Colin Cowherd’s suspicions were confirmed Sunday: The Miami Dolphins aren’t ready for success. The Dolphins rolled into Gillette Stadium with an undefeated record and a two-game lead over the New England Patriots, who had suffered back-to-back losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions. But rather than prove themselves as legitimate AFC contenders, the ‘Fins looked like fish out of water as the Pats cruised to a 38-7 win. Cowherd wasted little time Monday in dumping all over the Dolphins, who he ranked No. 10 in last week’s “Herd Hierarchy” while leaving out the Patriots.

Rick Porcello Laments His, Red Sox’s ‘Sloppy’ Performance In Loss To Rays
The Boston Red Sox have looked pretty sharp most nights this season, but Saturday was not one of those nights. The Sox put on a pretty ugly showing and fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1, dropping the second straight contest of the three-game set at Tropicana Field. There really were no redeeming qualities for Boston in the loss, as everything from the pitching to the offense were quite underwhelming. Following the game, Sox starter Rick Porcello gave a pretty candid assessment of his and his team’s performance. To hear what he had to say, check out the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented
Alex Cora Tips Cap To Phillies’ Bullpen After Red Sox’s 7-4 Loss
The Boston Red Sox were unable to complete a two-game sweep of the Phillies on Wednesday night, and it was due in large part to Philadelphia’s bullpen. The Red Sox had their opportunity to bury the Phillies early on, as they plated three runs in the third inning and had a chance to blow it open with bases loaded and no outs when Phillies manager Gabe Kapler went the bullpen. Hector Neris got out of the inning without allowing another run and the rest of the Phillies’ pen took it from there, allowing only one more run in Philadelphia’s 7-4 win at Citizens Bank Park.
Red Sox’s 13-7 Loss Vs. Blue Jays ‘Completely On’ Rick Porcello
The Boston Red Sox’s offense did everything it could to extend the club’s winning streak to 11 games Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but it wasn’t enough as the Sox ultimately fell 13-7 at Fenway Park. Starter Rick Porcello had a rough night, giving up eight earned runs in two-plus innings while uncharacteristically walking four hitters. The 2016 American League Cy Young Award winner didn’t shy away from blame after the loss, saying the defeat was on his inability to execute and hold a lead.

Red Sox Notes: David Price’s Struggles Continue Against Yankees In Sunday’s Loss
The New York Yankees never have been kind to David Price. Going into Sunday night’s matchup, the Boston Red Sox starter made four career appearances against the American League East rival, posting an 0-4 record while giving up five home runs.

Chris Sale Vows To Keep His Head Up After Red Sox’s Tough Loss To Twins
Chris Sale hasn’t had the best of luck this season, but he’s not getting too hung up about it.
