Quarterly report: The Boston sports landscape at a glance

April 17, 2018Home, SportsBoston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski
By Sterling Pingree

While the Yankees were busy trading a couple of Oldsmobile hubcaps and Ron Guidry’s mustache scissor for Giancarlo Stanton, the Sox brass were content to, I don’t know what. Figure out a way to reboot “Sox Appeal”?

Red Sox Hall-of-Famer, Bill ‘Spaceman’ Lee, on Sox-Yankees rivalry [Audio]

Former Boston lefty, and Red Sox Hall-of-Famer, Bill Lee joined the show on Tuesday to discuss the current state of the Sox-Yanks’ rivalry and relive some of its former glory.

What the Cooks’ trade doesn’t mean for the Patriots

April 8, 2018Home, SportsBrandin Cooks, New England Patriots, NFL Draft, Odell Beckham Jr, Rob Gronkowski
By Sterling Pingree

New England will not, absolutely positively (wild about mud) not trade their first rounders (or anything else) for….

Masters, Tiger preview with SportsCenter AM anchor, live from Augusta National [Audio]

I caught up with SC AM anchor, Matt Barrie, who’s spent the week walking the course at Augusta National. Check out his thought’s on Tiger’s return and who he likes to take home the green jacket at the end of the tournament.

Voice of the New England Patriots on the Brandin Cooks trade [Audio]

April 4, 2018Home, SportsBill Belichick, Bob Socci, Brandin Cooks, L.A. Rams, New England Patriots, NFL Draft
By Sterling Pingree

The Voice of the New England Patriots, Bob Socci, joined the show on Wednesday less than 24 hours after the Pats sent Brandin Cooks and a 4th-round pick west to the L.A. Rams in return for a 1st and 6th-round pick.

Game #6 – that’s a (mini) sweep

April 4, 2018Home, SportsBoston Red Sox, Chris Sale, Hanley Ramirez, Miami Marlins
By Sterling Pingree

After 50 days and 50 nights in Florida, the Red Sox are finally heading back to Boston and bringing with them a 5-game win streak.

April and May are destined to be great for Boston sports

April 4, 2018Home, SportsBoston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Kyrie Irving, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz, Washington Capitals
By Sterling Pingree

The current Boston sports situation is further proof of just how spoiled we have become as we are on tap for two deep runs from two gutsy teams.

Game #5 – bats come alive in South Beach

April 2, 2018Home, SportsBoston Red Sox, Hanley Ramirez, Marcus Walden, Miami Marlins, Mookie Betts, Trevor Richards
By Sterling Pingree

While an offensive explosion is never a bad sight, I honestly found myself rooting for a 1-0 or 2-1 victory like we became accustomed to over the weekend, hoping that Richards would find success in his improbable MLB debut.

Game #4 – ‘Cardiac Kelly’ comes through

April 1, 2018Home, SportsBlake Swihart, Boston Red Sox, Hector Velazquez, J.D. Martinez, Joe Kelly, Marcus Walden, Rafael Devers, Tampa Bay Rays
By Sterling Pingree

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.

The saddest little ballpark in baseball

April 1, 2018Home, SportsBoston Red Sox, Harlem Globetrotters, Tropicana Field
By Sterling Pingree

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.
