Mike Timlin was home recently when he got a call from Kathryn Nixon, the wife of Timlin’s former Red Sox teammate Trot Nixon. She had planned to suggest an idea to Timlin’s wife Dawn, but when Mike answered the phone she made the pitch to him as well. What if they all rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge together in honor of Tim and Stacy Wakefield? “I don’t think she finished her sentence,” Timlin said. “I’m just like yeah, I’m in.” An 18-year big league veteran, Timlin was teammates with Wakefield in Boston for the last six years of his career.…

Mary Kay Cabot received the Bill Nunn Memorial Award on Friday. It’s probably about time to give her another… Cabot, who is a sportswriter for the Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com who has covered the NFL since 1988, received the award for “long and distinguished contribution to pro football through coverage.” Cabot’s speech included stories about former Cleveland Browns head coach Bill Belichick calling and yelling at her whenever he didn’t like something she’d written. Cabot’s response? “I totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time,” Cabot said Friday, as transcribed by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “I was…
Offensive tackle was, without question, the Patriots’ weakest position in 2024. Understandably, a significant amount of resources were poured into the position this year, with the team signing veteran right tackle Morgan Moses in free agency and using the No. 4 overall pick in the draft on left tackle Will Campbell. The 34-year-old Moses has more than a decade of NFL experience under his belt, having played in 166 regular-season games for three different organizations. He’s seen plenty of players come and go during his time in the NFL, yet when he looks over at the rookie on the other…
By DOUG FEINBERG UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal to buy the Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million and move the team to Boston, according to a person familiar with the sale. The franchise wouldn’t play in Boston until the 2027 season. Pagliuca also would contribute $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston for the team, the person said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Saturday because the deal hasn’t been publicly announced. The sale is pending approval of the…
Ric Flair had many legendary opponents throughout his illustrious career. But he never encountered anyone like Hulk Hogan. “Hogan is the biggest star ever in this business,” said Flair. “Working with him, it didn’t get any better.” By the winter of 1992, Hogan and Flair were wrestling one another all across the country. There were matches in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, as well as Honolulu, Chicago and St. Louis. Among their travels was a stop in the center of the universe–Boston, MA. On Saturday, Jan. 18, the famed Boston Garden hosted a card featuring Hogan vs. Flair.…
The game started out with dueling home runs in the first, first the Astros, then the Red Sox. Trevor Story’s own homer in the third put the Sox in front. Today, we got our first look at Steven Matz. The Sox plans for him have been a bit of a mystery; would he be used as a one-inning guy, or could he go longer? He began by issuing a walk, then struck out Jose Altuve on a swing that made his batting helmet fly off. That was fun. It turns out Matz is a one-inning guy, at least for today.…
Against some teams, a four-run lead seems like enough. The Astros aren’t typically one of those teams, but thanks to a gutsy combined performance by seven Boston pitchers, the Red Sox pulled off a 7-3 come-from-behind victory to take their third straight series and overtake the Yankees in both the American League East and Wild Card standings. It took a while, though. “That took forever, that game,” manager Alex Cora said. “There was a lot of traffic but at the end we were able to get 27 outs and we won the series.” Houston took a 2-0 lead in the…
The Boston Red Sox have been without one of their most impactful relievers for two months, but it doesn’t look like they’ll need to wait much longer for his return. Justin Slaten’s unidentified injury has been… well, identified. Slaten, who has not appeared in a game since May 28, had been dealing with an oddly mysterious neck/shoulder injury that caused him to be shut down from his throwing program on numerous occasions. Slaten, however, shared he feels “back to normal” on Saturday, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford. Boston found out the transverse bone was growing into a nerve in his…
