A term that has created much discourse within the NBA community is the “championship window”. A nebulous, poorly defined period of time in which a time is a true championship contender. Today I aim to truly determine if the Celtics have the pieces to go all the way again, or if it’s time for a rebuild/reload (another poorly used term). The Celtics’ window has been considered open ever since, I would argue, 2021. This is when the Jays fully came into their own and the supporting cast was full of great defenders and shooters. Making the Finals in ‘22 only strengthened…
NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Red Sox got a key piece of their bullpen back Saturday when they activated reliever Garrett Whitlock following a short stay on the 10-day injured list.Whitlock was put on the injured list Aug. 13 with right elbow inflammation that he did not think was serious at the time.“A high level back end arm, that’s one of the premier setup relievers in the game,” interim manager Chad Tracy said before the Red Sox faced the Yankees in a day-night doubleheader. ”So having him healthy and back as we approach September is really important for us.”Whitlock is…

Things can change fairly quickly in the NFL, a reality that Eliot Wolf alluded to last week during the Patriots’ preseason game when discussing his crowded wide receiver room. “I think it’s funny to listen to it, because a couple of years ago, everyone was saying that we didn’t have anything. And now they say we have too many,” Wolf said. “So I think it’s a good problem to have.” Indeed, the Patriots not long ago were considered to have the worst receiving room in the NFL, a situation that has transformed significantly in a two-year period. Contrast that comment…
The Yankees starter walked five Red Sox batters on Friday night. The Red Sox scored zero runs. That’s the whole story, and it’s an ugly one.Cam Schlittler was not sharp. He walked five, put traffic on base constantly, and gave Boston every opportunity to cash in. They left ten men on. In a different game—in almost any other version of this game—five free base runners are enough to win. Tonight they weren’t, and the way the Red Sox wasted them made it worse than just a bad night at the plate.Ceddanne Rafaela had two baserunning blunders that each one capable…

Reinforcements could be coming soon for the Boston Red Sox, though not as soon as fans may have hoped. Left fielder Roman Anthony (partially torn tendon in ring finger), shortstop Trevor Story (sports hernia surgery recovery), and utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (stress reaction in forearm) aren’t with the team for Friday’s series opener at Yankee Stadium. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed that the trio will continue their rehab assignments and be in Triple-A Worcester’s lineup on Saturday. So, when could they return to the big-league club? Tracy discussed that and more injury updates before Friday’s game: Roman Anthony,…
