Jackie Bradley Jr. and Xander Bogaerts have been hitting, it’s easy to forget about Mookie Betts sometimes. But it was impossible to ignore the Red Sox right fielder Saturday at Fenway Park. That’s because Betts was a one-man wrecking crew against the Cleveland Indians, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and a career-high five RBIs to carry Boston’s offense in a 9-1 blowout win. All three of his hits went for extra bases: A rocket double off the Green Monster in the third inning, a solo homer in the fourth and a grand slam to top it all off in the seventh. “He’s got such lightning bat
76ers Prospect Russ Smith Breaks D-League Scoring Record, Loses Anyway (Videos)
It’s arguably the most Philadelphia 76ers story ever: Sixers prospect Russ Smith, currently playing for the Delaware 87ers, broke the NBA D-League scoring record with 65 points against the Canton Charge on Wednesday, yet his team lost by 11 points.

Shaquille O’Neal Breaks Backboard After Monster Put-Back Dunk (Video)
Editor's note: The 2011-12 NBA season was supposed to tip off Nov. 1. With no games to watch, NESN.com will help fill the void by posting a dunk video every day until the lockout ends. Shaquille O'Neal picked the right time to walk away from the game. The Diesel announced his retirement at the end of last season, ending a 20-year career filled with tons of accolades and four NBA championship rings. With the league in a lockout, he wouldn't have been playing much anyway. Shaq started his career in Orlando with the Magic and quickly turned the team into a contender. Always one of the biggest players in the game, he was an immovable object in the paint. During a game in Phoenix
