The Red Sox are still on the road, having decamped south to Houston to face the dastardly Astros after losing 2 of 3 to the Reds. Which is fine. It’s March. March!

The rest is standard-issue fare. Go Sox!Oh also you haven’t seen it, here’s Rosalia’s performance at the BRIT awards. Probably more important than all this, ngl: Source link

PHOENIX — The years of labor bliss between the NFL and its players isn’t finished. But you can see the end from here. With a salary cap ballooning to $301 million this season, teams muttering about the rising expenses of doing business and the push for an 18-game regular season (and 16 international games), both sides are chalking their hands for the upcoming tug-of-war. And the NFL’s Annual Meeting this week at The Biltmore could be the true beginning of it. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk and retired 13-year veteran Jason McCourty both weighed in on the simmering showdown on Tom Curran’s…

Connelly Early pitched well, although it wasn’t a dominant performance, but his offense only gave him two runs of support. A single and a walk later, and the go-ahead run was at the plate for Cincinnati. Greg Weissert left a pitch over the plate, and the Reds had a lead in the sixth inning.The Red Sox threatened…
