The Red Sox continue to cruise along, winning their seventh in a row last night, behind a resurgent Clay Buchholz. The magic number to win the division sits at six games with ten to play. It is always satisfying to see cocksure loudmouths have to eat their words when it comes to the local teams, … Continue reading Streaking Sox, Underdog Pats

A few thoughts and observations from last night and the last week or so. Games like last night are always so much fun. Whenever I see prediction sets like this: https://twitter.com/Justin_McIsaac/status/775176049860706306 and this: https://twitter.com/NFLMedia/status/774939527487983616 and this: https://twitter.com/CharleyCasserly/status/775121174497988608 I have to smile.

That's Hall of Fame worthy analysis by the voice of Boston sports right there. John Dennis is gone. It certainly appears that the longtime morning co-host will not be returning to … Continue reading These Red Sox Sure Are Hateable Right Now

Kevin Durant would've been fun to watch here in Boston. Kevin Durant will be very fun to watch with the Warriors.

Stop me when this sounds familiar: Sports league has annual draft. Local team has a ton of draft picks shrewdly acquired through various trades.

Internet scouts … Continue reading A Familiar Scenario

The Planet Mikey show is no more. Effective immediately. WEEI removes longtime host Mike Adams from evening program - Finn. A Phil Zachary quote in that article reads: “As you know, WEEI has extensively–and successfully–revamped every major weekday show over the last three years.
