Many expected the Red Sox to take at least 3-of-4 at The Trop to open the year, however, few expected Boston to outscore the Rays by just one run in the series.

Rogers Centre opened in 1989, 9 years before Tropicana Field but feels more modern by a factor of 10, while the Trop feels like the Rays bought the lease from Marge Schott.

Rick Porcello went 11-0 last season when the Red Sox supplied him with three runs or more of support. He’s now 1-0 in that category in 2018.

Game #2 – we’re on the board

March 31, 2018Home, SportsAlex Cora, Boston Red Sox, Chris Price, Chris Sale, Craig Kimbrel, Tampa Bay Rays, Xander Bogaerts

Through the first two games, Sale and Price have combined to give the Red Sox 14 scoreless innings while conceding just five hits and striking out 14.

By Sterling Pingree

With baseball season almost upon us it’s time for my annual Jackson 5 where I make bold predictions for the upcoming year. These predictions are labeled bold for a reason – they’re unlikely to come to fruition.

Sigh of relief; The Patriots’ biggest off season move

March 25, 2018Home, SportsMatthew Slater, New England Patriots, NFL Films, NFL Free Agency
By Sterling Pingree

The Patriots most impactful signing, didn’t have a catch in 2017 or return a punt. In fact, the last punt he tried to return, I’m pretty sure was fumbled.
