Second City alum Becky Drysdale, the pinnacle creator on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” has stepped down after 8 months at the activity, vowing by no means once more to write down comedy about Donald Trump. “I am making the decision for myself to never work on, write, or be involved with, another Trump sketch ever again,” she wrote in a word to her Facebook pals. “I have landed in several jobs and situations over the last few years, not just ‘The Tonight Show,’ where the project of making fun of Trump, or doing material about Trump, has led to divided creative teams, anxiety, tears and pain. I can’t decide the outcome of this election, but I

Red Sox Notes: Boston’s Offense Struggles To Produce Hits In Loss To Orioles
Share this: One night after the Boston Red Sox exploded for four runs in the ninth inning in what ultimately was a failed comeback attempt, the Sox couldn’t muster a similar stretch Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Boston only recorded four hits in Friday’s 3-2 loss at Camden Yards, and it only had one baserunner through five innings. Luckily for the Sox, that baserunner was Pablo Sandoval on a solo home run. But other than that, O’s starter Alec Asher and the Baltimore bullpen mostly stymied the Red Sox’s bats. “Give credit to Asher,” Boston manager John Farrell said, as aired on NESN’s postgame coverage. “… He pitched all four quadrants of the strike zone. He elevated his fastball on guys in our lineup
Red Sox Notes: Drew Pomeranz Bounces Back With One Of Best Starts Of Season
Share this: Drew Pomeranz didn’t just throw his longest outing since last month. He also looked dominant doing it. The Red Sox left-hander struck out 11 Texas Rangers in Boston’s 6-2 win at Fenway Park. He allowed two earned runs on four hits in six innings, which was a positive sign after he failed to pitch more than four innings in his previous three outings. “He threw a good number of cutters today that was really effective, especially against left-handed hitters in particular,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “But on a night where the conditions weren’t ideal, he threw the ball exceptionally tonight. It was a very encouraging start from Drew tonight. That was good to
Celtics Notes: Al Horford Shows How Valuable He Is In Win Over Cavaliers
Share this: BOSTON — If you looked at Al Horford’s stat line at halftime Wednesday, you probably would have guessed he was on his way to a fifth straight game of scoring under 10 points. That ended up being true in the Boston Celtics’ 103-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden, but it doesn’t tell the whole story of what Horford did in arguably the C’s biggest win of the season. Not even close. Horford finished the game with nine points, but seven of those came in the second half, and he was only one point shy of a triple-double with his 10 total rebounds and 10 assists. Oh, and don’t forget his stellar defense on Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers throughout the night. “Even at
