Share this: The Boston Red Sox have a very important stretch run in front of them, but they certainly got out on the right foot Friday night. The Red Sox left little doubt in their series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, bashing 18 hits en route to a 13-3 blowout win. Rick Porcello also did his job on the mound, earning his Major League Baseball-best 20th win to help the Red Sox take a two-game lead over the Jays in the American League East. Here’s how this one went down. GAME IN A WORDRelentless. Boston’s offense scored in six different innings and Porcello delivered another strong outing as the Red Sox rolled over a Blue Jays team that looked a bit out of sorts

Jackie Bradley Jr. Debuts New Outfield Dance After Red Sox Beat Blue Jays
Share this: From Rick Porcello’s 20th win of the season to an offensive explosion, there was a whole lot to like about the Boston Red Sox’s win Friday night. But the most interesting development might have come after the final out. The Red Sox’s outfielders have made a habit of celebrating each win this season with a special dance that ends with the star of the game posing while the other two pretend to take his picture. After Boston’s 13-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, though, Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Brock Holt gave their dance a little extra twist. Behold, “The Ski Jump:” As it turns out, Bradley’s new dance didn’t come out of, ahem, left field. In fact, the Red Sox center

Brad Marchand On Bruins Contract Negotiations: ‘It Would Be Great To Be Here’
Share this: Brad Marchand isn’t in a position to talk about his contract extension with the Boston Bruins. That’s partially because he doesn’t have one yet. Marchand led all Bruins in goals scored last season and is entering the final season of his four-year, $18 million contract. The 28-year-old winger recently spoke with the media, and while he couldn’t say much about his contract talks with Boston, he was very complimentary of the only organization he has ever known. Check out what Marchand was able to say about the talks in the NESN “Bruins Face-Off Live Summer Edition” video above. Thumbnail photo via Kim Klement/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link

Share this: The start of the 2016 NFL season has arrived, and you can play one-week fantasy football games and set new lineups every week with FanDuel. Check out our FanDuel lineup for Week 1. Quarterback: Eli Manning, New York Giants ($7,200)Manning is going up against a Dallas Cowboys defense with a weak front seven that likely won’t muster much of a pass rush.

Why The Red Sox Probably Chose To Keep Joe Kelly In Triple-A All Season
Share this: The Boston Red Sox could use a hard-throwing reliever for the late innings to help bridge the gap to All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel. Joe Kelly might just be that guy. The 28-year-old started the season in Boston’s rotation, make two horrid starts before getting injured in his third, hitting the disabled list, and returning for three more starts, the latter two of which were also horrid. Then Kelly disappeared, demoted to the minors for nearly two weeks before popping up for a few days at the end of July. Despite performing well in three relief outings then, he was sent back down to Triple-A Pawtucket until September call-ups. Since his return, he’s pitched two scoreless eighth innings, and in five outings as
Jimmy Garoppolo’s Strategy For Patriots’ Season Opener? Just Be Jimmy
by Zack Cox on Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 11:40AM 1,071 New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said over the weekend he simply wants Jimmy Garoppolo to be himself as he prepares to fill Tom Brady’s sizable shoes. It sounds like that’s exactly what Garoppolo plans to do. “You can’t really overthink it,” the Patriots’ interim starting quarterback said Tuesday morning on WEEI’s “Kirk & Callahan.” “You can’t try to be fake about it, either. You have to ma... NESN.com
