Well, that road trip, and the entire first half of the season for that matter, was an infuriating experience! The Sox now have another Thursday off-day today to rest and recover, and then kick off what will hopefully be a much more fruitful and spectacularly memorable second half of the season. (I still believe their ceiling remains high, even if the odds of reaching it are lower.) As always, talk about what you want and be good to one another! Source link

The Travelers Championship (https://travelerschampionship.com/) rolled through TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, last week and while American Keegan Bradley pulled off a thrilling last moment win – landing the Ryder Cup Captain his second win there in three years and a $3.6 million paycheck – it may just be the crowds chanting “USA!” and taking in the event all week who won big. The event, despite some scorching heat and a short weather delay on Sunday, drew more than a quarter of a million spectators who followed their favorite champions, savored all kinds of course-side foods, and played games of…

The list of Celtics champions who will be playing for new teams in 2025-26 already includes Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. Brad Stevens hopes Al Horford and Luke Kornet aren’t added to that list. Horford and Kornet are Boston’s top two impending free agents, and Stevens said Wednesday that re-signing both big men is an offseason priority. “I think the biggest thing is, as you look at the rest of the team and what we’re trying to do, there is no question our priorities would be to bring Al and Luke back,” the Celtics’ president of basketball operations said in…

The Bruins picked Dean Letourneau in the first-round of the 2024 NHL Draft but he didn’t pan out exactly how they wanted in his first year. Before Boston picked Letourneau, he played in prep school at St. Andrew’s College in Ontario. He tore up prep school, totaling 127 points on 61 goals and 66 assists through 56 games in his last season. The 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward played just two games in the United States Hockey League with the Sioux Fall Stampede. After Letourneau was drafted to the Bruins, he opted to go to Boston College instead of staying another year…

When the Celtics announced Jayson Tatum had undergone season-ending Achilles surgery, they did not share a projected timeline for his return. Six weeks later, they still were not ready to do so. Though president of basketball operations Brad Stevens offered positive updates on Tatum and Celtics co-star Jaylen Brown during his draft-night news conference, he declined to say when the team expects to have the former back on the court. “We don’t, and we won’t. We won’t put a projected timeline on him for a long, long time,” Stevens said after Boston selected Spanish wing Hugo Gonzalez with the 28th…

Hugo Gonzalez might be a new name to Boston Celtics fans, but president of basketball operations Brad Stevens assured the organization is quite familiar with the international prospect. The Celtics drafted Gonzalez with the 28th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old wing came off the bench during the 2024-25 campaign for Real Madrid (Madrid, Spain). “We’ve been watching Hugo for a long time. He’s obviously been on everybody’s radar for a long time,” Stevens told reporters after the first round ended late Wednesday night, per CLNS Media. “(We) followed his year with a great…

The Boston Celtics decided to keep the No. 28 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, and they used it to select Spanish wing Hugo Gonzalez. Gonzalez played for Real Madrid in Spain last season and averaged 5.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Gonzalez plays with great energy, athleticism and competitiveness. He’s also a good defensive player at 6-foot-7 and 205 pounds. Gonzalez didn’t play a ton for Real Madrid last season — just 14.2 minutes per game at age 19 — so he definitely has lots of areas to improve, one of…

With the 28th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected Hugo Gonzalez, a 19-year-old wing from Spain. The 6-foot-6 Gonzalez was regarded as a first-round talent by most prominent draft analysts, but how he’ll fare against NBA-caliber opponents is something of a mystery. He played for Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid last season but saw only sporadic playing time as a teenage bench player, averaging 3.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and just over 10 minutes per game. Though he lacks experience, scouting reports laud Gonzalez for his size, aggressiveness, high motor and defensive capability. He struggled as a perimeter…
