Share this: The Boston Red Sox have had a revolving door at third base this season. But if all goes according to plan, that trend soon will be in the past. The Red Sox promoted star prospect Rafael Devers to the major leagues, and he’ll make his Major League Baseball debut Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. And with Devers’ promotion, Boston manager John Farrell hopes the team will have consistency at third base down the stretch. Hear what Farrell said about Devers prior to his debut in the video from “Red Sox Gameday Live,” presented by DCU, above.

Jamie McMurray Proves NASCAR Drivers Are Athletes, Once And For All
Share this: The notion that NASCAR drivers should be considered “real” athletes often is met with a chorus of laughter — which is extremely unfair. Don’t believe us? Let Chip Ganassi Racing driver Jamie McMurray hit you with some truth: From a logistical and competitive standpoint, a NASCAR race and a cycling race have virtually nothing in common.

Temperature and heart-rate statistics aren’t the only evidence you need to know that NASCAR is filled with great athletes. Jimmie Johnson, like McMurray, is a hardcore cyclist, and Danica Patrick perhaps is the most fit driver in the sport. And these two, like every NASCAR driver, need to stay
Stephen A. Smith Claims LeBron James ‘Tempted to Beat’ Kyrie Irving’s ‘Ass’
Share this: To say the relationship between Cleveland Cavaliers superstars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving is not good might be an understatement. James reportedly was “blindsided” by Irving’s recent trade request, and a report Monday said the four-time NBA MVP is “eager” for him to be dealt to another team after the Cavs came to a reported agreement with veteran point guard Derrick Rose. Well, Stephen A. Smith said Monday on the “Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast that, citing sources close to James’ camp, “if Kyrie Irving was in front of LeBron James right now, LeBron James would be tempted to beat his ass.” Smith added: “Let me explain why. I want to make sure this is in context. LeBron James’ beef with Kyrie has

Will Neymar Reject PSG Transfer? Barcelona’s Gerard Pique Declares ‘He Stays’
Share this: Although a picture can tell one thousand words, Gerard Pique needs only two on the subject of Neymar. Pique, FC Barcelona’s captain, announced Sunday that Neymar will remain with the club and reject a record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Here’s What Jordan Spieth Told His Caddie After 50-Foot Eagle At British Open
Share this: Jordan Spieth appeared to be melting down during the final round of the 2017 British Open when he hit his tee shot on the 13th hole so far right it was hard to tell if he was still on the course. Spieth took an unplayable and managed to save bogey on the par-5 to fall one shot behind Matt Kuchar for the championship. But Spieth responded with a birdie at the par-3 14th and then, at the par-5 15th, the 23-year-old stood on the edge of the green with a 50-foot eagle putt staring him in the face. And as major champions often do, Spieth sent the ball right into the center of the cup to take a one-shot lead that
