Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of the oft-asked question of who are the smartest fans in baseball.We Red Sox fans tend to think it’s us. This seemed to be a particular point of pride in the pre-2004 years. If we couldn’t have a championship team, we’d have championship fans, damn it! I have a distinct memory of a Sunday notes column in the late ‘90s in which Peter Gammons waxed lyrical about how amazing it was that a smattering of fans behind the Red Sox dugout once gave Darren Bragg a standing ovation as he jogged in at the…

From the moment A.J. Brown joined the Patriots, the floor for his debut season was 1,000 yards. More realistically, a 1,200-yard season with Drake Maye seemed to be on the docket. Optimistically, Brown could get back to his near-1,500-yard average from the 2022 and ’23 seasons. Now, of course, those expectations have already been tossed in the garbage after Brown suffered a high ankle sprain in his first game with the Patriots. Brown was placed on injured reserve, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that he’s expected to miss six weeks with the injury, indicating the injury is on…
BOSTON (WHDH) – Red Sox rookie Payton Tolle Sunday became just the sixth pitcher in MLB history to throw an immaculate inning in the first inning of a game. An immaculate inning occurs when a pitcher records three strikeouts on nine pitches. The 23-year-old lefty has quickly become a fan favorite through not only his pitching prowess, but by showcasing his infectious personality. On the eighth pitch of the inning, Tolle flashed a bright smile into the Red Sox dugout before getting Kansas City Royals right fielder Jac Caglianone to strikeout swinging, completing the rare feat. “We saw him smile…
The Red Sox were on the cusp of the World Series in 2003. They made history in 2004. They lost to the eventual World Series Champion Chicago White Sox in the 2005 ALDS. Heading into 2006, with acquisitions like Coco Crisp, Mike Lowell (after the fact at least), and Josh Beckett, expectations were high.As late as the week of August first the Sox were tied with the Yankees atop the AL East. However, over the final two months of the season a tough 9-21 August and bounceback 13-14 September would leave the club at 86-76. This would be good enough…
NEW YORK (AP) — Bacteria that cause potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease were found in a Yankee Stadium cooling tower — one of 10 such towers in the Bronx that tested positive amid several reported cases of the illness including one death, New York City health officials said.The city’s Health Department said Sunday that more tests were being done to determine whether the Legionella bacteria in the towers was live, and the Yankees said none of the current Legionnaires’ disease cases in the area has been linked to the stadium. Only live bacteria can cause the disease, which is a form of pneumonia. The…

We’ve reached the “wake me up for the playoffs” portion of the Boston Red Sox season. The Red Sox have 12 games remaining on their 2026 regular-season schedule. As of Monday, they sit comfortably in the second American League Wild Card spot with a six-game lead. They’re 4.5 games behind the New York Yankees in the Wild Card standings, so barring a shocking development, they’ll visit the New York Yankees in the Wild Card Series for the second consecutive year. Which 26 players will the Red Sox bring with them to the Bronx? Who’s on the chopping block? Here’s our…
Tanner Houck’s last appearance for the Boston Red Sox was July 9, 2025.That was more than 14 months ago. A month after that start, he underwent hybrid right-UCL reconstruction and flexor tendon repair—Tommy John surgery, with the flexor tendon thrown in on top. That’s the kind of procedure that doesn’t just end your season, it rewrites your timeline entirely. Pitchers come back from Tommy John. They come back from flexor tendon repairs. Coming back from both at once is its own thing, and doing it in a little over a year is fast.The plan from here: two more rehab outings…
