In the final days of the regular season, we spent our time thinking about which teams would make the playoffs, followed by identifying the opening opponents and potential bracket paths through the American League. The next think we think about is the game times, and the 6:00 starts for this entire week works in the East Coast fans’ favor, as opposed to fans of teams in Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, and San Diego, all of whom have three straight days of game times during the 9-to-5 workday.The last thing that comes to mind until Game One actually starts is the broadcasters.…

By TIM REYNOLDS MIAMI (AP) — Not even half of the spots in the 48-team field have been claimed. The schedule of matches won’t be finalized until December. And other than host nations U.S., Canada and Mexico, nobody has any idea where or when they’ll be playing. Millions of soccer fans worldwide evidently don’t seem to mind any of those points. Tickets to next year’s FIFA World Cup officially go on sale Wednesday. The buyers will be those who were selected, out of 4.5 million applicants in a lottery that took place last month, to have the first formal chance…
Jordan Harris is thrilled he signed a one-year deal with the Boston Bruins. When Harris hit free agency on July 1, he wasn’t sure where he was going to go. But when the Bruins showed interest in him, he knew he would sign with Boston. Harris is from Haverhill, Mass., and getting to play for his hometown team was something he couldn’t pass up. “I was really excited when I heard Boston could be a possibility,” Harris recently said to BostonBruins.com. “I told my parents and everything once I found out. They were so pumped – my whole family, buddies.”…

NEW YORK — This year Aroldis Chapman put together one of the most dominant seasons by a reliever in MLB history, but with three outs to go in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series things almost went completely off the rails. After coming on to record the final out of the eighth, Chapman returned for the bottom of the ninth and immediately gave up three consecutive Yankees singles to load the bases with nobody out. At that moment it looked like the Red Sox could be headed for a crushing defeat, but after a brief mound visit Chapman…
The Patriots are 2-2 and heading to Buffalo for a primetime game against the class of the AFC. Is Sunday night’s matchup against the Bills the biggest of quarterback Drake Maye’s career? We answer that and more in this week’s mailbag. @Quig052095: How desperate could Philly be to unload an “unhappy” BROWN? Patriots are one of the few teams that could take the dead cap hit. How about 75% of cap hit, 2026 5th, and Douglas. Not that desperate! I would be shocked if the Eagles traded A.J. Brown at all. If they do, I’d be surprised if it took…
Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet might really be everything you want in an ace. Crochet has the physical profile, the elite velocity, and the nasty secondary pitch that usually come with an ace, but most importantly, he has the killer mindset required to raise his level during the most important games. Red Sox fans learned that last detail about Crochet on Tuesday night as the left-hander delivered a gem for Boston in a critical Game 1 ALWC win over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Crochet told Cora yesterday he was only going to make one call to…
It’s widely believed that the Red Sox lack the high-end talent to go on a World Series run. Rightly so. What’s often missing from that discussion, though, is the advantage the Red Sox have in the dugout. Because while there may not be easily accessible, tangible evidence to prove it, the reality is that Alex Cora is a master of his craft — one whose comfort in big moments gives the Red Sox an edge over just about any team in baseball. Cora’s feel for the game was on display in multiple areas in Tuesday night’s dramatic 3-1 victory over…
NEW YORK – As the Red Sox battled to maintain their hold on a Wild Card in the waning weeks of the regular season, one of their most key pitchers was quietly fighting what ultimately proved to be a losing battle. “I probably started feeling it around my start against the A’s. Yeah, it started off mild and obviously got progressively worse,” said right-hander Lucas Giolito, whom the Red Sox left off the Wild Card roster after manager Alex Cora made the stunning announcement about the injury on Monday. “It started off mild and obviously got progressively worse.” Knowing what…
NEW YORK (AP) — Garrett Crochet retired 17 consecutive batters after allowing Anthony Volpe’s second-inning homer, pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida lined a go-ahead, two-run single off reliever Luke Weaver, and the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 3-1 on Tuesday night in their AL Wild Card Series opener.Crochet improved to 4-0 against the Yankees this year, throwing a career-high 117 pitches in a marquee duel of ace left-handers against Max Fried. Crochet struck out 11 and walked none over 7 2/3 innings while allowing four hits.Pitching with a lead after Yoshida’s go-ahead hit in the seventh, Crochet extended his…
