Share this: The Boston Red Sox have had an up-and-down season thus far, but a successful weekend trip to Houston has the Sox riding high. Boston took two of three games from the Major League Baseball-best Astros, capped off by a gritty 6-5 win Sunday night at Minute Maid Park. The Father’s Day victory, especially, showed signs of what the Red Sox are capable of. They received a mediocre performance out of starter David Price, and the bullpen wasn’t as strong as it has been of late. Even Craig Kimbrel veered from his dominant self with a shaky ninth inning. But thanks to timely hitting and strong defense, Boston overcame its faults to earn one of its most impressive victories of the 2017 season. And

Red Sox Wrap: Boston Obliterates Tigers’ Bullpen In 11-3 Win At Fenway Park
Share this: For the second night in a row, the Boston Red Sox tortured the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen.

‘Pokemon’ Debut On Nintendo Switch Isn’t What Most Fans Were Hoping For
Share this: Unfortunately for “Pokemon fans,” good news and bad news were one in the same Tuesday. During its “Pokemon Direct” live stream, Nintendo revealed the ever-popular “Pokemon” series will make its Nintendo Switch debut in the form of “Pokken Tournament DX,” an updated version of the fighting game released for Wii U in 2015.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a second straight loss to the Golden State Warriors to open the NBA Finals, James was asked to envision a scenario in which Cleveland didn’t protect home court. This, of course, would mean a Warriors series sweep, which James reminded the reporter in belittling fashion. And judging by how the first two games of the series have panned out, a Golden State series win in four games looks like a distinct possibility.
