Share this: To say Clay Buchholz’s 2016 season has been a roller coaster would be an insult to roller coasters. The Red Sox right-hander has had some up-and-down campaigns in Boston, but this year has been especially tumultuous, featuring a rough first two months and three separate stints in the bullpen. Roller coasters also have high points, though, and Buchholz certainly is on one now. Buchholz delivered another solid start for the Red Sox on Wednesday night, limiting the Baltimore Orioles to one run on just three hits over seven innings at Camden Yards to lift Boston to its seventh consecutive win. “He never let the game speed up on him,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said after the game, as aired on NESN’s

Colin Kaepernick Reflects On Death Threats He Receives, Draws Startling Conclusi…
Share this: Colin Kaepernick is under fire in the figurative sense and needs no help imagining the literal consequences of his stance on social issues. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback revealed to reporters Tuesday that he has received death threats in response to his ongoing protest against police violence and the oppression of minorities in the United States, according to ESPN’s Nate Wagoner. He said someone carrying out their against him would propel the movement he supports in a forward direction. “To me, if something like that were to happen, you’ve proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now,”
Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson Planning To Have Knee Surgery
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson appears to be headed for surgery after he suffered a right knee injury in last week’s win over the Green bay Packers. Peterson wasn’t playing well before the injury happened. He’s ran for just 50 yards on 31 carries, and the Vikings are the only team without 100 rushing yards through the first two games combined. Still, Peterson remains one of the best players in the league and his loss for any amount of games would be a huge blow to an offense with just two offensive touchdowns all season. Fantasy football owners should look to the waiver wire or Vikings backup running backs Jerick McKinnon ... NESN.com
Red Sox Notes: John Farrell Totally Saw David Ortiz’s Amazing Season Coming
Share this: Anyone who has followed the Boston Red Sox over the last 13 years knows better than to underestimate David Ortiz. With that said, we wouldn’t blame you if you failed to predict this. The 40-year-old designated hitter is in the midst of one of the greatest final seasons in Major League Baseball history, seemingly reaching milestones on a nightly basis. Monday night was no exception, as Ortiz became the oldest player to hit 35 home runs in a season with a two-run blast at Camden Yards that helped lift the Red Sox to a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Big Papi now leads the team with 35 homers and 118 RBIs, incredible numbers for a player his age. Given that Ortiz hasn’t topped
Red Sox Notes: Four-Game Sweep Of Yankees Gives Boston Momentum In Division Race
BOSTON — The Red Sox are clicking at the perfect time. After completing a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with a 5-4 win Sunday, the Red Sox have a stronger hold on first place in the American League East. They’re three games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles and four games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays, and it’s greatly improved the mood in the clubhouse. “Four game series are difficult,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said after Sunday’s win. “To take all four and three of them in comeback fashion, that says so much about that team down in the clubhouse. There’s never any feeling of we’re out of it. There’s never
Hanley Ramirez Hits Second Home Run Of Game Vs. Yankees, Continues To Rake
Share this: BOSTON — Stop us if you’ve heard this story before, but Hanley Ramirez hit another home run. The Red Sox first baseman, who’s been going yard at an insane rate, hit a three-run blast in the fifth inning of Sunday’s game against the New York Yankees, but that apparently wasn’t enough for him.
