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

This week’s “Thursday Night Football” game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers will be the third NFL game this season to be streamed live on Twitter, which means you won’t have to think outside the box much to watch the live stream. Depending on your cable provider, NFL Network subscribers also can watch the game online, and Verizon users can stream the game on the network’s NFL Mobile app. Both teams have started the season 1-3.

Patriots Are Interception-Free, But Alarming Fumble Total Is Concerning
by Zack Cox on Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 2:03PM 1,131 Share this: The New England Patriots made it through Tom Brady’s Deflategate suspension without their backup quarterbacks throwing a single interception. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is the Patriots are fumbling the ball at their highest rate in years. Including special teams, New England has put the ball on the ground an NFL-most 12 times through four games, including three fumbles by quarterback Jacoby Brissett and two each by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, running back LeGarrette Blount and wide receiver Danny Amendola. For context, the Patriots have fumbled more than 17 times in an entire season just once since 2006. They did so 27 times in 2013, with 10 of them being charged to quarterback Tom Brady. No
Red Sox Notes: John Farrell Makes Some Roster Decisions Ahead Of Postseason
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox officially are in postseason mode after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, which means there are roster moves to make. Major League Baseball’s playoff teams have to shrink their rosters from 40 back to the usual 25 now that September is over, so Red Sox manager John Farrell has some work to do before his team heads to Cleveland on Thursday for Game 1 of their American League Division Series against the Indians. But luckily for the skipper, he’s already started. “There’s been three players that have been notified they will not be with us,” Farrell said prior to Sunday’s game. “(Starter) Henry Owens and (infielder) Deven Marrero will report to Fort Myers, (Fla.,
