Miguel Montero’s Grand Slam Lifts Cubs To NLCS Game 1 Win Over Dodgers
Share this: These Chicago Cubs are different. Ever since winning the 1908 World Series, the Cubs have found countless ways to leave their fans heartbroken, and it appeared they were in for more of the same Saturday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers tied Game 1 of the National League Championship Series in the top of the eighth inning. But, like we said, these Cubs aren’t your father’s or grandfather’s Cubs.

Boston Red Sox Still Have Solid Core, Aren’t Going Anywhere In 2017
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox’s 2016 season ended with a thud after they were swept by the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series, but they’re still going to be a team to look out for in 2017. Boston exceeded the expectations of many when they ran away with the AL East and finished with a 93-69 record, but it didn’t look like a one-year fluke. The Red Sox’s offense was legitimately dominant, and there’s no reason to believe they can’t come back and do it again next year. “I’ve not thought anything beyond (Monday’s) game,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said after Boston’s 4-3 loss to the Tribe. “And that’s the approach I take every day, through 162 games and through
Terry Francona Hurled His Gum At Dustin Pedroia During ALDS Game 1 Intros
Share this: Terry Francona’s bullpen decisions Thursday night gave baseball fans a lot to chew on. But the Cleveland Indians manager still was able to have some fun before things got started. The Indians defeated Francona’s old team, the Boston Red Sox, in Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field. Francona still is very close with several Red Sox players, though, including Dustin Pedroia, who played under “Tito” for six seasons from 2006 to 2011. So, just before Game 1 kicked off, Francona decided to engage in some shenanigans with his former second baseman. When he was introduced before the game, Terry Francona shook the hand of John Farrell and then threw his gum at Dustin Pedroia. — Brian MacPherson (@brianmacp)
