Just another day in Boston sports, huh? Today is shaping up as more of the same as the fallout continues from yesterday's revelation in the New York Times, and with the MLB trade deadline. Both events should dominate the discussions today. First, let's get to the Ortiz stuff. To be honest, I'm not interested in … Continue reading Ortiz, Dice-K, Trade Deadline, Patriots Camp = Insanity
Heard 5 sec of Felger on CSN. wow. SCREAMING: The Twins knew Ortiz stunk and that's why they let him go.

Michael S. Schmidt in the New York Times reports that "according to lawyers with knowledge of the results" both Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were among the 103 MLB players to test positive for performance-enhancing drugs back in 2003.

The official end of summer isn't until late September. For many people the unofficial end of summer is Labor Day. For others the start of Patriots training camp signals that there isn't a whole lot of summer left.

With Patriots camp starting today, I'm going to split up the links into two posts. The Patriots links will be coming very shortly.

Leading by three runs in the ninth inning, Jonathan Papelbon couldn't close out the A's, who tied up the game on his watch, and then Oakland scored more two runs in the 11th inning off Manny Delcarmen to pull out a 8-7 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Amalie Benjamin has a pair of Nick … Continue reading Sox Bullpen = #epicfail Against A’s
