Not all was seashells, balloons and children asking Eloy Jimenez “thin crust or deep dish?” at SoxFest on Saturday, the place the overwhelming temper amongst gamers, membership officers and followers was optimism concerning the coming season. While nonstop speak of the postseason echoed by way of McCormick Place West, one couldn’t blame those that stay pessimistic. One guarded skeptic at a query reply discussion board with supervisor Rick Renteria and common supervisor Rick Hahn Saturday reminded them of a Sox offseason gained with the additions of Jeff Samardzija, Adam LaRoche, Melky Cabrera, David Robertson and Zach Duke and an ensuing 2015 fail. Another questioned, inside good purpose, the Sox’ questionable protection. Another advised to Renteria

How Ryan Donato Handles Pressure Of Being Local Player For Bruins
Ryan Donato has Black and Gold in his blood. The Boston Bruins forward was born and raised in Scituate, Mass. and played collegiate hockey at Harvard. Oh yeah, his father, Ted Donato, played nine seasons for the B’s over the course of his 13-year NHL career. Given Ryan Donato’s ties to Boston and the Bruins franchise, it’s safe to say he was welcomed with a level of pressure right from the get-go. But thanks to guidance from his father and a focused demeanor, the 22-year-old is taking everything in stride. To hear Donato catch up with NESN’s Billy Jaffe about life as a Bruin,
Racing Together: A season with a crew chief
“They knew that riding over the edge could be spinning the tyre, because if you’re spinning the tyre then you’re not necessarily going forward at the pace of someone who’s not spinning the tyre. Again, you don’t want to be too much on the slow side and you don’t want to be too much on the spin side. This is where the clever rider comes in; he’s the guy who can maintain his concentration on corner entry, mid-corner and corner exit over 14 corners a lap for 30 laps, doing lap times within 0.2 seconds of each other, always just maintaining that pressure. A lot of other guys try to catch up or try to go fast, but they spin
Why Skip Bayless Thinks Kyrie Irving Is Under More Pressure Than LeBron James
All roads in the NBA lead back to LeBron James. At least it does in Skip Bayless’ mind. And heading into Wednesday’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Bayless was all-in on his hot takes between James and Celtics guard Kyrie Irving. And his belief Wednesday — a somewhat tepid take by his standard — was that Irving now is under “ten-times more pressure” to succeed than LeBron is. “It was similar to what (Kevin) Durant did with (Russell) Westbrook,” Bayless said on his talk show on FS1. “Kyrie got tired of — I got this from a source very close to Kyrie and I’m going to say it again because I
Dustin Pedroia Confident Red Sox Will Overcome Pressure, Clinch AL East
The Boston Red Sox have squandered many opportunities to clinch the American League East, and now their lead has shrunk to two games with two games to play in the regular season. Boston can clinch the division with a win or a loss by the New York Yankees in the next two days, so they still control their own destiny. But their recent play has many people concerned, but not Dustin Pedroia. Following Boston’s 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday, Pedroia noted how hard it is to win the best division in baseball. But the veteran second baseman stated the team has overcome a lot of adversity this season and they
Jim Hackett Replaces Mark Fields As Ford CEO Amid Management Overhaul
Share this: Ford started its week off with sweeping changes. The American automaker announced Monday that Mark Fields is resigning as CEO, ending a 28-year tenure with the company, according to a press release. He will be succeeded by former Steelcase CEO Jim Hackett. Fields reportedly stepped down amid pressure from investors, though company chairman Bill Ford praised the now former executive for helping Ford survive the recession. “Mark Fields has been an outstanding leader and deserves a lot of credit for all he has accomplished in his many roles around the globe at Ford,” Bill Ford said in a statement. “His strong leadership was critical to our North American restructuring, our turnaround at the end of the last decade, and our record profits in
Roberto Firmino’s Early Goal Lifts Liverpool To 1-0 Win Over West Brom
Share this: Roberto Firmino’s first-half header saw Liverpool consolidate their position in the Premier League’s top four with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon. Firmino — back in the Reds’ starting line-up along with Philippe Coutinho — converted James Milner’s free-kick, via a flick-on from Lucas Leiva, in stoppage time at the end of the first period to move Jürgen Klopp’s side back into third place in the standings. The visitors had the better of the second half, too, but were unable to add to their advantage. Milner blazed over the crossbar from close range before Divock Origi saw a close-range header disallowed due to Firmino straying offside shortly after the hour. Simon Mignolet denied Matt Phillips as West Brom
