The magic of modern medicine has caused me to see pharmaceutically-induced snakes on the sidewalk this week. So if I say Serpientes instead of Marlins, or if anything else weird happens here, well, this is my brain on drugs. Still climbing out of the injury hole.The first inning was an action-packed affair that ended with our guys up by two. Roman Anthony drilled the very first pitch for a long single. He and Trevor Story both singled, stole second, and scored in the inning. Masataka Yoshida was responsible for the RBIs. Fun.What’s better than a two-run first inning? A four-run…

The last time Cal Quantrill faced the Red Sox, he and then-Sox catcher Reese McGuire induced a bench-clearing incident in Colorado. Quantrill and Rockies got the last laugh that July 2024 day, winning 20-7 and taking the series from a spiraling Boston ball club. The Red Sox got their revenge Saturday, knocking Quantrill around in a 7-5 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins that wasn’t even close to a competitive ballgame until the ninth inning. The Boston bats were on the Quantrill from the very first of his 80 pitches in the contest, a Roman Anthony leadoff single. The Marlins…
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić suffered an injury on Saturday. Playing for Slovenia in an exhibition against Kristaps Porzingis and Latvia, Dončić came up limping in the third quarter after a teammate was inadvertently pushed into him. The Athletic’s Dan Woike was the first to report the Dončić injury. “Luka Dončić was able to walk to the locker room on his own during a Slovenian game but he was favoring his right leg after a teammate was pushed into him,” Woike posted to X. “We’ll see if he returns in the second half of this exhibition against Latvia.” Shortly…
In competitive Counter-Strike 2, the economy system is not just a background mechanic – it’s the silent architect of victory or defeat. Force-buy rounds, where a team invests nearly all remaining funds into cheaper weapons and limited utility, are the high-risk, high-reward gambits that can turn the tide of a match. Mastering these rounds requires a blend of game sense, team discipline, and a deep understanding of CS2’s evolving meta. The Strategic Purpose of Force-Buys Force-buys aren’t just acts of desperation; they are calculated disruptions to your opponent’s rhythm. A successful force-buy can: Break the enemy’s economy, forcing their own…

There’s been a change in the Patriots’ first-unit offensive line. Veteran Ben Brown replaced rookie Jared Wilson at left guard in the Patriots’ starting lineup during Saturday’s preseason game against the Vikings. Brown was also the Patriots’ top left guard in Thursday’s joint practice with the Vikings, a session in which Wilson was limited. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told the WBZ broadcast crew — Scott Zolak, Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty — that the team was still trying to find it’s best five offensive linemen. In Saturday’s preseason game, rookie Will Campbell started at left tackle with Brown at…
Baseball injuries often occur at unexpected times and places. That’s unfortunately true for Kutter Crawford. The Boston Red Sox starting pitcher underwent season-ending wrist surgery in early July before ever taking the mound in 2025. Crawford suffered the injury while working his way back from a knee issue that had sidelined him since spring training. On Friday, Crawford joined the Red Sox for the first time since his procedure. The 29-year-old told reporters, per MLB.com’s Ian Browne, that he didn’t injure his wrist during any baseball activities. “Just doing some pretty standard maintenance around the house,” Crawford said. “Outside, kind…

Winning the first two holes gave Isabel Brozena the confidence she could capture the 122nd Massachusetts Women’s Amateur Championship. And that’s exactly what she did. Temperatures were much cooler Friday than the first four days of the tournament at Concord Country Club. But Brozena, a North Reading native and Xavier University student, kept up her hot play by defeating Shannon Johnson, 42, of North Easton and Thorny Lea Golf Club, 2 up. Johnson rallied to win the fifth hole, but then Brozena, representing Indian Ridge CC of Andover, captured No. 6 and 7 to take a commanding three-hole lead. Johnson…
After a 2-4 road trip to San Diego and Houston, the Red Sox (66-56) are back at Fenway Park Friday night to open a five-game home stand with the Miami Marlins (58-63) and Baltimore Orioles (55-66). Boston will look to reset after a rough stretch for the starting rotation. Lucas Giolito enters his 19th start with a 3.77 ERA over 100.1 innings, but he’s coming off a tough loss to the Padres in which he incurred four earned runs on five hits, walked six and only struck out one over 4.2 frames. It was the sixth time the veteran right-hander…
