By Mark Paulette, I will maintain, and argue with anyone who thinks otherwise, that last year’s Red Sox team was not likable. They were uber successful. They far exceeded expectations. But they were not likable. The team was machine-like. Play ball, win game, repeat. It was clockwork, and it was done at a clip few […]
Sean McAdam of the Boston Sports Journal joined the show on Monday to discuss the shocking news that David Ortiz had been shot in his native Dominican Republic Sunday. McAdam shared further information, including how the Red Sox are helping to bring a now-stable Big Papi back to the Boston area.
By Mark Paulette (Check out yesterday part one.) 8. Al Horford Ships up to Boston, 7/2/16 – “The Boston Celtics can’t lure a top free agent they said.” [Insert Dwight Schrute “False” meme]. Al Horford penned a 4-year, $113-million deal with the C’s, bucking said trend and bringing his 4x All Star resume to Beantown. […]
By Matthew Cunha The 2016 Boston Red Sox won as many playoff games as the 59-103 Minnesota Twins did. They won the AL East, but in a city used to championships, simply making the playoffs is not good enough.

To cover these monumental Boston stories, Boston columnist Eric Wilbur joined Jim Churchill, Jeff Solari and Sterling Pingree to run through these […]
Offense- 1st quarter grade A+, 2nd quarter grade A-, 3rd quarter grade B+, 4th quarter grade A- The best subject for the 2016 Red Sox has been offense. We’ve seen dips and dives during the season, but when they were good in April/May, they were really freaking good. When they dipped in June, it […]
People love a winner. Put a winning team on the field and like a baseball diamond in an Iowa corn field, “People will come Ray, people will most definitely come.” Winning in major sports trumps almost everything, including at times the illegal activities of its star players. In the case of the Portland Sea Dogs, […]
The end of the Red Sox schedule has loomed large of the success of this team all season. An 11 game road trip through 4 cities in 11 days seemed like an icredibly tough test. So far through 8 games, the Red Sox are 6-2 and are in a tie for first in the American […]
With the Red Sox schedule, their home stands seem more like a junior coming home from college on a spare weekend. They have just enough time to do their laundry, raid the fridge and head right back out on the road. After going 5-6 on their most recent road trip, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com joined […]
